About the role

As a Security Engineer, Application Security at OutSystems, you will be the goalkeeper, preventing insecure design flaws and sneaky bugs from ever reaching production. You'll conduct threat modeling exercises with developers before they start coding, add security requirements to design specifications, and review PRs by manually auditing the source code and by poking at the live product in a staging environment. You will collaborate heavily with the rest of the Product Security team, as well as the greater security team and its stakeholders, in a variety of activities, either offensive or defensive in nature, ultimately aimed at safeguarding our users who entrust OutSystems with their business' livelihoods every day.

You will also be responsible for standing up commercial security tooling, building custom tools and automation in both high and low level languages, and contributing deep expertise in AWS and Kubernetes based architectures. A successful candidate will bring experience with AI, a clear understanding of the distinctions between pentesting and red/purple teaming, and a practical working knowledge of both AWS and Azure environments.

You will work frequently with and support developers within Engineering (R&D) and Digital, as well as members of the cloud infrastructure team, security team, the compliance team, DevOps, Product, Release Management, and other teams throughout the organization. Do you love to solve puzzles? Are you a great team player? Do you care tremendously about code quality? Then please consider joining our team!

What you'll do

• Contribute security-focused feedback to engineers during all phases of the development lifecycle
• Perform technical security assessments on our web apps, APIs, native clients, internal services, and partner products
• Stand up and operationalize commercial security tools, including integration and configuration for scalability
• Design and build custom security tooling using at least one high-level language (e.g., Python, Java, Ruby) and one low-level language (e.g., Go, Rust, C#)
• Seek out opportunities to automate processes when appropriate
• Scale the impact of our team through direct mentorship of our more junior team members
• Communicate risks to engineering staff through training and technical demonstration of vulnerabilities and secure design patterns
• Maintain and create secure development practices and programs for our engineering teams and external developers
• Act as an ambassador for security within OutSystems
• Serve as a public representative for security at OutSystems by engaging periodically in internal and external speaking engagements
• Identify emerging classes of vulnerabilities and develop solutions before they become a wider problem
• Efficiently scope blackbox, whitebox, and graybox assessments to optimize security review time and resources

All About You

• Proven experience securing large-scale enterprise systems and building automation for security tooling
• Proficient in one high-level (e.g., Python, Java) and one low-level language (e.g., Go, Rust, C#)
• Deep expertise in AWS (required), Kubernetes, and modern microservices; Azure experience is a plus
• Familiar with AI/ML security concerns and distinctions between pentesting, red teaming, and purple teaming
• Strong communicator and collaborator across remote, cross-functional teams; public speaking is a bonus

The Longer Story

OutSystems enables enterprise teams to build AI-powered applications and agents that reduce manual work, streamline internal operations, and accelerate impact. A proven low-code foundation combined with agentic AI and AI app generation capabilities empowers teams to move up to 10x faster with the assurance of security, scalability, and governance built in.

As the future becomes agentic, our customers need us now more than ever. AI has opened the door to extraordinary possibilities-but inside the enterprise, things are moving fast and feeling chaotic. Some early adopters are making progress in production, but for many, AI tools are sprawling without governance, data isn't ready, and talent isn't there yet. Enterprises are still drowning in application backlogs and struggling with legacy systems. But with the right platform, AI doesn't have to add to the chaos. It can become the breakthrough that brings clarity-and drives real, enterprise-wide impact. At OutSystems, we've built that platform, providing the tools necessary for enterprises to overcome these hurdles.

We are looking for passionate, talented, and motivated people to join us in helping our customers build, deploy, and scale apps and agents-fast, helping them accelerate innovation while enabling secure, governed human-AI collaboration.
