Director Application Security

Lead the AI Security Evolution

Western Union is seeking a visionary to redefine security in the era of automated development. Instead of acting as a barrier, you will empower engineering teams by embedding security protocols directly into modern workflows. This leadership position is centered on building a robust strategy for cloud-native ecosystems, microservices, and AI-driven platforms, ensuring that rapid innovation remains safe.

Governance for the Vibe Coding Era

This role stands out because it explicitly prioritizes the governance of AI-assisted software development. You will be responsible for setting the standards for 'vibe coding' and natural-language prompting tools, ensuring that as developers lean into AI to write code, the resulting software is secure by design. Your toolkit will include automated SAST/DAST, container security, and advanced threat modeling specifically tailored for AI-generated assets.

Impact and Leadership

You will head a specialized team dedicated to reducing developer friction while boosting code integrity. Success means implementing a multi-year transformation that automates security within CI/CD pipelines and builds a 'Security Champions' culture. For a leader who understands that AI is the future of software, this is the chance to build the definitive security blueprint for AI-assisted fintech.
