đź“‹ Description
- • As a Product Security Engineer, you'll embed security into the software development lifecycle across multiple product teams.
- • You'll help teams build, ship and operate secure software by defining requirements, improving detection and prevention through SAST and DAST, supporting application security governance and running threat modelling.
- • Partner with engineering and product teams to define and operationalise security requirements across the full SDLC, from design through to release.
- • Own or co-own application security governance, including secure-by-default standards, patterns and risk acceptance processes.
- • Drive SAST and DAST adoption and quality, from tool tuning through to triage workflows and severity calibration.
- • Support threat modelling for new features, architectural changes and high-risk services, turning findings into actionable engineering work.
- • Provide product security guidance for cloud-native environments, including AWS and containerised workloads.
🎯 Requirements
- • Hands-on product or application security experience within a modern SDLC, including requirements, design review, secure coding guidance and release support.
- • Strong knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and practical mitigation patterns, with experience implementing or improving SAST/DAST processes and reducing false positives.
- • Working understanding of cloud and container security in an AWS and Docker environment, and comfort reviewing code across a primarily C# ecosystem.
- • Ability to translate security risk into actionable engineering priorities, balancing risk, delivery timelines and operational realities.
- • Strong communication skills, with the ability to build trust and influence engineering teams without formal authority, including when requirements or ownership aren't yet fully defined.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Salary range: £60,000 to £75,000, depending on experience.
- • Hybrid working: home and Cambridge office.
- • Monthly wellbeing allowance and generous paid time off.
