Lead Application Security Developer

Lead Application Security Developer - £90,000 - Hybrid (2 Days Per week)

We are seeking an Application Security Developer to design and build software that strengthens application security across the development lifecycle. This role focuses on developing APIs, services, and security components that integrate with commercial security tools (such as Veracode, Wiz, and similar platforms) and embed security directly into engineering workflows.

You will operate at the intersection of software engineering and application security, building scalable, automated solutions that protect sensitive data and systems while enabling development teams to move quickly and safely.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain secure software components, APIs, and services that integrate application security into the SDLC.
• Develop and implement protocols, algorithms, and applications to protect sensitive data, services, and systems.
• Build integrations with commercial security tools (e.g. Veracode, Wiz, Snyk, Checkmarx) using their APIs.
• Implement, customise, and automate SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning solutions across CI/CD pipelines.
• Normalise, correlate, and surface security findings in developer-friendly formats.
• Collaborate with platform, Dev Ops, and product teams to embed security controls into build and deployment workflows.
• Contribute to threat modelling, secure design reviews, and architectural security decisions.
• Continuously improve application security posture through automation, testing, and tooling enhancements.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as an Application Security Developer, Product Security Engineer, or secure software engineer.
• Strong software development background with Golang or Java (preferred).
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and service integrations.
• Hands‑on experience implementing and operating SAST and DAST tooling in CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong understanding of secure coding practices and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10).
• Experience building security controls into modern cloud‑native applications.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Go or Java for backend and security tooling development.
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems (Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Knowledge of container security, Kubernetes, and runtime security concepts.
• Understanding of cryptography fundamentals, authentication, and authorisation mechanisms.
• Experience with secrets management and secure configuration practices.
