The Senior Application Security Manager will operate as a senior technical leader and coach, partnering closely with engineering, product management, DevOps, quality engineering, corporate security, and privacy stakeholders.

  • Lead and scale the application security program across products, embedding secure-by-design and shift-left practices throughout the SDLC.
  • Manage, mentor, and set direction for the AppSec team, including priorities, goals, and operating cadence.
  • Act as a senior technical authority on secure architecture, coding, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and remediation.
  • Define and drive the roadmap for AppSec tooling and automation, including implementation, adoption, and optimization.
  • Integrate security controls into engineering workflows, CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, and release processes.
  • Oversee penetration testing programs, validate findings, and ensure timely, accountable remediation.
  • Develop and report on AppSec metrics, dashboards, and executive-level insights on risk and program maturity.
  • Promote security awareness through training, guidance, and active engagement with engineering and product teams.
  • Support incident response and investigations, providing leadership on containment, root cause, and corrective actions.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally and act as a player-coach, influencing leaders while balancing strategic direction with hands-on execution and staying current on emerging threats.
  • Other duties as assigned and required.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in application security, product security, or software security, including 2+ years leading and developing a team.
  • 3+ years of prior software development, software quality, DevOps, security engineering, penetration testing, or similarly technical experience that enables credible partnership with engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated experience leading or scaling an application security program in a product or software-driven environment.
  • Deep working knowledge of secure SDLC practices, vulnerability management, threat modeling, code review concepts, application security testing methodologies, and remediation prioritization.
  • Experience implementing and operating AppSec tools such as SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, container or IaC scanning, API security tooling, or related developer-facing security platforms.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present security tradeoffs and program metrics to technical teams, senior leadership, and external partners.
  • Experience with common security, privacy, and compliance frameworks relevant to software products, such as OWASP guidance, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or similar standards.
  • Experience evaluating or applying generative AI in the context of AppSec, secure development, security review, developer enablement, or vulnerability analysis.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience leading AppSec in multi-product SaaS or highly regulated environments, with strong exposure to customer and third-party security assessments.
  • Hands-on expertise in cloud-native and API security, CI/CD tooling, and integrating security into developer workflows.
  • Proven ability to build security metrics, governance, and executive reporting, supported by relevant industry certifications (e.g., CISSP, CSSLP, CISM, CCSP).
