Application Security Engineer
Almaty, KazakhstanFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
Role focusing on identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities in Higgsfield AI's new features and products, with hands-on pentesting, threat modeling, and collaboration with engineering to bake in security from design through release.
Responsibilities
- Pentest new features and products pre-release: web, APIs, admin surfaces.
- Work out the attack surface of each new feature yourself.
- Hunt authorization flaws across multi-tenant APIs and retest fixes.
- Join design and code reviews early to ensure flaws are addressed before build.
- Turn recurring findings into guardrails—paved-road standards and automated checks—so a bug class dies once instead of resurfacing every release.
- Bring a working repro to the team that owns the code and see the fix through.
Qualifications
- A track record of finding real vulnerabilities in real systems — appsec work, bug bounty, or research.
- Ability to read modern codebases, trace a bug to root cause, and discuss the fix with engineers who wrote it.
- A threat-modeling instinct for spotting weak spots in design or architecture before a line is written.
- Enough cloud and container fundamentals to follow a bug into the infrastructure it runs on.
- High agency.
- Working English.
