Application Security Engineer - Tech Foundations

Security for the AI-Driven Era

At Alan, the goal is to transform health insurance by empowering every team member to build. As an Application Security Engineer, you won't be a bottleneck; you'll be an enabler. You will join the Tech Foundations crew to design 'secure-by-default' systems that allow high-velocity development to thrive. Your work ensures that as the company moves toward agentic workflows, the underlying infrastructure remains resilient and member data stays protected.

Tech Stack & Vibe Integration

This role is deeply embedded in the modern dev lifecycle, moving away from manual audits toward automated, systemic fixes. You will:

• Govern AI Workflows: Establish security guardrails specifically for AI-assisted coding and automated agents.
• Automate Defense: Use Python and Bash to integrate SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning into high-speed CI/CD pipelines.
• Scale Securely: Manage secrets detection and vulnerability remediation in a landscape where natural language is becoming the primary coding interface.

Growth & Impact

Joining a team that values radical transparency and distributed ownership means you have the autonomy to shape the security culture. By 2026, you will be leading efforts to internalize pentesting and define how security evolves when code is generated by AI tools like Cursor or Claude. It is a unique opportunity to build the security standards for the next generation of software engineering.
