Cogent Security Senior Security Engineer, Product Security at Cogent Security to embed security into the software development lifecycle and own application security testing. Focus on securing dependencies, supply chain, and building security tooling.

Responsibilities

We're hiring a Senior Security Engineer, Product Security to own the security of the software we build. You'll partner closely with engineering to embed security into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), keep our dependencies and supply chain safe, and make sure the product our customers trust is built on a secure foundation. You’ll also have the chance to influence our product, as an internal SME and early security user, your feedback loop directly shapes what we ship.
Embed security into the software development lifecycle: threat modeling, secure design reviews, and secure-coding guidance that engineers actually adopt
Own application security testing - code review, SAST/DAST, and triage - and drive issues to remediation rather than just filing them
Harden our software supply chain: dependency verification, safe dependency management, and CI/CD pipeline security
Build and automate security tooling and guardrails so security scales with engineering, not against it
Serve as the internal security SME on product and workflow decisions, and as an early user of what we build
Partner across all teams on architecture and design so security is a default, not an afterthought
