Application Security Manager
About The Position
As an Application Security Manager, you will be a hands-on individual contributor responsible for embedding security directly into Workleap's products, pipelines, and development workflows. This is a deeply technical role where you will write code, build tooling, and work closely with developers to ensure security is a natural part of how software is built and shipped. You will join the AI-SDLC team, which builds internal platforms and tooling that enable AI agents to operate across the development lifecycle. Your mission will be to ensure that security is integrated from the ground up across these tools, pipelines, and agentic workflows—enabling secure-by-default product development at scale.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in application security, DevSecOps, or security-focused software development
- Strong software engineering background combined with deep security expertise
- Deep understanding of web application security principles, OWASP Top 10, and CWE Top 25
- Hands-on experience performing secure code reviews in C#
- Experience building and maintaining security automation in CI/CD pipelines
- Solid understanding of Azure cloud services, infrastructure security, and deployment patterns
- Experience integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, and secret scanning tools into development workflows
- Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash) for automation and tooling
- Extensive hands-on experience with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, with deep expertise in their security implications; recognized for major contributions in this space and driven by strong curiosity to push the boundaries of AI in the SDLC
- Familiarity with authentication protocols such as OIDC, SAML, and OAuth
- Ability to clearly communicate security risks and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
