About Andesite:

After decades defending the nation's most sensitive networks, we founded Andesite with a clear mission: to build security products that transform how humans and AI collaborate to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

We’re a diverse team of cyber and security experts, passionate technologists, and experienced product builders. We come from some of the largest national security, tech, cybersecurity, and data organizations on the planet.

We've raised more than $38 million from investors like General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners.

The future of cybersecurity isn't about better technology alone—it's about reimagining how humans and machines work together. Come build with us.

The Role:

Andesite is looking for an Application Security Engineer to join our cybersecurity operations.  In this role, you will secure software applications and cloud environments and identify and mitigate vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle - this includes performing application threat modeling, reviewing source code, managing SAST/DAST/SCA tools, and contributing to secure design and architecture reviews.  This position requires maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability of stakeholders' information and systems. You will facilitate and support vulnerability assessments and gap analysis to identify deficiencies and areas requiring remediation. Deliver real-time threat response through SIEM-driven monitoring, detection, and investigation.

The Application Security Engineer will resolve problems independently and work closely with other departments in a fast-paced, dynamic environment to ensure the organization’s applications, cloud and DevSecOps initiates are secure and compliant with relevant regulations, standards, compliance, and customer requirements. Additionally, you will help educate and empower engineering teams to adopt secure development practices through guidance, training, and collaboration.

What You’ll Do:

  • Product Security: Proactively find security weaknesses during design, development, testing, and deployment phases, and work with teams to remediate them before they reach production.
  • Application Threat Modeling and Secure Design Reviews: Analyze application components, data flows, and trust boundaries to anticipate potential threats and integrate security into architectural decisions early.
  • Application Security Operations: Manage and maintain SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling: Configure, tune, and operationalize static, dynamic, and software composition analysis tools to support scalable and effective application security testing.
  • Code Review: Conduct manual and automated code reviews to detect insecure coding patterns, logic flaws, and injection risks, ensuring code adheres to secure development standards.
  • DevSecOps: Develop and maintain custom scripts and tools to automate security tasks, enhance visibility, and integrate security into development and operational workflows.
  • Cloud Engineering: Enforce least privilege, secure network architectures, and strong identity and access controls across cloud accounts and services.
  • System Monitoring: Monitor computer networks and systems with SIEM to identify vulnerabilities and respond to security threats and attacks.
  • Vulnerability management: Support with scanning, tracking, and remediating security vulnerabilities across systems and applications.
  • Educate: Provide training, documentation, and hands-on guidance to developers and engineers to build a strong security culture and shift security left in the SDLC.
  • Professional Development: Stay current with industry developments and best practices through training, conferences, and other professional development activities.

  • Understanding of cloud compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS, CIS benchmarks, NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
  • Ability to implement and maintain secure configurations aligned with industry standards.

Soft Skills:

  • Strong collaboration skills with developers, DevOps, and cloud engineering teams.
  • Comfortable working across the SDLC to embed security from design through deployment.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
