Is this the Application Security Engineer role for you?

Crone Corkill are assisting a West London based scale-up as they look to add an Application Security Engineer to the business. Working as part of a diverse business, you'll be responsible for collaboration across the technical teams, whilst also being capable of working independently. Please note that this JD is a comprehensive list of what you can expect to be involved in, though they don't expect you to have every single skill mentioned below.

You'll cover the architecture of their applications from network to API level, use CI/CD pipelines to implement the automation of security processes, respond to identified threats quickly, and assist with security tests as they look to implement mitigation measures.

What will you do as an Application Security Engineer?

  • Monitor the infrastructure using their available SIEM, EDR, Vulnerability, DLP and SAST/DAST tools
  • Provide sound knowledge on the architecture of their applications from network to API level (emphasis on security)
  • Perform security tests, implement mitigation measures, analyse code and ensure the SDLC remains secure
  • Respond to threats, vulnerabilities and incidents quickly
  • Implement the automation of security processes
  • Assist in driving their security strategy by collaborating across teams, liaising with stakeholders and ensuring security is immersed in the company culture

  • Splunk - Also happy with other SIEM tools

  • Qualys - Also happy with other Vulnerability tools
  • SAST/DAST experience
  • Performing Windows & Linux sys admin

  • Scripting and automating tasks - Flexible with languages
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) mindset - Happy with Terraform, CloudFormation etc
  • Best practice for Cloud Security, logging & monitoring, incident response etc
  • Knowledge of ISO27001

What's in it for you?

In return you'll be joining an intriguing organisation in its relative infancy. Though they've been around for several years and operate as a scale-up, they haven't grown too fast and operate with a good company culture. The foundations for the security team have already been laid, so this gives you a really good opportunity to help push them forward with lots of autonomy in the role for you.
