This is a high-ownership, technically demanding role for an experienced application security engineer. You will work at the intersection of threat-informed design, engineering automation, and applied AI, doing consequential security work that directly shapes the posture of a modern SaaS platform. If you're a security engineer who writes code to solve security problems, can read a production codebase to find what a scanner misses, and wants your work to matter beyond a ticket queue, we want to talk. You will report to the Manager, Application Security , based in our Bellevue, WA office, or you may work remotely from anywhere in the US where Smartsheet is a registered employer.
