Senior Application Security Engineer
AppSecRemote
Who you are:
- An intellectually curious, solution-focused engineer with a security mindset who thrives in fast-paced environments
- A technical leader who can architect secure application solutions while maintaining engineering velocity
- Someone who thinks like an attacker but builds like a defender - understanding both offensive and defensive security principles
- A collaborative engineer who can translate security requirements into actionable development tasks
- A mentor who enjoys teaching secure coding practices and security architecture to junior engineers
What you will do
- Lead threat modeling and security architecture reviews with engineering teams by translating security risks into development actions.
- Architect, build, and maintain security tooling and integrations that enable secure development workflows (e.g., SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST tools).
- Collaborate with Engineering, DevOps, and Platform teams to build scalable security controls via Infrastructure-as-Code and secure CI/CD pipelines.
- Design and deploy automated security testing frameworks to identify vulnerabilities early in the development process.
- Serve as a hands-on technical contributor during security incidents by analyzing application-level behavior and enhancing response processes.
- Mentor and support junior engineers on secure coding practices, security architecture, and security tooling integrations.
- Evaluate and uplift application security tooling across commercial and open-source capabilities by focusing on scale, efficiency, and precision.
- Define and track key security posture metrics, building dashboards or reports to visualize security coverage and vulnerability trends.
- Partner with engineering teams to implement and maintain security controls across applications and services.
- Stay current with emerging AI/ML security threats, evaluating them for business applicability and integration.
Must Haves
- Proven delivery in application security engineering roles, ideally in cloud-native environments with modern development practices.
- Hands-on experience with security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST) and working knowledge of security automation in CI/CD pipelines.
