About the role The Nuclear Company is searching for an  Application Security Engineer  to help secure the software, data systems, and developer workflows that power our Nuclear Operating System, internal platforms, and mission-critical applications. This is a high-ownership role for a builder who is equally comfortable reviewing application architecture, threat modeling an API, improving GitHub security controls, and partnering directly with engineers to ship secure software quickly.   You will work across product engineering, platform engineering, data science, infrastructure, and operations to embed security into the way we design, build, test, and deploy software. You will help define secure development standards, review high-impact product designs, harden CI/CD workflows, and guide teams through vulnerability remediation in a practical, risk-based way.   This role reports to the Senior Manager for Application and Product Security. Responsibilities Application & Product Security   Perform security reviews and threat models for NOS modules, internal tools, APIs, data workflows, AI-enabled features, and cloud-connected applications.    Partner with engineering teams to identify and remediate risks across authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, input validation, secrets handling, encryption, logging, and data access.    Review application designs and code changes for security issues before they become production risk.   Define reusable security patterns for web applications, APIs, mobile workflows, internal platforms, and data-heavy systems.   Help establish secure-by-default approaches for applications that support regulated, high-consequence infrastructure.    Secure SDLC & Developer Enablement   Build and improve DevSecOps practices across the GitHub-based software development lifecycle, including code scanning, dependency review, secret scanning, branch protections, CI/CD hardening, and secure developer workflows.   Partner with engineering teams to create paved roads: secure templates, checklists, automation, documentation, and lightweight review processes that help teams move faster with confidence.   Triage and prioritize application security findings from
