About the Role
We are seeking a Lead Application Security Engineer to occupy a critical dual role at the intersection of secure software development and hands-on engineering leadership. This position is designed for a technologist who is equally passionate about building modern applications and ensuring they are secure by design.
In this role, you will embed application security expertise directly into the engineering organization. Approximately half of your focus will be dedicated to application security—identifying vulnerabilities, guiding remediation efforts, and providing meaningful security metrics and reporting. The other half will be spent leading and contributing to the design, development, and delivery of applications built with Java and Angular.
The ideal candidate naturally bridges the gap between security and engineering. You will influence architecture decisions, mentor development teams, and champion best practices that balance strong security with scalability, performance, and delivery speed. You will take full ownership of team deliverables while remaining an active, hands-on contributor to the codebase, ensuring quality, stability, and resilience.
Location & Work Model
This position is based in our Scottsdale, AZ office. After completing an initial training period, the role offers a hybrid schedule with four days in the office and one remote day per week.
