Senior Application Security Engineer - Product Security & DevSecOps

About the role

About Us

Duco is on a mission to reduce the time spent on data-related work by 90%. Our enterprise data automation platform empowers teams to work more efficiently and meaningfully by giving them the ability to automate data controls with the latest technology, such as no-code, the cloud, and AI.

We help firms to start trusting their data, by giving them one intuitive platform to automate the front-to-back processing of all kinds of data (from structured Excels and RTFs to unstructured PDFs and emails). This eliminates the boring manual work across the data lifecycle and enables firms to act faster, work smarter, save money, reduce risk and comply with regulatory requirements.

We’re headquartered in London and have offices in New York, Wroclaw, Singapore, and Antwerp. We’re proud to call some of the largest global financial institutions our clients, including over 15 of the world’s largest international banks, as well as brokers, exchanges, asset managers, hedge funds, administrators, service providers and corporates.

The opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Senior Application Security Engineer to take ownership of security across our software development lifecycle (SDLC). In this role, you will establish secure delivery as the default for our engineering teams, from design and code through to the pipelines that release it.

You will own our Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform, Ox Security, and ensure its findings translate into effective remediation. This includes reducing noise, prioritising vulnerabilities that are genuinely exploitable and partnering closely with engineering teams to resolve them. You will also define our approach to threat modelling, security testing and the integration of security guardrails into our CI/CD pipelines.

You will join a small, collaborative Information Security team based across London and Wrocław, working alongside our Senior Security Engineer (Cloud & SecOps) and our Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) function. You will work closely with our Engineering teams on a day-to-day basis and report to the Head of Information Security.
