Application Security Engineer

About the Role:

We’re looking for an Application Security Engineer to help our product teams build and ship securely by default. In this role, you will work closely with engineering teams to identify risks early, strengthen secure design and coding practices, and enable teams to release features safely without creating unnecessary friction.

This is a hands-on AppSec role for someone who can independently own recurring security work across multiple teams. You should be comfortable reviewing architecture and code, validating findings, guiding remediation, and making practical recommendations that balance security, product priorities, and delivery speed.

Your Impact:

• Own recurring Application Security activities for multiple product teams, including secure design reviews, threat modeling, code review, testing validation, and remediation guidance.
• Assess vulnerabilities and findings from scanners, testing, bug reports, and internal reviews; distinguish meaningful risk from noise and help teams focus on the most important issues.
• Validate security fixes and recommend compensating controls or practical alternatives when ideal remediation is not immediately possible.
• Improve day-to-day AppSec workflows by tuning checks, refining rules, improving triage quality, and integrating security more effectively into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
• Help engineers understand security findings in practical product terms by providing clear prioritization and actionable remediation guidance.
• Contribute to secure-by-default development practices by reinforcing standards, reference patterns, and review expectations.
• Use structured AI workflows to support complex AppSec analysis, such as broader codebase review, design decomposition, review preparation, and documentation synthesis, while maintaining clear guardrails around prompt and context hygiene, human oversight, and output quality.

Your Qualifications:

• Strong hands-on knowledge of common web and API security issues, authentication and session management concepts, secrets handling, and secure coding fundamentals.
• Proven experience conducting secure code reviews in modern engineering environments, especially in Java, TypeScript, and PHP, with the ability to clearly explain security flaws and collaborate on effective remediation.
• Experience leading or facilitating routine threat modeling for product features or services and translating outcomes into actionable security requirements.
• Experience managing Application Security tools such as SAST, SCA, DAST, and secrets scanning solutions, as well as bug bounty platforms, with a focus on CI/CD integration, false positive reduction, and signal quality improvement.
• Working knowledge of OAuth/OIDC, service-to-service authentication, secrets management, and foundational cloud or container security concepts.
• Ability to prioritize findings based on exploitability, exposure, business impact, and remediation effort rather than relying on severity labels alone.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, technical leads, and product stakeholders.
• Sound judgment when using AI-assisted workflows.
