Senior Application Security Engineer (Hybrid - US)

Summary

We are seeking a Senior Application Security Engineer who will work with our development team to manage security and risk on our internally developed applications. The engineer will make risk-based decisions on application security, including recommending and validating controls, contributing to the design and upgrade of application security controls, and leading some new projects to further secure our platforms. This role is primarily focused on execution and consulting but should be familiar with roadmap and strategy and contribute where appropriate. Must have the ability to read, review, and make recommendations on secure Django / Python patterns.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the application security roadmap for our internal applications—prioritize risks and sequence work across codebases, application layer, and DevOps.
• Consult with engineers to communicate requirements, create actionable tickets / acceptance criteria, and drive adoption.
• Conduct pull request reviews focused on security, provide guidance on refactors, and approve / deny with clear rationale.
• Serve as a steward for SAST / scanning : review static code scan results, triage findings, eliminate noise, and drive remediation with owners.
• Build reference implementations in Django / Python (i.e. authentication patterns, input validation, secrets handling, rate limiting, geo-based access) without direct responsibility for production feature development.
• Map SOC 2 / NIST to engineering work : translate requirements into stories, controls, and automated evidence in CI / CD.
• Threat modeling & architecture : navigate libraries / architectures and document secure patterns (ADRs / RFCs) that teams follow.
• Oversee security related tasks in the Software Delivery Life Cycle (SDLC) to ensure software development activities remain in compliance.
• Collaborate with software developers and code base leads.
• Act as a liaison between technical requirements from the business (i.e. security, privacy, compliance) and development teams.
• Participate as a subject matter expert in security architecture, including new designs and design reviews.
• Recommend application security improvements based on best practices, OWASP standards and other web application security frameworks.
• Review architecture and compliance-related code changes for security impact.
• Ensure compliance with all company security policies and standards.
• Manage and maintain all security related tickets, including recommendations, testing, and validation.
