Job Description

Team Lead, AppSec

Forward Financing

• Lead application and product security across Forward-built, third-party, and AI-built software. • Evolve the pentest program: aggressively security-test and remediate existing software, then continuously test net-new agents and the software agents create. • Proactively build and integrate AI solutions within the appsec function. • Own remediation workflows and vulnerability management with Engineering, including pre-production vs. post-production gap analysis. • Partner with other teams to build controls to contain external exposure: network allowlists, egress proxy, and proxy-level DLP. • Support the test-to-production review process so AI-built work is security-reviewed before promotion. • Grow and develop a team of senior engineers; set quality and coverage standards for offensive testing. • Build and maintain security services within the Forward application stack.

Job Requirements

  • Typically has 7 or more years in application security, offensive security, or product security, including team leadership.
  • Hands-on pentesting and code-review depth across web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure (AWS).
  • Experience building or scaling a security testing program — scoping, tooling, cadence, and remediation SLAs.
  • Understanding of AI/LLM attack surface: prompt injection, insecure agent tool use, and vulnerabilities characteristic of AI-generated code.
  • Experience with modern programming languages such as Ruby, Python, or Go, and with secure SDLC practices.
  • Ability to communicate risk and priorities crisply to engineers and executives.
  • Typically has a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent technical degree, or equivalent industry experience.
