About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Application Security Engineer to join our Engineering team and own the security posture of our software and development practices. This is a hands-on role for someone with a strong software engineering background who is genuinely passionate about security - not a traditional infosec role, but one that sits at the intersection of engineering and security. You will be our primary security expert embedded in the Engineering organization, acting as the first responder on security topics - from bug bounty programs and penetration testing to vulnerability management and security risk tracking.

You will work closely with our engineering teams to embed security guardrails into our development workflows, including our growing AI-assisted and Agentic development practices. We are ISO 27001 certified and take our compliance obligations seriously. You will play a key role in ensuring our controls remain in place, evolving our security awareness program, and continuously improving the tools and practices that keep us ahead of the curve.

About you At DataCamp, we seek individuals who embody our core values of data-driven decision-making, action, transparency, ownership, and customer focus. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-performing environment and are driven by a passion for making a meaningful impact. You're adaptable, embracing change and ambiguity with enthusiasm.

Your initiative and entrepreneurial spirit push you beyond just meeting targets—you aim to understand the "why" behind our goals and take ownership to drive the business forward. You’re a collaborative team player who values transparency and always seeks to improve and innovate. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!
