Job Description: About Our Cybersecurity Team Are you ready to make an impact at one of the world's leading technology companies? HPE's Cybersecurity team is where you can do just that. We're looking for a dynamic and experienced Application Security Manager to join our team. If you're passionate about shaping the future of cybersecurity and ready for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you. About the Role We're building a modern, enterprise Application Security program, and we're looking for a Manager to lead the engineers who run it day to day. This is a build-and-scale leadership role: the team is new, the strategy is set, and the toolchain is in place or rolling out. You'll turn that foundation into a high-performing team and a repeatable operating rhythm across Secure SDLC, web application and API protection, CI/CD pipeline security, SaaS security, and the emerging discipline of AI/LLM security. Application security engineers will run the tools and do the technical work; you'll bring the technical depth to guide their decisions, review their approach, unblock them, and hold a high-quality bar. You'll work as one team with the US-based Application Security team, and partner closely with application owners, IT, and engineering teams to translate risk into outcomes developers adopt, so applications are secure by default. What you’ll do: Lead and develop a growing team of 5–7 senior application security engineers based in Bangalore, India Hire, onboard, and develop a team of application security engineers; set clear goals, career paths, and a culture of ownership and technical excellence. Run day-to-day team operations: sprint planning, workload prioritization, on-call/escalation coverage, and vendor coordination. Provide technical direction and guidance to engineers: review triage decisions, tuning approaches, and remediation guidance, and step in on complex or escalated issues. Define team processes, runbooks, and RACI so work scales beyond individuals.
