About the Role
Our team is growing and we're hiring a Senior Application Security Engineer to join our engineering team and enable our next phase of growth. Canary's engineering team is fully remote!
 
This role focuses on embedding security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and partnering with developers to make secure design the default. You will own the strategy for application security tooling, automation, and developer enablement while collaborating closely with SREs, infra, and data engineers to keep our platform both secure and scalable.
  • Define and enforce best practices for secure coding, dependency management, and design reviews across engineering teams.
  • Integrate and manage SAST, DAST, and SCA tools within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).
  • Partner with developers on new features and systems to identify risks early in the lifecycle.
  • Implement best practices for secrets handling, API authentication/authorization, and data protection.
  • Build security guidelines, training, and reusable libraries/patterns so that teams can ship secure code faster.
  • Triage and prioritize findings from bug bounties, penetration tests, and automated scans, ensuring timely resolution.
  • Act as the bridge between application developers and platform engineers to align app security with infra and compliance requirements.
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and remediation for security incidents across our platform.
  • Scan and remediate vulnerabilities in container images, OS packages, dependencies, and IaC templates.
  • Design and maintain least-privilege IAM roles, secrets management, and authentication flows.
  • Automate evidence gathering and control enforcement for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and others.
  • 6+ years in security engineering, DevSecOps, or related roles, including experience at scale.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Strong experience integrating security into modern SDLC pipelines.
  • Hands-on with AppSec tooling (Snyk, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, SonarQube, Checkmarx, etc.).
  • Solid understanding of web app security (OWASP Top 10, API security, auth flows, input validation).
  • Familiarity with AWS/Kubernetes security.
  • Strong programming skills (Python, Go, or JavaScript) to build tools, write secure code, and contribute to developer libraries.
  • Proven track record in partnering with product and engineering teams to drive security adoption without slowing down velocity.
  • Strong AWS security skills (IAM, KMS, Security Hub, GuardDuty, WAF).
  • Experience with Kubernetes security (RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper, network policies).
  • Hands-on with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps practices.
  • Familiarity with security tooling (Trivy, Falco, Snyk, Aqua).
  • Knowledge of networking, encryption, and cloud-native security best practices.
