Application Security Engineer

About this role

As an Application Security Engineer you will perform application security testing on web applications, mobile applications, microservices, infrastructure code, and open source code in order to expose weaknesses in their design and/or configuration that make them susceptible to exploitation.

You will work closely with development teams, product managers, and other members of the information security team to assess risks, conduct security reviews, and recommend steps for the remediation of identified vulnerabilities. You will educate development engineers on secure coding practices and contribute to overall application security awareness.

### What You Will Work On

• Collaborate with internal teams to define the scope of application security testing activities, including the number and types of applications to be tested, and the testing methodology.
• Plan and carry out application security testing in all phases of the software development life cycle to identify vulnerabilities in application code and weaknesses in secure coding practices.
• Use test results to create reports that detail discovered security issues, assess risk levels, and provide actionable recommendations.
• Assess discovered vulnerabilities and recommend solutions to reduce risk and mitigate security impacts to the application environment.
• Focus on automation to aid in efficiencies with both testing and remediation of findings.
• Communicate findings, risks, conclusions, and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Consider the impact your testing will have on the business and its users.
• Clearly articulate and convey the potential business or operational impact of unaddressed security vulnerabilities.

### Who We Are Looking For
