Application Security Engineer

New Yesterday

Join to apply for the Application Security Engineer role at Motability Operations Ltd. About The Role Reporting to the Application Security Team Lead, this role provides product security expertise to digital product and engineering teams as part of the Cyber Security function. This is a hands‑on engineering position – not just advisory. You’ll actively contribute to code, set up and integrate security tooling, respond to product‑related security incidents, and work directly on solutions. The aim is to take as much of the security burden off product and engineering teams as possible, while embedding best practices throughout. You’ll be integrated into multiple engineering squads, acting as their dedicated security expert and trusted partner. Day to day, that means building strong relationships with stakeholders, demonstrating the value of security, and influencing positive outcomes – all while enabling teams to move quickly and deliver safely. Beyond supporting individual products, you’ll also play a pivotal role in raising our overall software security maturity – helping to shape governance, champion secure development practices, and drive Motability Operations toward operational excellence in application security. About You You are passionate about the technical security aspects of application development, with a focus on protecting customer data and driving high standards of engineering. You’ll bring a background in hands‑on secure software development or application security testing, along with proven experience working directly with development teams on security‑related topics. Strong communication skills are essential: you need to influence engineers and stakeholders at all levels while building trusted partnerships. You understand the importance of “shifting left” in secure development, helping teams get early security feedback through the right practices and tooling. You’ll also have a solid grasp of modern software delivery approaches, including agile, and experience with technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, React, and Node. Familiarity with infrastructure‑as‑code and cloud platforms like AWS is also important. A strong working knowledge of the OWASP Top Ten, common application security frameworks and best practices, and threat‑modelling techniques is critical. Hands‑on experience with application security tooling and the ability to apply it effectively in engineering contexts will set you up for success. Minimum Criteria
Experience in a hands‑on Cyber Security focused role, primarily in the application security domain. Strong hands‑on application development experience. A demonstratable level of cyber security knowledge and its application within a development environment would be considered.
