What a Security Engineer does on a dedicated cybersecurity team.

They work in your repositories, pull requests and cloud accounts, alongside your own developers, and take security work through your normal backlog so fixes ship with features.

Security Engineer skills and technologies

  • Threat modelling new features with your own developers before the code is written.

  • Secure code review on pull requests, with each fix explained so the same flaw doesn't come back.

  • Hardening authentication, sessions and access control against the OWASP Top 10 risks.

  • Triaging scanner findings down to the ones that matter, then fixing them in priority order.

  • Keeping security logging and audit trails in place, so an incident can be traced afterwards.

Security Engineer seniority levels.

Mid-level to senior. Security calls are judgement calls, so the more of your product's risk sits with this role, the more seniority pays off. Seniority is one of the inputs into how the monthly fee is built.

When your team needs a Security Engineer.

Often the first security role a team adds, once customers start sending security questionnaires or an audit is on the way. Pairs with a DevSecOps engineer when the pipeline needs the same attention. Security engineers join as part of a dedicated cybersecurity team. Companies that hire software developers through us often add a security engineer once the product starts handling sensitive data.

What we look for in a dedicated Security Engineer.

We look for security engineers who read code as fluently as a developer and explain a vulnerability without drama. Certifications such as OSCP count, but we test for judgement: given ten findings, which three matter for this product and why.

Questions about adding a Security Engineer to your team.

Does a security engineer replace our penetration tests?

No, they make each test more useful. A security engineer fixes the classes of weakness a test keeps finding, so the next report covers new ground. External tests that your customers or auditors require still happen, and our engineer prepares for them and closes the findings.

Will a security engineer slow our releases down?

The aim is the opposite. Security checks are agreed with your team, run automatically where they can, and block a release only for issues you have decided are serious. Findings arrive in your backlog with a fix proposed, so the work fits your sprint instead of stopping it.
