Through compassionate, individualized care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.
While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you.
Role Overview
As our Staff Application Security Engineer, you will be the primary owner and driver of our application security program. You'll work hands-on with engineering teams to embed secure development practices, improve tooling and automation, and guide security considerations for new features, architectures, and services.
This is a high-impact role where you'll shape the future of AppSec at a company that values security as a core part of product quality.
What You'll Do
Application Security Ownership
- Lead and evolve the company's application security strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day operations.
- Serve as the primary AppSec partner for numerous dev teams working on Ruby on Rails web apps, React Native mobile apps, and various other projects including Python and Go.
- Provide security guidance during design, development, and code review for new features and projects.
- Drive adoption of secure coding practices and threat-modeling across engineering teams.
Tooling & Automation
- Manage and optimize existing AppSec tooling, including:
- GitHub Advanced Security (SAST, SCA, Secret Scanning)
- Invicti (DAST)
- Hadrian (ASM)
- AppDome (mobile application security)
- Cloudflare WAF
- Improve automation and integration of security tools into CI/CD pipelines.
- Identify and implement additional tools or processes to strengthen the security posture.
Secure SDLC & Developer Enablement
- Build and maintain secure development standards, playbooks, and training materials.
- Partner with engineering teams during sprint planning and feature design to proactively address risks.
- Conduct security reviews, code assessments, and vulnerability triage with development teams.
Cloud & DevOps Collaboration
- Work with DevOps to ensure secure AWS infrastructure deployments and configurations.
- Contribute to hardening efforts across ECS, IAM, networking, and supporting cloud services.
- Assist in designing and maintaining secure CI/CD workflows.
Incident & Vulnerability Management
- Lead or support investigation and remediation of application-level vulnerabilities.
- Monitor, prioritize, and track findings from SAST/DAST/ASM tools.
- Collaborate with engineering to ensure timely and effective remediation.
What We're Looking For
Required Skills & Experience
- 8+ years of experience in Application Security, Product Security, or related engineering roles.
- Strong understanding of secure coding practices, common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), and modern SDLC.
- Experience working with cloud-native applications, ideally in AWS.
- Understanding of SSL certificates & cryptographic key management.
- Hands-on experience with SAST, DAST, WAFs, and/or mobile application security tools.
- Ability to partner effectively with developers and influence secure design decisions.
- Familiarity with GitHub-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
Nice to Have
- Development experience with Ruby on Rails or similar dynamic languages.
- Knowledge of AWS ECS/EKS, container security, secrets management and infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation, Terraform).
- Experience building or maturing an AppSec program from early stages.
- SOAR Automation & Scripting experience.
- Experience working in a PCI-compliant environment working with annual reporting needs.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate measures success by reduced risk, not tickets closed, and reaches for secure design and simple guardrails before another scanner or gate. They think like an attacker but bring a developer mindset to their partnership with engineering, connecting the dots across application code, cloud infrastructure, and the pipeline rather than treating each as a separate domain. Engineers trust their technical judgment beyond the systems they personally own: they catch a bad design before it ships even when it isn't theirs, and they see a blocker coming early enough to design around it instead of just navigating it well after the fact.

Tips for Your Remote Application Security Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote application security engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through unfiltered postings from multiple sources.
Show async security communication in your portfolio
Remote application security engineers document findings, threat models, and remediation guidance in writing. Include sanitized vulnerability reports, secure design reviews, or written security advisories in your portfolio to show you can communicate risk clearly without a meeting.
Highlight remote-relevant security tooling experience
Remote teams rely on integrated tooling more than in-person coordination. Call out hands-on experience with SAST platforms like Semgrep or Checkmarx, DAST tools like Burp Suite, and CI/CD pipeline security integrations, since these signal you can operate independently within a distributed engineering workflow.
Prepare for asynchronous technical interviews
Many remote application security teams screen candidates through take-home code review exercises or written threat modeling scenarios before any live call. Practice producing clear written analysis of vulnerable code samples and articulating your reasoning, since that format mirrors how the actual remote role operates day to day.
Remote Application Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote application security engineer job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed engineering teams that already operate asynchronously, since those employers are best equipped to onboard and manage remote security engineers. Remote hiring managers screen heavily for written communication, self-direction, and the ability to run threat modeling or code review cycles without daily in-person check-ins. Strong candidates demonstrate hands-on skills in SAST, DAST, secure SDLC practices, and cloud-native security tooling, and can articulate findings clearly in written reports.
Which companies hire remote application security engineers?
Companies hiring remote application security engineers right now include AbbVie, Zeta Global, and CVS Health, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote-first software firms, distributed fintech platforms, and healthcare technology companies make up a large share of these openings, since their fully distributed engineering teams require dedicated application security support regardless of physical location.
Can you get a remote application security engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level application security roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without in-office mentorship. Your best paths are bug bounty participation, open-source security contributions, and home lab projects demonstrating OWASP testing or secure code review. Remote-first startups and mid-size SaaS companies occasionally hire junior application security engineers who can show real hands-on output rather than just credentials.
Do you need a degree for remote application security engineer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in application security weigh demonstrated skills heavily, particularly proficiency in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing tools, and secure development practices. Certifications like OSCP, CEH, or vendor-specific cloud security credentials carry real weight. A portfolio of captured vulnerabilities, CTF results, or contributions to security tooling can substitute for a formal degree at many remote-first companies.
Which industries hire the most remote application security engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote application security engineers are Technology & Software, Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These industries rely on distributed engineering teams building customer-facing software and handling sensitive data, which creates sustained demand for application security engineers who can work remotely across the full development lifecycle.
