Senior Application Security Engineer

Role Overview

• Embed security into the SDLC.
• Integrate security activities across all SDLC phases: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to ensure secure development practices are applied consistently.
• Review security controls for new features, services, and architectural changes.
• Run threat modeling sessions (e.g. STRIDE) for new and existing systems.
• Identify threats, attack paths, misconfigurations, and insecure design patterns.
• Collaborate with engineers to ensure systems follow secure-by-design principles.
• Perform security-focused code reviews to identify vulnerabilities and risky implementations.
• Provide clear, actionable guidance on secure coding patterns and best practices.
• Assess application and system architectures from a security perspective.
• Perform manual and automated web application security testing (e.g. injection flaws, auth issues, access control gaps, insecure configs, logic flaws).
• Operate, tune, and improve AppSec tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, dependency scanning).
• Integrate and automate security checks within CI/CD pipelines.
• Identify gaps in tooling and recommend or introduce improvements.
• Support engineering teams during application security incidents or vulnerability disclosures.
• Contribute to triage, impact assessment, and root cause analysis.
• Ensure lessons learned are fed back into design, tooling, and processes.
• Enable engineers through training, documentation, and hands-on guidance.
• Create and maintain secure coding guidelines, checklists, and internal resources.
• Act as a trusted security partner, not a blocker.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of secure software development principles.
• Solid knowledge of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, CWE).

• Experience integrating security tooling into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with web application security testing.
• Ability to assess risk pragmatically and prioritize remediation.
• Understanding of cloud-native architectures, APIs, and microservices.
• Background working closely with product and engineering teams.
