At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Application Security & AI Engineering to lead the design, implementation, and transformation of secure software development and AI-enabled applications. This role will drive Secure-by-Design practices, enterprise threat modeling, DevSecOps, AI security, and GenAI governance across cloud-native and digital platforms. The role is grounded in how developers work today: in AI-assisted IDEs and agentic coding workflows, where security must be a native part of the authoring experience rather than a downstream gate.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and execute Application Security and AI Security strategy, architecture standards, and transformation roadmaps.
- Lead Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) and DevSecOps initiatives across product and engineering organizations.
- Govern the use of AI coding assistants and autonomous coding agents across the SSDLC, defining sandboxing, credential scoping, tool-access boundaries, and review standards for AI-authored code.
- Shift security review in-line to the point of authorship, embedding automated and AI-assisted review in the IDE and in pull requests so developers receive high-confidence, fix-ready feedback as they write code.
- Address the risks introduced by AI-generated and prompt-driven development, including code provenance, hallucinated or typosquatted dependencies, and prompt injection reaching agents that hold repository or pipeline access.
- Establish and scale threat modeling programs using STRIDE, PASTA, MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE ATLAS, attack trees, and abuse cases.
- Conduct security architecture reviews and risk assessments for applications, APIs, microservices, cloud services, and AI solutions.
- Design and oversee SAST, DAST, Software Composition Analysis, API Security, Container Security, and Cloud Security capabilities.
- Architect secure AI and GenAI solutions, including LLM applications, copilots, Retrieval-Augmented Generation platforms, and agentic AI systems.
- Develop controls for AI agents, autonomous workflows, model access, prompt security, data protection, guardrails, and responsible AI governance.
- Partner with engineering, product, cloud, data, and cyber teams to embed security throughout the development lifecycle.
- Mentor application security architects, AI engineers, DevSecOps professionals, and security consultants.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in application security, software engineering, cloud security, AI engineering, or cybersecurity.

- Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, APIs, microservices, containers, and AI/GenAI technologies.
- Current, hands-on experience building software with agentic development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, including how to configure and secure them for enterprise use.
- Excellent leadership, executive communication, client-facing, and stakeholder management capabilities.
Preferred Skills & Technologies
- Threat Modeling: STRIDE, PASTA, MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE ATLAS, threat-modeling-as-code, and automated threat modeling integrated into the delivery pipeline.
- Application Security: Semgrep, CodeQL, Snyk, reachability-based software composition analysis, Burp Suite, and the OWASP Top 10 for web, API, and LLM applications.
- Cloud & DevSecOps: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps, with policy-as-code enforcement using OPA or Kyverno.
- AI & GenAI: Azure AI Foundry, OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Agent SDK, and the Model Context Protocol.
- AI-Assisted Development: Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex, including agent rules and context files, Model Context Protocol tooling, agent sandboxing, and in-line security review workflows.
- AI Security: AI threat modeling, red teaming, prompt-injection testing, RAG security, agent security, model risk, guardrails, and responsible AI governance.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Application Engineering Manager
Align your degree to the role
Application Engineering Manager is a specialty occupation only when your degree field directly relates to the technical domain, systems engineering, computer science, electrical engineering. A business degree alone rarely satisfies USCIS requirements for this title, even with years of experience.
Search LCA filings by job title
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up certified LCAs under 'Application Engineer' and 'Engineering Manager' titles. Employers who filed recently are actively sponsoring, which saves you from cold-pitching companies with no H-1B history.
Target employers with cap-exempt status
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated labs are exempt from the H-1B annual cap and lottery. Application Engineering Manager roles exist at all three. Getting hired there means you can start work faster without waiting for an October 1 start date.
Verify prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your location and job title. Use O*NET to confirm the occupational category before your offer conversation, so you know which wage level the employer is locked into.
Get your employer to file on day one
Use Migrate Mate to confirm whether your offer employer has an active LCA filing history for engineering management roles. If they haven't sponsored before, you'll want to start the PERM or H-1B paperwork conversation during the offer stage, not after you've resigned from your current job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Application Engineering Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates specialty occupation status based on whether the role normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field. For Application Engineering Manager, the technical depth of the work, overseeing application design, client integration, or systems deployment, typically satisfies that standard. Roles that are primarily sales or account management with an engineering title can face more scrutiny.
What degree fields support H-1B sponsorship for this role?
Computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, software engineering, and systems engineering are the strongest matches. The degree field must be directly related to the application or technical domain the manager oversees. A general business or management degree is usually not sufficient on its own, though a combined technical degree plus relevant graduate credentials can strengthen the case.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor Application Engineering Manager roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified sponsorship history for engineering and technical management roles, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already navigated the process. It's the fastest way to build a targeted list without sorting through employers who've never filed an LCA.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I'm already in status as an Application Engineering Manager?
Yes. H-1B portability allows you to start with a new employer once the new I-129 petition is filed with USCIS, you don't need to wait for approval before switching. The new employer must file a fresh LCA at the prevailing wage for your new work location, and your job duties must still qualify as a specialty occupation.
Does my employer need to do anything special if the Application Engineering Manager role is fully remote?
Remote work adds a layer to the LCA process. The employer must file a separate LCA or LCA addendum covering each location where you'll work for more than 40 days per year. If you work from a home state that differs from the employer's main office, the prevailing wage used must reflect your actual work location, which DOL enforces through the LCA certification.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Application Engineering Manager jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
