Senior Application Security Engineer, Corporate Information Security - Remote (Anywhere in the U.S.)
GuidePoint Security invites you to join as a Senior Application Security Engineer to strengthen the integrity of our software development lifecycle and safeguard our products from emerging threats. In this role, you will collaborate with Engineering, DevOps, AI/ML, and Security teams to embed security considerations from the earliest stages of design through to production and beyond, leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced automation to enhance security effectiveness and efficiency.
General Description We are seeking a Senior Application Security Engineer to embed modern DevSecOps practices, threat modeling, and secure coding programs that align with engineering goals and business priorities. This 100% remote position requires a self-directed professional who can work individually and as part of a multifunctional team, possessing strong written and verbal communication skills to interact effectively with internal stakeholders.
Roles and Responsibilities
Embed security into development:
Collaborate closely with engineering teams to embed security throughout the SDLC—from architectural design and code implementation to CI/CD pipelines and peer reviews—ensuring security is an integral part of how software is built and shipped. Conduct thorough pull request reviews with security focus and contribute to secure coding practices through hands-on development experience.
Find and fix vulnerabilities:
Use automated and manual approaches—including SAST/DAST, manual code reviews, and penetration testing—to identify risks and implement AI-powered vulnerability discovery and prioritization systems.
Automate security checks:
Integrate SCA, secret detection, IaC scanning, container/image scanning, and dependency monitoring into the CI/CD workflow, designing advanced automation workflows using modern development practices and AI/ML frameworks.
Monitor and respond in production:
Implement security telemetry and runtime monitoring to maintain visibility, detect threats in real time, and support rapid response during security incidents using AI-driven anomaly detection and automated response capabilities.
Guide secure design:
Participate in architecture reviews and threat modeling sessions to proactively identify design-level risks, applying cybersecurity standards (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and current threat landscape to guide security architecture decisions.
Respond to security incidents:
Work alongside engineering and security teams during investigations, remediation efforts, and post-incident reviews to strengthen long-term resilience.
Shape the program:
Define and track application security metrics to measure impact, influence priorities, and drive continuous improvement. Lead efforts in secure development practices, risk-based decision-making, and foster a culture where security is thoughtfully embedded, leveraging AI-driven analytics for program insights and automated reporting.
Required Experience
8+ years of experience in application security, software engineering, or related fields, with a strong foundation in integrating security across the SDLC and demonstrated expertise in AI/automation technologies.
Strong development background with proficiency in Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and experience contributing to production codebases and conducting security-focused pull request reviews.
Proven ability to embed security into CI/CD workflows and code reviews in collaboration with engineering teams.
Deep understanding of cybersecurity standards, frameworks, and threat landscape with ability to apply this knowledge to guide security program development.
Hands‑on experience with SAST/DAST tools (Checkmarx, CodeQL, Fortify, Burp Suite, ZAP) and manual code reviews and pen testing including AI‑powered security analysis tools.
Experience automating security checks using SCA tools (Nexus, Snyk, Mend, Black Duck, Artifactory), secret scanners (TruffleHog, GitGuardian), IaC scanners (Checkov, tfsec, Bridgecrew), and container/image scanning (Grype, Aqua, Prisma Cloud) or similar, with ability to build custom automation and integrate AI/ML capabilities.
Familiarity with integrating security into pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, or equivalent with DevSecOps expertise and modern development practices.
Knowledge of security telemetry and runtime monitoring tools (e.g., Wiz, Lacework, Falco, Datadog, New Relic) for detecting and responding to threats in production.
Skilled in architecture reviews and threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA), with the ability to guide secure design decisions.
Strong understanding of OWASP Top 10, CWE, and secure coding standards; experience delivering developer training and hands‑on guidance.
Able to support incident response efforts and contribute to remediation, root cause analysis, and hardening.
