Application Security Engineer 4

The Application Security Engineer 4 is a senior technical contributor responsible for building, implementing, and scaling secure-by-default practices across our software development lifecycle. 
 
This role blends deep software-engineering experience with advanced AppSec expertise. You’ll design, build, and automate security capabilities directly in developer workflows — ensuring our products remain resilient from code to cloud. 
 
You’ll act as both a hands-on engineer and a technical mentor: writing secure code, creating automation pipelines, conducting design and code reviews, and helping development teams ship secure, high-quality software at scale.

Secure SDLC Integration and Automation 

• Build and maintain security automation within CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) — integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, and secret-scanning tools.
  • Develop custom security utilities, libraries, and APIs to automate detection and remediation of vulnerabilities.
  • Partner with development teams to embed security controls into the design and build phases of the SDLC. 
  • Define and measure secure-development maturity using NIST SSDF, OWASP SAMM, and internal engineering metrics. 
   

Secure Design and Threat Modeling 

• Lead design reviews and threat modeling sessions for complex or distributed applications.
  • Translate potential threats into secure design requirements and reusable code patterns.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure secure design decisions are implemented correctly during development. 
   

Code Review and Vulnerability Analysis 

• Perform secure code reviews across multiple languages (C#, Java, Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript).
  • Develop automated processes and tooling to prioritize and track remediation of critical issues.
  • Reproduce and validate vulnerabilities, and contribute secure code fixes or proof-of-concept patches when necessary. 
   

DevSecOps and Cloud Security Engineering 

• Engineer AppSec integrations for containerized and cloud-native workloads (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Automate infrastructure-as-code validation and container image scanning (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes).
  • Create developer self-service tooling for security validation and vulnerability triage. 
   

Mentorship and Technical Enablement 

• Mentor developers and other security engineers on secure coding, automation, and threat analysis.
  • Deliver internal training sessions and demos on advanced security engineering practices.
  • Drive adoption of secure development frameworks and patterns across engineering teams.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. 
• 10+ years combined experience in software development and application security, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead engineering capacity. 
• Strong proficiency in two or more programming languages (C#, Java, Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript). 
• Demonstrated ability to design and build automation for application-security testing and secure SDLC. 
• Deep understanding of secure coding principles, vulnerability classes, and modern development practices. 
• Experience implementing security programs aligned with NIST SSDF, OWASP ASVS, and SLSA. 
• Hands-on familiarity with AppSec tools such as CodeQL, Snyk, Burp Suite, Trivy, Checkov, or similar. 
• Proven success leading threat modeling, secure design validation, and remediation efforts across multiple teams. 
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex technical issues into actionable developer guidance. 
• Relevant certifications (CSSLP, OSWE, CISSP) are beneficial but secondary to demonstrated engineering ability.

Why You’ll Love This Role 

• You’ll write code and build tools, not just review them.
  • You’ll automate security into developer workflows so teams can deliver safely and faster.
  • You’ll have freedom to innovate and implement security solutions that scale. 
  • You’ll collaborate with world-class developers who value security as a fundamental part of product quality.
