Staff Security Engineer
Information Security · Senior Individual Contributor
We are a SaaS and on-premises software company with four decades of product history and a customer base that spans regulated industries globally.
We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer who will own the day-to-day execution of our security programme across three domains: Application Security, Vulnerability Management, and Governance & Compliance. This is a senior individual contributor role — you will set the pace, shape the practices, and be the person engineering teams turn to when they need security embedded into how they build. If you are the kind of person who finds building the programme from a mandate more satisfying
Key Responsibilities
Application Security
Lead threat modelling and security design reviews across new and existing products
Define and enforce security gates within CI/CD pipelines
Conduct code and architecture reviews and deliver written findings to engineering teams
Build and maintain developer security guidance, secure coding standards, and SDLC integration practices
Vulnerability Management
Own scanner configuration, tuning, and operational management (Qualys or equivalent)
Triage and prioritise vulnerability findings across all products and infrastructure
Define and enforce remediation SLAs in collaboration with engineering leads
Maintain vulnerability metrics, dashboards, and executive-level reporting
Escalate unresolved or high-risk findings with clear business impact framing
Governance & Compliance
Drive evidence collection and gap closure for ISO 27001, NIS2, and EU CRA
Coordinate with internal and external auditors through audit cycles
Respond to enterprise customer security questionnaires and due diligence requests
Maintain compliance programme tracking against regulatory deadlines
Contribute to security policies and standards where they directly support programme delivery
Cross-Functional & Programme
Coordinate work across contractors, interns, and engineering teams with clear written assignments and acceptance criteria
Represent security in product and engineering forums — without requiring management escalation for routine decisions
Identify and flag risk proactively; escalate with proposed mitigations, not just problems
Contribute to the security roadmap and milestone planning in partnership with the Head of Information Security
What We Are Looking For
10+ years of experience in security engineering or architecture
Demonstrated ownership of vulnerability management or application security programs (end‑to‑end accountability, not partial contribution)
Ability to make independent, defensible risk decisions
Strong written communication skills, including clear work instructions for others
Experience representing security to engineering leadership and external auditors
Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning tools (Qualys or equivalent)
Practical knowledge of integrating security into the SDLC
Working understanding of multiple compliance frameworks across different markets
Proven ability to plan work, delegate clearly, and drive outcomes (not just activity)
High autonomy—does not require step‑by‑step direction
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where none exists
Good to Have:
Familiarity with Prisma Cloud, GitHub Advanced Security, or SBOM tooling
Experience with ISO, EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), NIS2, or equivalent product security regulations
