Architect and deliver threat modelling, secure design reviews, and security requirements for new features and integrations.
Integrate application security tools into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA) and drive automation to reduce risk and developer friction.
Lead incident response for application-level security issues, conduct post-incident reviews, and implement corrective measures.
Mentor and coach developers on secure development practices, vulnerability remediation, and security-aware engineering culture.
Collaborate with product owners, DevOps, QA, and compliance teams to ensure traceability of security requirements and alignment with regulatory or client obligations.
Design and deliver security training, run workshops, and contribute to continuous improvement of the security engineering function.

Proven application security experience, including secure coding practices, secure design, vulnerability remediation, and threat modelling.
Hands-on experience with security tooling and automation: SAST, DAST, SCA, interactive scanning, and secrets detection integrated into CI/CD.
Knowledge of authentication and authorization technologies (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, IAM), encryption, key management, and secure deployment patterns.
Experience with containerisation and orchestration security (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud-native security controls.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to translate security risk into business terms.
