Make an Impact Where It Matters
Our client is a fast-scaling global technology company delivering intelligence through cutting-edge platforms and software. Their tools power high-impact decision-making across some of the most critical and fast-changing industries.
They are now seeking an Application Security Engineer to embed security into the software development process - ensuring products are secure, scalable, and built to last.

* Be the Security Voice in Engineering: Perform threat modelling, security architecture reviews, and advise on secure design patterns that scale.
* Mitigate Real Risk: Deliver hands-on solutions that reduce vulnerabilities - whether through secure coding, authentication strategies, or technical controls.
* Drive a Culture of Security Awareness: Guide and coach teams on security principles and foster a mindset of shared responsibility for application safety.
* Contribute to Resilience and Compliance: Support initiatives aligned with standards like SOC2 and ISO 27001, and play a key role in audit and risk activities.
* Stay Ahead of the Curve: Keep learning, keep growing - you'll be surrounded by curious minds who thrive on tackling the unknown and solving meaningful problems.
