The posting

Opportunity

The Lead Application Security Engineer will join Brunswick's Information Security team and play a key role in shaping how the firm embeds security into application design, development, deployment, and technology change.

This is a senior individual contributor role initially, with scope to help establish and mature Brunswick's application security capability over time. The role will focus on providing risk-based security advice and assurance across internally developed applications, enterprise platforms, integrations, cloud services, SaaS solutions, and selected AI-enabled workstreams.

Working closely with ICT, AI Engineering, application owners, and business stakeholders, the Lead Application Security Engineer will help define practical security standards, guardrails, review processes, and secure design patterns that enable delivery teams to move at pace while managing risk appropriately.

About the Role

In this role, you will provide senior application security and DevSecOps expertise across technology projects, design reviews, cloud-based applications, APIs, integrations, delivery pipelines, and selected AI-enabled solutions.

You will act as a senior security advisor to technical and business teams, helping establish a repeatable application security model that can scale as demand grows, including the potential introduction of additional team members in the future.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead the development of Brunswick's application security capability, including standards, secure design patterns, review processes, and practical guardrails.
  • Act as a senior security advisor to ICT, AI Engineering, application owners, and business stakeholders.
  • Review and assess application designs, architecture decisions, APIs, integrations, cloud services, and deployment patterns to identify security risks early in the delivery lifecycle.
  • Mature repeatable approaches for application security reviews, threat modelling, and risk-based assurance across new and changed solutions.
  • Provide guidance and oversight on secure development lifecycle practices, including security requirements, design review, code and security review considerations, dependency management, secrets management, testing, and release assurance.
  • Conduct threat modelling for internally developed applications, AI-enabled workflows, integrations, automation use cases, and higher-risk technology changes, using STRIDE or similar methodologies.
  • Advise on secure design principles, including identity and access management, API security, data protection, encryption, logging, monitoring, resilience, secure configuration, and least privilege.
  • Support security review of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, containerised workloads, and cloud infrastructure, identifying practical controls for engineering and platform teams.
  • Review and assess third-party platforms, SaaS solutions, and new technology features, including AI-enabled tools where there are material application, integration, or data security considerations.
  • Support the development and application of secure patterns and guardrails for emerging technology adoption, including AI-enabled solutions, agents, and automation where relevant.
  • Support security assurance activities, including penetration testing, application security testing, remediation tracking, and ensuring appropriate logging, monitoring, and response considerations are built into new solutions.
  • Define and document security requirements, architecture decisions, design recommendations, and risk-based remediation actions.
  • Support the future growth of the application security function, including helping define ways of working, capability needs, and technical guidance for future team members as the function matures.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced, technically capable security professional who can lead and mature an application security capability while remaining pragmatic, hands-on, and delivery-focused.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

  • 7+ years' experience in cyber security, application security, DevSecOps, cloud security, security architecture, security engineering, or a related technical security role.
  • Strong understanding of risk management and compensative controls.
  • Experience operating as a senior technical advisor or lead within application security, DevSecOps, cloud security, secure engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Proven experience working alongside software engineering, DevOps, platform, cloud, or ICT teams to secure applications and infrastructure throughout the delivery lifecycle.
  • Strong understanding of secure development lifecycle and application security practices, including threat modelling, secure design, API security, authentication and authorisation, secrets management, dependency management, security testing, and remediation planning.
  • Practical experience reviewing application architectures, APIs, integrations, cloud services, CI/CD pipelines, containerised workloads, or infrastructure as code.
  • Practical understanding of Microsoft 365, Azure, SaaS platforms, and Azure application security controls such as Entra ID, managed identities, Key Vault, API Management, container security, logging, monitoring, and secure configuration.
  • Experience conducting STRIDE-based threat modelling, technical risk assessments, application security reviews, or security design reviews.
  • Experience developing security standards, secure design patterns, review processes, or guardrails that can be adopted by engineering and delivery teams.
  • Ability to translate technical security risks into clear, business-focused recommendations and influence delivery teams without directly owning implementation.
  • Familiarity with AI-related technologies, large language models, AI-enabled applications, and associated risks such as data exposure, prompt injection, insecure integrations, and excessive agent permissions would be beneficial.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, attention to detail, and the ability to balance security requirements with business needs.
  • Experience working in an ISO27001-aligned or regulated environment would be beneficial.
  • Preferred, but not essential, certifications:
  • ISC2: CISSP, CCSP, SSCP, CSSLP
  • ISACA: CISM, CISA, CRISC
  • CompTIA: Security+, CySA+, CASP+
  • GIAC, Microsoft Azure, or other relevant application security, cloud security, architecture, or DevSecOps certifications
