Overview

We are seeking an experienced Application Security Engineer to serve as a trusted partner to our software development teams. This role focuses on making our product secure by design—embedding security into how software is architected, written, deployed, and maintained. Unlike infrastructure security roles, this position centers on application-layer and code-level security, working closely with developers to enable fast, confident delivery by providing meaningful, actionable security tooling and feedback. This includes leveraging modern AI-assisted techniques to accelerate vulnerability analysis, exploit chaining, and demonstration of actual risk. You will ensure engineering teams move faster—not slower—while minimizing noise. This role is part of the IT & Security team and prioritizes embedding guardrails into developer workflows rather than enforcement gates.

In Short

  • Enable engineering teams to move quickly while embedding security into development workflows.
  • Partner with engineering on secure use of AI services.
  • Identify, prioritize, and implement security tooling in developer environments.
  • Collaborate with developers to identify vulnerabilities in code and APIs.
  • Demonstrate practical exploit techniques to raise security awareness.
  • Analyze vulnerabilities across code, APIs, and logic.
  • Build or adapt automation scripts for continuous security validation.
  • Provide coaching and documentation to help developers understand security guidance.
  • Continuously evaluate emerging AI and application security threats.
  • Lead incident response activities as part of the incident commander rotation.

Requirements

  • Experience as an Application Security Engineer or Security Consultant.
  • Strong understanding of secure coding practices.
  • Ability to apply common web application attack techniques.
  • Proven ability to analyze exploit chains.
  • Hands-on experience integrating security tooling into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with Ruby, Go, JavaScript/React.
  • Deep familiarity with OWASP guidance.
  • Ability to assess and communicate application risk.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits

  • Competitive USD Compensation.
  • 100% Remote (Home Country Only).
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • Local Holiday Pay.
  • Continuous Learning opportunities.
  • Access to AI tools for productivity.
  • Feedback-rich, collaborative culture.
  • Global impact through innovative platform.
