What does an Application Security Manager do?

An Application Security Manager is responsible for overseeing the security of software applications within an organization. They identify and address potential security vulnerabilities, implement best practices for secure development, and ensure compliance with security standards. Their role often includes working with development teams, conducting security assessments, and responding to security incidents to protect sensitive data. Application Security Managers help maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of applications throughout their lifecycle.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Application Security Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Application Security Manager, you need expertise in application security principles, risk assessment, secure coding practices, and a relevant degree or certifications like CISSP or CSSLP. Familiarity with security testing tools (such as SAST, DAST, and vulnerability scanners), secure development frameworks, and compliance standards is essential. Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills help you collaborate with development teams and guide security initiatives. These skills are crucial to effectively safeguard applications, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce security risks within organizations.

What are some common challenges faced by Application Security Managers when integrating security into the software development lifecycle?

Application Security Managers often encounter challenges in embedding security practices early and consistently within fast-paced development environments. Balancing the need for robust security with the demands for rapid delivery can result in pushback from development teams or tight deadlines. They must also navigate evolving threat landscapes and ensure that both technical and non-technical stakeholders are aligned on security priorities. Building strong cross-team relationships and fostering a culture of security awareness are key to overcoming these obstacles.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

We are looking for an Application Security Manager to lead and scale our Application Security program. Reporting to the Global Head of Security, you will be the connective tissue between Engineering and Security - embedding security into how we build, not bolting it on after the fact. 

You have deep empathy for developers and understand their tools and workflows. You lead with automation and actionable guidance, not friction. You are equally comfortable conducting threat models and code reviews as you are building CI/CD integrations and running a Security Champions program. 

Your responsibilities 

Shift Left & SDLC Security 

  • Lead secure design reviews and threat modeling to surface risks early in the development lifecycle. 

  • Deploy and operationalize SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning across repositories and pipelines. 

  • Partner with the Platform DevOps team to build and maintain security automation that embeds inline checks into CI/CD pipelines. 

  • Help architect secure-by-default frameworks, workflows, and reusable patterns for engineering teams. 

  • Conduct application security code reviews and provide clear, developer-friendly remediation guidance aligned with secure coding practices. 

Vulnerability & Risk Management 

  • Define and enforce SLA governance for security findings - from identification and prioritization through to remediation tracking. 

  • Maintain an accurate and up-to-date application asset inventory. 

  • Create and maintain Developer Security Standards with deep familiarity across Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, and GitHub Advanced Security. 

  • Evaluate and implement security tooling and automation to continuously improve application security posture and operational efficiency. 

Developer Enablement & Culture 

  • Lead the Security Champions Program to build a security-first culture across engineering and IT operations. 

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to development and cross-functional teams, translating security risks into concrete, prioritized actions. 

  • Deliver training on secure coding practices that empowers developers to proactively own security outcomes. 

Your profile 

  • 4+ years of hands-on application security experience, including cloud-based and containerized environments. 

  • Proven experience with secure code reviews and ability to interpret SAST, SCA, and DAST findings and translate them into developer-friendly guidance. 

  • Strong working knowledge of modern CI/CD workflows, including Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions. 

  • Deep familiarity with the OWASP Top 10 for web applications and APIs, and how to apply them in practice. 

  • Hands-on experience with security tooling such as Snyk, Cycode, Apiiro, Burp Suite, or equivalents. 

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes). 

  • Ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly and drive buy-in across engineering levels with minimal supervision. 

  • Strong collaboration skills and a developer-first mindset - you make security easier, not harder. 

Nice to Have 

  • Proficiency in Python, Java, or C#. 

  • Exposure to AI-SBOM and familiarity with AI-SDLC security considerations. 

  • Experience building or scaling a Security Champions program. 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience). 

WHAT WE OFFER:

We are committed to supporting your development, advancing your career, and providing benefits that matter to you.

Our industry-leading Alter Domus Academy offers six learning zones for every stage of your career, with resources tailored to your ambitions and resources from LinkedIn Learning. 

Salary range: We offer a salary of $87,500 to $170,000+ depending on skills and experience.

Our global benefits also include:

  • Support for professional accreditations 
  • Flexible arrangements, generous holidays, plus an additional day off for your birthday!
  • Continuous mentoring along your career progression 
  • Active sports, events and social committees across our offices 
  • 24/7 support available from our Employee Assistance Program 
  • The opportunity to invest in our growth and success through our Employee Share Plan 
  • Plus additional local benefits depending on your location 

Pay Range: The salary for this role is $87,500 to $145,000+ depending on skills and experience.
