Application Security Engineer (Senior)

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to architect and build automated security layers within the SDLC, engineering AI-enabled secure code scanning, hardened baseline automation, and CI/CD security tooling integration across a large-scale financial services program. You will work in Python and Java to deploy and tune SAST, DAST, and SCA tools, provide code-level remediation guidance to development teams, and operate with full autonomy building automated security runbooks. The role requires 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong AppSec and DevSecOps focus.

What you will do

• Engineer and deploy AI-enabled secure code scanning capabilities and Golden Images to drive secure-from-the-start adoption;
• Automate the development of secure coding patterns and integrate them with traditional and Agentic SDLC workflows;
• Architect the integration of continuous security scanning tools into enterprise CI/CD pipelines and tune them to eliminate noise;
• Act as a senior technical SME by reading and reviewing complex application code in Java and Python and providing software engineers with highly specific, code-level remediation guidance.

Must haves

• 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong subsequent focus on Application Security and DevSecOps;
• Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Python for security automation and scripting;
• Strong coding and architectural proficiency in Java for reviewing and securing enterprise source code;
• Deep, hands-on expertise deploying and tuning modern application security testing tools, including SAST, DAST, and SCA;
• Experience integrating application security testing tools into complex CI/CD orchestration ecosystems;
• Fully autonomous execution capability, requiring no daily supervision to map out and build automated security runbooks;
• Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

• Experience integrating LLMs, AI agents, or automated coding assistants to streamline vulnerability triaging or secure code generation;
• Advanced application threat modeling experience.
