Lead Application Security Engineer

Application security sits at the center of how CAIS earns and keeps the trust of the advisors and asset managers who rely on our platform. As our lead for application security, you will own how we protect the applications and services we build and embedding security into the heart of how we design, write, and ship software.

You will define and drive our approach to secure development: setting threat modeling strategy, owning security architecture and secure code reviews, and designing the controls that live inside our SDLC. Just as importantly, you will use automation and AI to scale that work, turning security from a manual checkpoint into something engineers experience as fast, clear, and genuinely useful.

We are looking for a hands-on technical leader who is as comfortable reading production code as setting strategy. You are someone who enjoys partnering with engineers and product owners; you are eager to experiment with new technologies to raise our security bar across the stack, and you are easy to do business with. You see a growing security practice not as a constraint to enforce but as a capability to build, one that helps us ship reliable products, grow as engineers, and have some fun along the way.
