Product Application Security Analyst - #2110701

You'll act as a trusted security advisor to engineering communities across the entire product lifecycle. This is a non-hands-on, advisory and governance-focused role designed to embed "security-by-design" into modern monolithic and microservice application architectures. You'll lead threat modelling, conduct technical risk assessments, evaluate third-party SaaS vendors, and translate complex risk into pragmatic guidance for engineering squads and business stakeholders.

Partnering with a major UK enterprise digital platform to bring in a Senior InfoSec Analyst into their Product Assurance team.

This isn't a checkbox compliance job, nor is it an operational 2nd-line ticket handling role. You'll sit right alongside software delivery squads and product teams, acting as the technical security authority across monolithic and microservice application architectures.

• Risk & Advisory: Conducting technical risk assessments on internal products and third-party SaaS vendors, turning technical flaws into clear risk recommendations

• Experience: 6+ years in InfoSec, cybersecurity advisory, or application security
