Senior AppSec Engineer
About the assignment
You join a leading organisation that takes application security seriously. Your mission: prevent vulnerabilities before they reach production and reduce security risk across the software development lifecycle.
You'll own AppSec strategy, guide developers on secure coding, and conduct architecture reviews. You'll also lead incident response for application-level breaches and mentor junior security engineers.
This role bridges development and security—you influence both teams to build security in, not bolt it on.
Your responsibilities
- Design and implement secure code review processes using SAST/DAST tools
- Conduct threat modelling and architecture security reviews for critical applications
- Lead vulnerability management: triage, remediation tracking, and vendor coordination
- Develop secure coding standards and training for engineering teams
- Perform security assessments and penetration tests on applications
- Respond to application security incidents and root-cause analysis
- Evaluate and integrate AppSec tools into CI/CD pipelines
- Report security metrics and risks to technical leadership
