Application Security Engineer

Cytix - Manchester - Global - Engineering & Technical

We're looking for a Application Security Engineer to join our Manchester-based application security business as a member of the AppSec Engineering team

(Open to people who can make it to our office twice a month or remote)

Cytix is a platform that threat models development tickets and creates security testing plans that include both manual and automated testing.

In this role, you won't be confined to traditional 4+1 web applications. We're breaking away from the constraints of CHECK or CE+ standards, and we're not interested in producing lengthy PDF reports.
Instead, our focus is on seamlessly integrating continuous penetration testing into our customers' Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Collaborating closely with both our in-house development team and clients, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of our products and services, helping to deliver the next generation of continuous penetration testing.


Having recently secured Series A funding this opportunity is genuinely one-of-a-kind for the right individual!

 

What you'll do

Operating as a Security Consultant specialising in Application Security (AppSec) Testing.

 

  • Penetration Testing web applications, APIs, mobile applications, etc for our clients across a range of industries.

  • Working with stakeholders of both a technical and non-technical nature to assist in vulnerability identification and remediations.

  • Performing risk reviews of application changes as part of our continuous security testing process.

  • You will collaborate closely with developers and other teams to strengthen application security, drive continuous improvement, and enhance organisational resilience to cybersecurity threats

What you'll bring

  • 2+ years in Penetration Testing, Application Security Engineering, or a similar offensive security role.
