Application Security Engineer

Manchester - Hybrid, 3 days a week in the office. Commutable from Stockport, Wigan, Bolton, Rochdale, Bury, Sale, Liverpool, Warrington, and Runcorn.

Up to £75,000 + benefits

We're partnered exclusively with a Fintech business in Manchester who've been building their own SaaS platform for a decade. It's live, it's scaling, and it's handling sensitive financial data - which means application security really matters here.

They're bringing in an Application Security Engineer to take proper ownership of AppSec across the engineering function. This isn't a bolt-on role where you sit at the end of the process flagging issues. You'll be embedded in the development lifecycle from the start - running threat models, helping developers ship securely, reviewing code, and making sure the right tooling is in place.

The engineering teams are collaborative and they actually want security involvement. So if you're someone who enjoys working with developers and educating as much as you do finding vulnerabilities, you'll fit right in here.

Key skills needed:

  • Strong background in application security, ideally in a SaaS or Fintech environment
  • Experience with SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling - Snyk, Checkmarx, Semgrep, Burp Suite, or similar
  • Threat modelling - comfortable running sessions with engineering and product teams
  • Solid understanding of OWASP Top 10 and how to actually remediate real-world vulnerabilities
  • API security - REST, GraphQL, and the common attack vectors around them
  • Knowledge of secure SDLC and how to embed security into CI/CD pipelines
  • Auth concepts - OAuth, OIDC, JWT, SAML - and where they typically go wrong
  • Able to communicate risk clearly to engineers, product managers, and leadership alike

This is a role with real stakes and real scope. If you want more than just writing reports and waiting for developers to fix things, this is the one.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
