This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer based in India. This is a senior individual contributor role embedded directly within product engineering and focused on strengthening security throughout the software development lifecycle. You will help secure enterprise products that are deployed across customer-managed environments as well as hosted offerings. The role combines threat modeling, secure coding, vulnerability management, security testing, and software supply-chain security. You will work directly with engineers and product leaders to identify risks early and turn security requirements into practical, scalable solutions. Your work will influence what gets designed, developed, tested, released, and ultimately deployed by customers. The environment is technically hands-on, globally distributed, and focused on measurable security improvements rather than simply identifying issues. This is an opportunity to shape application security practices across multiple product lines while remaining close to production code and engineering teams.
