Senior Information Security Engineer - Application Security

Camunda is an enterprise platform for agentic orchestration, enabling organizations to coordinate AI agents, people, and systems across complex business processes. As a Senior Information Security Engineer, you will work collaboratively with product and engineering teams to ensure secure design and implementation throughout the software development lifecycle, enhancing the security posture of the platform.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with engineering teams throughout the SDLC – from early design and architecture discussions, through implementation and testing, to deployment – to embed security by design in our products
• Lead and evolve our AppSec tooling and workflows by implementing, tuning, and integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, and container/image scanning into CI/CD pipelines, and making sure findings are actionable for developers
• Drive vulnerability management for our applications and supply chain, including triaging and prioritizing issues, coordinating with teams on fix/mitigate/accept decisions, and ensuring we continuously improve our security posture
• Perform secure design and architecture reviews and threat modeling for distributed, API- and microservices-based systems, helping teams understand security trade-offs and make sound, risk-based decisions
• Support and help coordinate application-layer security incidents and escalations, working closely with Engineering, Support, and other stakeholders to investigate, contain, and learn from issues
• Together with the rest of the InfoSec team, help with security audits, customer assurance, and other processes

Requirements:

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product
• Strong Software engineering and secure coding background, with substantial recent hands-on experience building and reviewing (Java) services, working in CI/CD environments, and shipping SaaS or other cloud-based applications securely
• Secure SDLC, architecture & risk assessment experience, including secure design reviews, threat modeling for distributed/API/microservices systems, and performing risk assessments on product changes or new features
• Vulnerability management & security tooling expertise, with a proven track record of implementing and tuning SAST/DAST/SCA and container/image scanning, evaluating and triaging findings (including false positives), and driving fix/mitigate/accept decisions with engineering teams
• Cross-team collaboration & communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with Engineering, Support, Sales, and other stakeholders while explaining complex security issues and trade-offs in a clear, pragmatic way to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Developer-centric, incident-savvy mindset, meaning you are comfortable managing and supporting security incidents and escalations, you see yourself as an enabler (not a gatekeeper), and you influence teams toward risk-based, practical security improvements
• Experience developing in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript in addition to Java
• Hands-on experience securing Kubernetes- or container-based workloads and modern cloud environments
• Prior work in a B2B software company, especially in high-availability or multi-tenant contexts
• Experience running security training, talks, or workshops for engineering teams
