Principal Appsec Engineer
Super Technologies is seeking a Principal AppSec Engineer to own the team's deep offensive capability. This role is responsible for preventing vulnerabilities before code ships, absorbing on-demand security-testing load, and making security testing part of everything that reaches production.
The Principal AppSec Engineer will report to the Product Security Lead and will set the bar for pentest quality that engineers execute against. The role involves running adversary emulation and bypass testing against production systems and providing the technical depth behind the team's hardest architecture reviews.
- Run adversary emulation and bypass testing against production systems to identify exploitable weaknesses.
- Own the standardised pentest playbooks used for urgent "launching next week" requests and personally handle the highest-complexity engagements.
- Lead in-depth architecture and design reviews for high-risk features, threat-modelling before code is written and producing security requirements and sign-off.
- Mature and scale AI-assisted pentest tooling (e.g. NEO, regression code scanning) to increase testing coverage.
- Mentor less experienced AppSec engineers in pentest methodology and adversarial thinking.
- Feed confirmed bypass and pentest findings to Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting so each becomes a shipped detection.
- Contribute to the vendor security testing element of the shared vendor intake process for high-risk vendors.
- 6+ years' experience in offensive security - pentesting, red teaming, or adversary emulation - ideally including production/live-environment experience (required).
- Strong architecture review skills, with the ability to threat-model a system from a design document rather than only testing a finished build (required).
- Familiarity with the modern AppSec tooling landscape (SAST/DAST, AI-assisted pentest tools) (required).
- Comfortable acting as the technical escalation point for the team's hardest problems (required).
- Experience running or contributing to bug bounty triage or vulnerability-disclosure programmes (nice-to-have).
- Medical / Health Insurance
- Open Annual Leave
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Training & Learning Development
