## About the role

Security patterns that worked 20 years ago don't hold up anymore, especially as AI changes how fast engineering teams ship code. We're looking for an Application Security Engineer who combines real engineering depth with security fundamentals — someone who gets into the code, spots systemic patterns, and builds the tooling and fixes that address them at scale, rather than flagging issues for someone else to resolve.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of hands-on application security or software engineering experience, not mainly audit or compliance work
- Genuine engineering depth: you can read and reason about code well enough to find real bugs and root causes
- Strong AppSec fundamentals: threat modeling, secure code review, and OWASP-aligned vulnerability knowledge
- Comfort operating independently with good judgment in a fast-moving environment
- Clear communication that earns trust with engineers
