Role Description We're hiring a Senior Application Security Engineer to join a small, high-leverage AppSec team. This is a deep-technical IC role with a staff-leaning scope: - Set the technical direction and own delivery on how we find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities across Qualia's products and cloud infrastructure. - Be the person other engineers want in the room when an architecture decision has a security dimension. - Partner daily with product engineering, infrastructure, and platform teams. - Work closely alongside existing AppSec engineers, raising the technical bar of the team while staying deeply hands-on with code, tooling, and adversarial testing. Responsibilities - Run offensive assessments against Qualia's applications and infrastructure: manual penetration testing, exploit development, authenticated web/API testing, and adversarial review of new designs before they ship. - Lead threat modeling and secure design review for the highest-risk initiatives across the company, and mentor engineers to do the same for their own work. - Own and evolve our AppSec tooling stack end-to-end - SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, IaC scanning, and the CI/CD gates that tie them together. - Build the custom rules, detections, and automation that generic tooling doesn't provide. - Harden our cloud posture: review AWS configurations, IAM policies, Kubernetes/EKS workloads, and networking boundaries. - Build automation and guardrails that prevent the same class of issue from recurring. - Reduce toil for the team - write the tools, scripts, and integrations that turn a day of triage into a few minutes. - Partner with Infrastructure and Platform on detection engineering, incident response support, and cross-cutting programs (secrets management, supply chain, runtime security). - Set the technical bar for the AppSec team: raise the quality of reviews, establish patterns others can reuse, and mentor peers across seniority levels. - Represent AppSec in architectural reviews, vendor evaluations, and compliance efforts. Qualifications - 8+ years of hands-on experience in application security, offensive security, or security engineering. - Demonstrable depth in at least two of: offensive testing, security tooling/automation, and cloud/infra security. - Strong offensive skills - able to manually exploit real web and API vulnerabilities beyond what a scanner will find. - Deep familiarity with building and operating security tooling in a modern engineering organization. - Production experience with AWS (IAM, VPC, networking, data services), containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar). - Comfort reading, reviewing, and contributing code in at least one language common to modern web stacks (Python, Go, Ruby, TypeScript, or similar). - Clear, direct communication style. - Strong partnership instincts - leverage by making other teams faster, not by blocking them. Nice to Have - Experience in fintech, proptech, healthcare, or another regulated industry where data sensitivity is high. - Background meaningfully contributing to a bug bounty program. - Experience with identity and access systems (OIDC, SAML, federation, fine-grained authorization). - Detection engineering, DFIR, or red-team experience. - Open source contributions to security tooling, published research, or CVE credits. - Relevant certifications (OSCP, OSWE, GWAPT, GPEN, etc.) - valued but not required. Benefits - Base annual salary of $180,000-$210,000 plus a competitive equity and benefits package. - Comprehensive health plans. - 401k program and commuter benefits. - Professional development and parental leave. - Flexible time off policy. - Robust online onboarding program to train new hires. - Biweekly all hands meetings and a variety of internal virtual events.
