This person will be the company's technical authority on the security of its software products. Bridges Information Security and Engineering — embedding security into the SDLC for a ~50-person development team building internet-hosted banking and financial software. Owns the vulnerability remediation program, builds upstream controls that prevent vulnerabilities, and serves as the AppSec authority in customer and regulatory engagements. The company invests from a position of strength — a recent penetration test returned zero findings — ahead of an expected rise in AI-assisted vulnerabilities targeting the financial sector.
The company is maturing its application security function from a position of strength — a recent penetration test returned zero findings — and is investing ahead of an expected increase in AI-assisted vulnerabilities targeting the financial sector. The AppSec Engineer joins with a clear mandate: own remediation of validated findings, build the secure development lifecycle that prevents future vulnerabilities, and establish the AppSec program credibility that banking customers and their regulators increasingly audit directly.
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Own the application vulnerability remediation program with prioritized developer guidance and clear SLAs
Work with development squads to explain findings, validate fixes, and confirm remediation
Drive systemic root-cause fixes rather than one-by-one patching; escalate unresolved criticals and highs
Define and own the SDLC — security gates and review checkpoints in sprint and release processes
Ensure SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling is configured, tuned, and producing actionable developer output
Embed security requirements into product planning and architecture decisions
Threat-model new features and architectural changes before code is written
Review designs for authentication, authorization, data-flow, and cryptographic risk
Produce written threat models that serve as developer guidance and audit evidence
Own API security standards — OAuth 2.0, mTLS, rate limiting, and abuse prevention
Conduct or coordinate manual secure code review of security-sensitive components
Lead application penetration-testing cycles — scoping, managing testers, validating findings
Build and run a Security Champions program across development squads
Deliver developer security training on OWASP Top 10 and secure-coding patterns
Create runbooks, coding standards, and pattern libraries developers can apply independently
This job description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; and nothing in this herein restricts management’s right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time.
Non-Manager: No oversight or accountability for others, an individual contributor, however, leads Security Champions program across development squads (developer-embedded, not security headcount)
We take pride in enabling career growth in an environment of innovation and teamwork. Our commitment to all Mitekians is to do meaningful work that matters. Our culture is defined by delivering our best to our customers by providing high value solutions and impactful outcomes, by continuously challenging convention, and by caring for each other through collaboration and celebrating our successes.
