Senior Application Security Engineer We are hiring a Senior Application Security Engineer to own application security across Product Engineering and make Treatwell's products secure by default. You own the security tooling, from SAST in the pipelines to DefectDojo, you are the first call when an application-layer incident needs a security engineer, and you work hands-on with the teams that build our products: pairing with their engineers to fix what the scanners, the annual pentest and real incidents find, closing the design gaps behind them, and sometimes picking up a specific security epic for a product such as Connect or Salonized. You will write code, read a great deal more of it, and own the security tooling in our pipelines. Our applications are Java and Spring Boot across Marketplace and Payments, Ruby on Rails in our SaaS products, React and TypeScript on the web, native iOS and Android apps in Swift and Kotlin, and a small amount of PHP. Marketplace and Connect ship through GitLab CI and ArgoCD onto Kubernetes (EKS) in AWS; Salonized ships through GitHub Actions. Everything is monitored in Datadog, and findings from secrets detection, dependency scanning and SAST flow into a self-hosted DefectDojo. This is application security, not infrastructure security: cloud, Kubernetes and network controls sit with our Developer Experience and Platform Core teams, and you work alongside them. You report to the Head of Developer Experience and set your own security roadmap with the Heads of Engineering, aligned to the OWASP ASVS and the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model. We have no CISO: you present the security posture to the CTO and VP of Engineering on a fixed cadence, and your view carries weight because it comes from the code. The security tooling,



the findings pipeline and application-layer incident support are yours across all of Product Engineering. When a product needs focused work, such as a security epic for Connect or Salonized, you pick it up with that team, agreed with its Head of Engineering. Infrastructure security stays with Developer Experience and Platform Core. The default is a secure path that is quicker to use than to bypass: shared libraries, pipeline templates, pre-commit checks. There is no parallel security process. You work with each team's Security Champion and the Security Champions guild. You keep a short Now/Next/Later for security, agreed each quarter with the Heads of Engineering, separate from the DevX roadmap. You present the security posture per area to the CTO and VP of Engineering on a fixed cadence, measured against the DevSecOps Maturity Model. Owning application security across Product Engineering and working hands-on with the teams to remediate vulnerabilities in our codebases, from authentication and session handling to payments flows and public APIs, including specific security epics for a product such as Connect or Salonized. Owning the security tooling across all areas (secrets detection, dependency scanning, SAST, DefectDojo, threat modelling) and landing SAST in our pipelines: completing the proof of concept with the SAST vendors we are evaluating on two pilot teams, the Marketplace Checkout and Identity team and a SaaS team,



tuning rules until engineers trust the output, and feeding every finding into DefectDojo rather than a new dashboard. Building secure defaults into the paved road so the secure way is the easy way: authentication and session libraries, input validation, secrets handling, dependency and container checks in the pipeline templates teams already use. Running threat modelling with teams before the work is fully scoped, using and improving our AI-based threat modeller so that it answers an engineer's question plainly and produces backlog items with owners and dates. Triaging findings from scanners, the annual penetration test and external reports, agreeing severity and ownership with the team, and tracking them to closure in DefectDojo against our severity SLAs. Being the first security call for application-layer incidents across Product Engineering: leading the technical side, assessing with Legal whether personal data was exposed, writing the postmortem actions, and working with Customer Support and Payments on fraud and customer-flagged cases including phishing. Owning our security vendor relationships: the annual penetration-test cycle with our testing partner (scoping, scheduling, remediation planning), the responsible-disclosure programme and the security@ inbox, and the SAST vendor once selected. Acting as the security reviewer in our third-party risk process for new vendors and integrations, and answering the security questionnaires our partners send us. Measuring the security posture per area against the DevSecOps Maturity Model and presenting it to the CTO and VP of Engineering on a fixed cadence.
