The Senior Application Security Engineer serves as a hands-on technical authority for the security of Mitek’s software products. This role bridges Information Security and Engineering, working directly with developers to identify, investigate, and remediate security weaknesses throughout the software development lifecycle.

This is a highly technical individual contributor role. The ideal candidate combines deep Application Security expertise with strong software engineering skills and is comfortable working directly in Java, Python, and Go codebases to trace vulnerabilities, understand root cause, assess exploitability, and partner with developers on secure remediation.

The role will help mature Mitek’s Secure SDLC, improve application security tooling and developer workflows, strengthen vulnerability remediation, and build preventative controls that reduce recurring security issues.

Why this role now

Mitek is continuing to mature its Application Security function from a position of strength. As our products, engineering organization, and threat landscape continue to evolve, we are investing proactively in the technical capabilities needed to secure internet-facing financial software and APIs.

This person will have significant ownership and visibility while remaining deeply hands-on with Engineering. The goal is not simply to identify vulnerabilities, but to understand them at the code level, help developers remediate them effectively, and build security into the development process so similar issues are prevented in the future.
