Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.* We are looking for an **Application Security Engineer** to join a greenfield digital news platform build for a major international news brand. Security is not a pre-launch checklist here — it is an engineering requirement embedded across every phase of delivery, from architecture through launch and into multi-year support. You'll be the security authority on a full-lifecycle engagement, validating controls across a composable CMS, video pipeline, advertising integrations, personalisation services, and public-facing APIs — on a platform designed to sustain extreme traffic during breaking-news events. ## ## **What you'll do** - Define and validate application and platform security controls across all delivery phases. - Perform architecture and threat-model reviews at design stage and as the platform evolves. - Review authentication, authorization, and privileged-access controls across CMS, APIs, and integrated services. - Validate API and integration security across a composable, multi-vendor platform architecture. - Review secrets, credentials, and token-management practices across the full stack. - Support vulnerability scanning and penetration-testing activities — coordinating findings and remediation. - Validate encryption and secure data handling across storage, transit, and third-party integrations. - Review security logging, monitoring, and incident-response requirements. - Support GDPR and privacy engineering requirements throughout delivery. - Conduct third-party security assessments for integrated services and vendors. - Provide remediation guidance and produce security acceptance evidence ahead of launch. ## **Basic qualifications** - 5+ years of experience in application security, security engineering, or a closely related role. - Experience performing threat modelling and architecture security reviews on complex, multi-component platforms. - Strong knowledge of authentication and authorization patterns — OAuth, OIDC, RBAC, privileged access management. - Hands-on experience validating API security and reviewing integration patterns across third-party services. - Solid understanding of secrets management, credential handling, and token lifecycle best practices. - Experience supporting or coordinating vulnerability scanning and penetration testing programmes. - Knowledge of encryption standards and secure data handling practices across storage and transit. - Familiarity with GDPR and privacy-by-design engineering requirements. - Ability to produce clear remediation guidance and security acceptance documentation for engineering and delivery teams. ## **Preferred qualifications** - Experience securing composable CMS or media platform architectures — AEM, Amplience, or similar. - Background working on high-traffic, public-facing platforms where availability and security intersect. - Experience with security logging and monitoring tooling — SIEM, alerting, incident response playbooks. - Familiarity with third-party vendor security assessment processes. - Relevant certification — CISSP, OSCP, CEH, or equivalent. - Experience working within a phased, full-lifecycle delivery programme alongside engineering and architecture teams. **When you join Solvd, you'll…** - Shape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation. - Be part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures. - Thrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards. **Ready to make an impact?** If you're excited to build things that matter, champion responsible AI, and grow with some of the industry’s sharpest minds.
