Angi at a glance:
Founded in 1995 as Angie’s List and rebranded in 2021
Global company with 9 brands in 8 countries and employees worldwide
Homeowners have turned to us for 300 million home projects and counting
About the team:
At Angi, security is woven into everything we build, from PCI-scoped payment flows to the AI agents now handling homeowner / pro conversations and scheduling end-to-end. The team is small and the surface is not: cloud infrastructure, applications, and a growing set of agentic AI products. You'll own security architecture and execution across all three.
While this is a remote position, we are a global company and are looking for applicants located in eastern or central time zones to align with our team's working hours.
What you’ll do:
Own security initiatives end to end across cloud infrastructure hardening and application security, including work that spans several sprints and arrives ambiguous.
Own the technical controls that InfoSec retains within compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS (e.g., ASV scanning, network security control reviews, tamper-detection monitoring).
Deploy and tune the infrastructure protecting Angi's applications from exploitation, account takeover, and denial of service.
Drive security architecture and threat modeling for Angi's AI agent products (voice/chat agents with calendar and account access).
Review RFCs, PRDs, and MRs from a security lens, and partner directly with product/engineering teams shipping AI-native features. You will be in the room when these are designed, not brought in after the fact.
Build the tooling and frameworks that make the secure path the easy path for Angi's engineers - paved roads, not policy documents.
Mentor engineers within and across teams, and improve the status quo where you find it - recurring incident patterns, tooling gaps, process debt.
Actively participate in all facets of the incident response lifecycle by participating in a 24/7 on-call rotation.
Continuously evaluate and integrate AI-driven tooling into InfoSec's own workflows. You're expected to use AI coding/security assistants daily, not just secure them for others.
Who you are:
5+ years in security engineering, spanning at least two of: application security, cloud/infrastructure security, or enterprise security.
Hands-on with AWS and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent); comfortable reading and contributing to product service code (Kotlin, NextJS, Python, Ruby, Scala, or Swift are preferred).
Sound build-versus-buy judgment with no allergy to either answer. You reach for what exists when it fits, and you're comfortable wrapping, extending, or replacing it when it doesn't.
Fluent in the OWASP Top 10 and how each is actually remediated, and in the authentication and authorization standards Angi runs on (OAuth, OIDC, SAML).
Some level of exposure to LLM/agentic system security (prompt injection, agent identity, data exfiltration via AI systems).
A daily, fluent user of AI-assisted coding/security tools. You are able to speak concretely about how you direct and verify AI output.
Strong written communication: you'll write threat models and give written feedback on other people's design docs and merge requests regularly.
Comfort executing the technical side of a compliance framework (PCI, SOX, or similar) - vulnerability scanning, control reviews, tamper detection is preferred.
Hands-on experience in the tool categories this work runs through - static analysis (Snyk, Veracode, Fortify), infrastructure vulnerability scanning (Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7), and penetration testing tooling (BurpSuite, OWASP ZAP) is preferred.
Container and Kubernetes experience is preferred.
Compensation & Benefits
The base salary band for this position ranges from $150,000 - $225,000, commensurate with experience and performance. Compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location.
This position will be eligible for a competitive year end performance bonus & equity package.
Full medical, dental, vision package to fit your needs.
Flexible vacation policy; work hard and take time when you need it.
Pet discount plans & retirement plan with company match (401K).
The rare opportunity to work with sharp, motivated teammates solving some of the most unique challenges and changing the world.
We value diversity
We know that the best ideas come from teams where diverse points of view uncover new solutions to hard problems. We welcome and value individuals who bring diverse life experiences, educational backgrounds, cultures, and work experiences.
Our hiring process may utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in candidate screening and assessment. Our AI tools are designed to complement, not replace, human decision-making.

Application Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a application engineer in Colorado?
Most application engineer roles in Colorado require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, or a closely related field. Colorado does not require a state-issued license specifically for the application engineer title, though roles in defense or regulated industries may require security clearance or sector-specific certifications. Employers in the Denver and Colorado Springs markets often prefer candidates with hands-on lab or field experience gained through internships or co-op programs at Colorado engineering programs.
Which companies hire application engineers in Colorado?
Employers hiring application engineers in Colorado right now include BAE Systems USA, True Anomaly, and Gates Corporation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's concentration of defense contractors, aerospace manufacturers, and precision technology firms means hiring activity remains consistent throughout the year across the Front Range corridor.
Which Colorado cities have the most application engineer jobs?
Denver, Aurora, and Golden account for the largest share of application engineer openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the market with its broad industrial and technology base, Colorado Springs draws heavily from defense and aerospace contractors clustered near Peterson Space Force Base and Schriever, while Boulder's research and hardware technology companies contribute a steady share of field application and systems integration roles.
Are there remote application engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused fields. About 100% of application engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's frequent need for on-site customer support, hardware integration, and product demonstrations. Pre-sales support and software-defined application roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility within this job category.
How can I get hired as a application engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is targeting associate application engineer or field applications intern roles at Colorado's established aerospace and defense employers, many of which run structured new-graduate programs. Companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have formal early-career engineering pipelines in the Denver and Colorado Springs areas. Candidates coming from adjacent roles such as test technician, applications technician, or technical sales support are frequently considered. A strong capstone project, senior design portfolio, or completed internship with measurable results gives a clear competitive edge.
Where can I find and apply to application engineer jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to application engineer jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to each one without needing to create a profile or sign up first.
