The Role
You'll own application security across our mobile banking platform, payments stack, and a growing set of regulated products. The work is hands-on, you'll conduct a threat modeling, security reviews, CI/CD tooling - with real process ownership. You'll report to the Group CISO and work closely with both our engineering teams and the Bank IS function.
Responsibilities
Risk-driven security ownership
Identify which systems, data flows, and product changes carry the highest real-world risk and build your work around that, not around tool coverage or compliance checklists
Decide when a security gate is worth slowing down a release and when it isn't, own that call, and be able to explain it to engineering and the CISO
Maintain a risk register for application-layer exposures: what's open, what's accepted, what's being fixed, and why in that order
Secure SDLC
Figure out where in our delivery process security decisions are actually being made and put controls there
Run threat modeling for high-stakes product changes before design is locked, not after
Build a mobile security testing baseline that the team runs themselves
CI/CD and supply chain
Assess what the current pipeline actually catches versus what it produces as noise, and fix the ratio before adding more scanners
Own supply chain posture: dependency pinning, SBOM, internal registry, and the response process when a package gets compromised
Own secrets detection and remediation end-to-end
Regulatory and cross-team work
Translate application security gaps into language that satisfies BSP examiners without over-engineering the evidence
Coordinate security input into new product launches across our Group and Bank structure
Requirements
Experience
7+ years in application security, with meaningful ownership over both technical work and process
Has built or substantially improved a secure SDLC in a fast-moving product org
Has run threat modeling on real product features and influenced design decisions as a result
Has owned vulnerability management end-to-end: triage, remediation tracking, SLA management, risk acceptance
Has done hands-on mobile security testing (iOS and/or Android) in a production context, not just UAT
Understands modern supply chain attack vectors like compromised packages (npm, PyPI), malicious IDE plugins, typosquatting, dependency confusion - and knows how to reduce exposure at the tooling and process level
Comfortable writing Python or Bash to automate repetitive security work
Technical skills
SAST, DAST, SCA in CI/CD pipelines: knows how to tune for signal, not just coverage
API security: authentication flows, token handling, common abuse patterns
Mobile security: OWASP ASVS/MASVS applied in practice
Supply chain: SBOM generation and dependency risk management
Secrets management: detection, remediation, and structural prevention
Working knowledge of AWS and containers sufficient to understand where application risks extend into infrastructure
Nice to have
Experience in a regulated environment (financial services or similar)
Familiarity with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, or BSP MORB
Certifications: OSCP, GWEB, GWAPT, CSSLP
Communication
Strong written English; most day-to-day alignment is async
Can explain a security issue clearly to an engineer and summarize the same issue for a non-technical stakeholder
