The Role

Our Application Security Engineers play a pivotal role in safeguarding our platform, driving everything from designing secure AWS architectures to embedding automated threat detection that protects customer transactions.

  • Embed security into CI/CD pipelines and repos using policy-as-code tools (pre-commit hooks, SAST/SCA, IDE tool integrations)

  • Secure container and orchestration environments (EKS, Kubernetes, Docker) per best practices

  • Conduct threat modeling sessions and risk‑driven design reviews early in development

  • Perform secure code reviews and static/dynamic analysis; oversee remediation with dev teams

  • Automate repetitive security tasks—vulnerability triage, code scanning, tool orchestration

  • Build and extend in-house AppSec automation frameworks or pentest tooling

  • Partner with security architecture and detection teams (SIEM tuning, logging, telemetry alignment)

  • Develop and enforce AppSec standards and patterns across product teams; iterate through feedback loops

  • Support regulatory or compliance assessments (PCI, CCPA, GLBA) as needed

  • Solid threat modeling and secure code review skills; SAST/SCA tool proficiency

  • Experience scripting automation (e.g. Python, Bash, PowerShell) to streamline AppSec tasks

  • Capability to lead in-house AppSec frameworks or tooling development

  • Strong communicator, able to translate technical findings to non-technical stakeholders

  • Track record of defining and institutionalizing security architecture patterns
