About the Role

This is the first engineering hire into Rightmove's growing Application Security function, reporting to the Lead Application Security Engineer. You will work closely with engineering teams to deliver day-to-day AppSec capabilities across security tooling, vulnerability management, secure design, and threat modeling, while helping shape how Application Security operates as the function matures.

Responsibilities

Support the rollout and operation of application security tooling across engineering repositories, including SAST, SCA and secrets detection.
Triage and classify security findings across repos, driving remediation of the secrets backlog.
Manage the day-to-day operation of vulnerability management, including findings triage, monitoring, and engineering engagement.
Maintain engineer-facing guidance for resolving vulnerabilities and requesting exceptions.
Support cloud security posture management through Prisma Cloud, including findings triage, monitoring, and engagement with relevant engineering/platform teams.
Run a risk-tiered engagement cadence with engineering teams based on SLA compliance.
Triage inbound security requests per the AppSec triage SLA.
Conduct secure design and API security reviews for new services, integrations, and RFCs.
Review and respond to penetration test requests and third-party integration reviews.
Facilitate threat modelling sessions using the team's runbook/guide.
Work with engineering teams to establish and improve threat modelling practices across squads.
Maintain runbooks and process documentation as the function matures.
Support recurring review cadences (e.g., access reviews, vulnerability audits).

Requirements

Practical experience in application security, security engineering, or a related hands-on security role.
Able to assess security findings in context, distinguish meaningful risk from tooling noise, and make pragmatic recommendations to engineering teams.
Working proficiency in Python (able to read, modify, and write scripts used for internal tooling).
Practical experience with DAST/SAST/SCA/secrets scanning tools (Aikido, Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx, or similar).
Experience with Prisma Cloud or a comparable cloud-native security platform.
Comfortable reading code and understanding CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI or equivalent).
Experience running or contributing to threat modelling exercises.
Comfortable running recurring stakeholder syncs with engineering teams.
Strong written communication.
Able to triage and prioritise a high volume of inbound requests independently.
Exposure to GCP security controls.
Familiarity with supply-chain security (npm/PyPI dependency risks).
Prior experience in a scaling/greenfield security function.
