In short

Remote Pro Ai places vetted Application Security Engineers who secure code, APIs and mobile apps from design through release. They threat-model products, triage SAST findings, test APIs with tools such as Burp and 42Crunch, and secure mobile apps against OWASP MASVS.

Your AppSec Engineer performs secure design reviews and threat modelling for products, and defines secure coding standards and trains engineering teams. Typical stack: OWASP ASVS / MASVS, Burp, Semgrep, Checkmarx and 42Crunch.

Why teams are hiring this role now

Super-apps, digital banks and government portals across the Gulf now ship weekly, and APIs have become the main attack surface. Regulators and enterprise buyers increasingly expect penetration-tested releases and a secure SDLC. Application security engineers who work inside squads, rather than auditing from outside, are in strong demand.
