About this role
DTCC's Information Technology group is seeking an experienced application security leader to oversee the organization's vulnerability management and secure development programmes across its financial infrastructure platform. In this Associate Director role, you would lead static, dynamic, and software composition analysis initiatives while partnering directly with engineering teams to reduce application risk and establish security standards that scale across the organization. The position requires both technical depth—managing AppSec platforms, evaluating emerging security tools, and driving detection capabilities—and leadership capability to mature programmes through metrics, automation, and continuous improvement.
This role suits someone with 8+ years in application security who combines hands-on technical expertise with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and communicate security outcomes to stakeholders. A CISSP or equivalent certification is preferred. You'll need to balance risk oversight with pragmatic remediation strategies, foster transparency around vulnerabilities, and champion a culture where security is integrated into development practices rather than imposed as a gate. The hybrid arrangement offers three days onsite in Hyderabad with flexibility around the fourth day, alongside standard benefits including health coverage, pension, and paid leave.
