Job Overview :

As a Senior Application Security Engineer at Spring Financial, you will lead technical efforts to secure the software systems that power our business. You are responsible for driving security best practices across our engineering organization embedding secure development into how we design, build, and deploy software.

Youll work closely with product engineering, DevOps, platform, and compliance teams to identify risks, implement controls, and help teams ship secure, reliable features. You bring hands-on expertise in secure coding, threat modeling, and modern appsec tooling, along with the communication skills to influence cross-functional teams.

This is primarily an individual contributor (IC) role, but may include leading a small team of engineers or acting as the technical owner for application security across the organization. You are expected to lead by example through strong technical execution, collaborative problem-solving, and a practical, risk-aware approach to security.

Youll play a critical role in scaling our secure development lifecycle, supporting audit and compliance needs (e.g. SOC 2), and ensuring Springs applications can evolve quickly without compromising trust.

What youll do :

• Own Springs application security strategy and roadmap aligning initiatives with risk priorities, business needs, and platform evolution.
• Lead the definition and rollout of secure development practices (e.g., threat modeling, secure code review, dependency management, static / dynamic analysis).
• Partner with engineering teams to identify and remediate security risks across applications, services, APIs, and cloud environments.
• Define and manage Springs SDL (Secure Development Lifecycle), embedding security reviews, tooling, and guardrails into CI / CD workflows.
• Support Springs compliance posture, including SOC 2 readiness, audit participation, and evidence gathering for application-level controls.
• Own or contribute to incident response efforts for application-related vulnerabilities or exposures.
• Evaluate and implement security tools and services (e.g., SAST, DAST, SBOM, secrets scanning, WAF, CSPM) that improve detection and resilience.
• Collaborate with platform, DevOps, and IT teams on access control, secret management, and zero-trust enforcement.
• Mentor and grow the appsec team, supporting both technical depth and cross-functional influence.
• Support audit and compliance efforts by providing evidence, documentation, and system-level controls related to application security.
• Act as a subject matter expert for product and engineering teams on secure architecture, data protection, and third-party risk.
• Track and communicate security posture through clear metrics, risk registers, and executive-level reporting.
