đź“‹ Description
- • Valence is at the forefront of revolutionizing enterprise leadership development with its groundbreaking AI-native coaching platform. We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive Application Security Engineer to join our dynamic team and play a critical role in safeguarding our innovative products and platform. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an AI-first company that is redefining the future of work for Fortune 500 organizations across diverse sectors including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology. If you are driven by the challenge of securing cutting-edge AI solutions and thrive in an environment that pushes the boundaries of what's possible, Valence is the place for you.
- • As an Application Security Engineer, you will be instrumental in embedding security best practices throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will collaborate closely with our talented engineering teams, acting as a trusted security advisor to ensure that all applications and services meet and exceed our stringent security standards. Your expertise will be crucial in identifying, assessing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities, thereby protecting our platform and the sensitive data of our enterprise clients.
- • Your responsibilities will extend beyond traditional application security. You will be an integral part of a small, elite team, which means you will have the opportunity to engage in cross-domain security initiatives. This could involve working with Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, contributing to the security architecture of our platform, or even engaging directly with customers to address their security concerns and requirements. This broad exposure will allow you to develop a comprehensive understanding of enterprise security in an AI-native context.
- • You will be responsible for conducting thorough security reviews of code, architecture, and infrastructure. This includes performing threat modeling, security testing (both manual and automated), and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and address potential risks before they can be exploited. Your insights will directly influence the security posture of our platform, ensuring its resilience against evolving threats.
- • A key aspect of this role involves developing and implementing security policies, standards, and guidelines. You will help mature our security program by creating robust security controls, defining secure coding practices, and promoting a security-first mindset across the engineering organization. This includes staying abreast of the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices, and translating that knowledge into actionable security measures.
- • You will also be involved in incident response activities, helping to investigate and remediate security incidents when they occur. This requires a calm and analytical approach to quickly assess the situation, contain the impact, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Your contributions will be vital in maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients.
- • Furthermore, you will champion security awareness and training initiatives within the engineering teams. By educating developers on secure coding techniques, common vulnerabilities, and the importance of security, you will foster a culture of shared responsibility for security across the organization. This proactive approach is essential for building secure software from the ground up.
- • This role offers a unique opportunity to work with some of the most sophisticated enterprise AI implementations globally. You will gain invaluable experience by collaborating with technology leaders from Fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola, Delta, Nestlé, General Mills, Schneider Electric, Deutsche Telekom, AstraZeneca, Prudential, CVS, and Bristol Myers Squibb. Your work will directly impact how these leading organizations leverage AI for transformation, providing you with unparalleled insights into diverse organizational approaches to AI adoption.
- • At Valence, we are not just building a product; we are defining the future of work. As an Application Security Engineer, you will be at the heart of this mission, ensuring that our innovative AI coaching platform is secure, reliable, and trustworthy. If you are a security professional who is passionate about AI, thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment, and wants to make a significant impact on a global scale, we encourage you to apply.
🎯 Requirements
- • Proven experience in application security, including threat modeling, vulnerability assessment, and secure code review.
- • Strong understanding of common web application vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and mitigation strategies.
- • Experience with security testing tools and methodologies (SAST, DAST, IAST).
- • Familiarity with cloud security best practices (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and container security.
- • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineering teams and stakeholders.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive salary and equity package.
- • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- • Generous paid time off and holidays.
- • Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.
- • Be part of a mission-driven company shaping the future of AI and leadership development.
