Product Security Engineer

Company Overview

Redgate Software creates ingeniously simple software that helps data professionals get the most value out of any database. Our solutions address complex database management challenges across the Dev Ops lifecycle, making life easier for IT leaders, development, and operations teams by increasing efficiency, reducing errors, and protecting business‑critical data. The data community trusts Redgate to balance speed to market, team collaboration, and data protection.

As a Product Security Engineer, you will embed security into the software development lifecycle across multiple product teams. You’ll help teams build, ship, and operate secure software by defining requirements, improving detection and prevention (SAST/DAST), assisting teams with application security governance, and running threat modelling.

• Partner with engineering and product teams to define and ope rationalise security requirements across the SDLC (from design to release).
• Audit application code for weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
• Own or co‑own application security governance practices: secure‑by‑default standards, patterns, guardrails, and exceptions/risk acceptance.
• Drive SAST/DAST adoption and quality: tool tuning, triage workflows, severity calibration, and ‘fix-forward’ enablement.
• Support adoption of threat modelling for new features, architectural changes, and high‑risk services—turning findings into actionable engineering work.
• Provide product security guidance for cloud‑native environments (AWS + containerised workloads), with an emphasis on secure service design and deployment practices.
• Build strong relationships with product teams through clear communication, coaching, and security enablement.
• Review and assist in the development of engineering policies aligned with security best practices.
• Contribute secure shared libraries/paved‑road components or perform targeted security testing/pentesting to validate controls.
• Work with product teams to support implementation of AI, including LLMs, SLMs, and MCP.

• Hands‑on product/application security experience supporting engineering teams in a modern SDLC (requirements, design review, secure coding guidance, release support).
• Strong knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and practical mitigation patterns; familiarity with OWASP ASVS is a plus.
• Experience implementing or improving SAST/DAST processes: tool selection/tuning, signal‑to‑noise reduction, and scalable remediation workflows.
• Working understanding of cloud and container security fundamentals in an environment using AWS and Docker (and related CI/CD practices).
• Comfort working across a primarily C# ecosystem (with some Java/Python), including the ability to review code and explain security issues clearly to developers.
• Ability to translate security risk into actionable engineering priorities—balancing risk, delivery timelines, and operational realities.

• You’re pragmatic: you care about real risk reduction, not checkbox compliance or perfect theoretical security.
• You communicate clearly and respectfully, able to influence without authority and build trust across multiple product teams.
• You’re structured and evidence‑driven: you document decisions, measure outcomes, and iterate based on what’s working.
• You’re comfortable in ambiguity and can shape an approach when requirements, tooling, or ownership aren’t fully defined yet.

• £60,000 to £75,000 subject to experience

• C# / .NET (primary engineering ecosystem), React
• Java (J2EE), Type Script, and Python
• AWS (cloud infrastructure and services), Docker (containerised workloads)
• SAST/DAST tooling (specific products may vary; you’ll help tune and ope rationalise them)
