Are you a developer who moved into security and still loves working close to code? Do you enjoy helping engineering teams ship secure software without slowing them down?

We’re looking for a Senior Application Security (DevSecOps) Consultant to work hands-on with development teams, embedding security throughout the software delivery lifecycle. This is an application-security-first role, ideal for someone who understands how modern applications are built and wants to make them safer through practical, scalable security engineering. If you enjoy collaboration through effective communication and have a “can-do” attitude, we would like to speak with you!

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and implement application security solutions and automation across new and existing codebases
• Lead and facilitate threat modeling for applications and APIs, identifying risks early and guiding remediation
• Perform secure code reviews and architecture reviews, providing actionable, developer-friendly feedback
• Integrate security tooling and controls into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows
• Evaluate, select, and integrate modern AppSec and DevSecOps tooling, including AI-driven solutions
• Leverage AI-powered and agentic tooling to improve secure development, code analysis, and security automation
• Support multiple client engagements, serving as a trusted application security advisor
• Clearly communicate security risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Common application vulnerabilities and attack vectors
  • Vulnerability remediation and risk prioritization 

DevSecOps & Tooling

• Experience integrating security into modern CI/CD pipelines
• Hands-on use of AppSec tooling such as SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secrets detection, or similar
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) from an application security perspective 

AI & Modern Security Practices

• Experience evaluating or implementing AI-driven security or engineering tools, including:
  • LLM-powered code analysis or automation
  • Agentic workflows or MCP-based toolchains
• Strong judgment around secure, reliable, and responsible AI usage 

Consulting & Communication
