Backbase
Senior Application Security Engineer
No day at Backbase is the same, and even more so for our security engineers. We all know that security and banking need to go hand in hand and with hackers and tech evolving by the day, you’ll need to stay on your toes and ahead of the game.
Your core responsibility is to guide and support the developer teams in delivering and deploying secure banking solutions. You will analyze the software from a security perspective and identify and resolve security issues. You provide guidance and workshops to developers and QA engineers on secure coding, security testing and working with security tools. Your input helps to improve security in the SDLC with its tools and processes. You validate that application security requirements have been met. You perform security code reviews and suggest improvements to development teams. You will work closely with the customer-facing development teams and operations teams. You mentor new team members and act as the go-to person for security in your area.
What you'll do
Looking for a journey instead of a job? Then let’s talk! We are THE pioneers in banking tech. We see opportunities and take the leap. Having the guts to push limits and break barriers to make things happen. We learn and reinvent ourselves for maximum impact, never giving up. We are creators, with a customer-centric mindset that love what they do and bring fun to any challenge. Together we kick ass, have fun and feel proud when our vision is delivered. Next day - we wake up and raise the bar a little higher. Are you ready?
As a Senior Application Security Engineer you’ll be part of the team of security engineers working to ensure we build, maintain and deploy secure software that is used by millions of users around the globe.
