Senior Application Security Engineer
Security Platform - Remote UK
£90,000 - £130,000 DOE + Equity
The problem worth solving
Most attacks don't start with someone breaking down the front door. They start with something that was already let in - a dependency, a package, a library that looked legitimate. The software your engineers are building right now is only as secure as everything it quietly pulls in from the outside world. That's a hard problem. AI is making it exponentially harder.
Regulators are paying attention. Enterprise security teams are scrambling. The companies building the infrastructure to get ahead of this are the ones that matter right now.
What the role involves
- Threat modelling and secure design reviews embedded with engineering teams from day one
- Security code reviews and building the culture for engineers to do the same
- Owning SAST, DAST and SCA tooling - writing automation, not just running products
- Hardening APIs, containers, IaC and CI/CD pipelines across a cloud-native stack
- Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments across services and infrastructure
- Technical lead during incident response and red/blue exercises
- Building security tooling from scratch - production quality, not proof of concept
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years AppSec - the depth of experience matters more than the path you took to get here
- Strong enough with code to hold your own in design reviews, architecture conversations and secure code reviews with senior engineers - you don't need to have been a software engineer but you need to think like one
- Strong AWS security experience - the entire platform runs on it
- Hands-on with security tooling - depth matters more than which products
- Low ego, collaborative, built for a small tight-knit team
- A hacker at heart - CTFs, bug bounty, home labs are all green flags
