About this role

Apollo.io is hiring for a Staff Application Security Engineer role. See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • A track record of leading AppSec strategy that changed how several engineering teams build, with measurable results, typically backed by 10+ years in software engineering or application security.
  • Expert code review, penetration testing, and exploit development skills, with the ability to find design flaws in unfamiliar codebases and land fixes that hold up against bypass attempts.
  • Strong software development skills and the ability to ship production code. Ruby and Ruby on Rails experience is highly valuable, and Python is a plus. Strong Linux and cloud fundamentals, ideally GCP and Kubernetes.
  • Deep experience with secure architecture and authentication and authorization patterns, and with building security building blocks that other teams adopt.
  • Hands-on experience securing AI-powered systems or agent features, and a clear point of view on how AI changes application security.
  • The judgment to make hard risk calls under ambiguity, and the influence to align technical and non-technical leaders without formal authority.
  • Experience leading security for AI-native products, internal agents, or AI-assisted engineering workflows at scale.
  • Experience building or scaling a security champions or developer enablement program.
