Senior Application Security Engineer

Senior Application Security Engineer | Poland, Remote

You’ll own security across the software development lifecycle, making secure delivery the default for engineering teams from design and code through to release. You’ll also own the ASPM platform (Ox Security) and turn its findings into fixes that actually ship.

• Salary: competitive, plus annual performance bonus
• Location: Poland, remote (occasional travel to Wrocław)
• Level: Senior, reporting to the Head of Information Security

You’ll join a small Information Security team across London and Poland at an enterprise SaaS company whose clients include major global banks.

Senior Application Security Engineer - What you’ll actually do:

• Build and maintain CI/CD guardrails: SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC and container image scanning, with gating agreed with Engineering
• Tune Ox Security to cut noise and prioritise findings by reachability and exploitability
• Agree remediation SLAs with engineering leads and report clearly on progress
• Lead threat modelling and secure design reviews, and review high-risk code changes
• Strengthen supply chain security through SBOMs, dependency hygiene and build provenance
• Represent platform security in client security reviews and due diligence

Senior Application Security Engineer - What you’ll need:

Essential:

• Strong understanding of the OWASP Top 10 and how to remediate it
• Ability to read and review code in Java, Ruby or Python
• Experience running threat modelling with engineering teams, plus working knowledge of AWS and infrastructure-as-code

Nice to have:

• Ox Security or another ASPM platform
• A software engineering background before security
• Supply chain security (SLSA, SBOMs, artefact signing) or Kubernetes and policy-as-code experience
• Securing LLM or agentic AI features, for example using the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications
