Staff Application Security Engineer
Employment Info
JOB DETAILS
Requirements
- Operates with high autonomy: can take an ambiguous app risk area and drive it from discovery to architecture to rollout.
- Strong domain understanding of modern application architectures, distributed systems failure modes, and common security pitfalls.
- Designs pragmatic security architectures that fit product constraints and delivery realities.
- Builds leverage through reusable patterns, shared components, and clear standards, not just one-off reviews.
- Communicates trade-offs clearly and aligns product and engineering stakeholders on decisions.
Responsibilities
- Lead secure architecture work early: threat model features, define security requirements, and propose concrete architecture options
- Design and standardise secure patterns for authentication, session management, and token handling across services and client applications
- Design and review authorisation models and access control patterns (policy enforcement, fine-grained controls)
- Establish secure API architecture patterns: validation and normalisation, rate limiting, abuse resistance, and observability signals
- Build libraries, templates, and reference implementations so teams can adopt secure patterns with minimal friction
- Shape security testing and feedback loops (static and dynamic testing, dependency scanning) so they reinforce architecture choices and stay actionable
- Contribute to the wider security program by turning recurring application risks into standards, shared components, and engineering guidance
