Looking to hire security engineers who actually understand your codebase, not just run a scanner and hand you a PDF? Our application security engineers review source code, model threats against your real architecture, and fix the issues they find instead of just flagging them.
Most teams discover they need appsec only after a failed audit, a SOC 2 deadline, or a customer security questionnaire they cannot answer. The hard part is finding someone who reads code fluently, knows the OWASP and CWE landscape cold, and can tune SAST and DAST tooling so it surfaces real vulnerabilities instead of drowning your developers in false positives.
Whether you need one engineer to embed in your team for a hardening sprint or an ongoing partner to own your secure SDLC, we offer flexible engagement models that fit your roadmap and budget.

Why Hire Through Us
Benefits of hiring developers through Hevcode
Pre-Vetted AppSec Experts
Every security engineer passes rigorous technical assessments and has hands-on experience securing production codebases, not just running scanners.
Quick Onboarding
Your security engineer reviews their first pull request or starts a threat model within 48 hours of selection. No drawn-out hiring cycle.
Flexible Engagement
Bring an engineer in for a one-time audit, a hardening sprint, or ongoing secure SDLC ownership. Scale coverage up or down as risk changes.
Direct Communication
Work directly with the engineer reviewing your code. Findings come with context and fixes, not a black-box report from a middleman.
Timezone Overlap
We guarantee 4+ hours of overlap so security reviews and remediation happen alongside your developers in real time.
Risk-Free Trial
Start with a 1-week trial. If the engineer is not surfacing real, actionable findings, you pay nothing.
Engagement Models
Flexible hiring options to match your needs
Dedicated Developer
A full-time application security engineer embedded in your team, owning secure code review, threat modeling, and pipeline security across every release.
Ideal for: Companies pursuing compliance, fintech and health products, teams shipping continuously
Development Team
A complete security squad including appsec engineers, a DevSecOps lead, and a penetration tester, delivering audits, remediation, and a hardened SDLC end to end.
Ideal for: Enterprises, regulated industries, products facing major security audits
Hourly/Part-Time
Flexible hours for a one-off code audit, a threat model, a SAST/DAST setup, or a security questionnaire. Pay only for the hours worked.
Ideal for: One-time audits, compliance prep, consulting, security questionnaires
Hiring Process
Simple 4-step process to get your developer
Share Requirements
Tell us about your stack, codebase size, compliance targets, and the security gaps you are worried about. We map the scope and the right skill profile.
Developer Matching
Within 24 hours we present 2-3 pre-vetted security engineers with relevant experience in your language, framework, and compliance regime.
Interview & Select
Interview the candidates, walk them through a sample of your architecture, and pick the engineer whose findings and approach you trust most.
Start Building
Your engineer onboards within 48 hours, gets repo and tooling access under your controls, and begins reviewing, threat modeling, and hardening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hiring developers
What is the experience level of your security engineers?
Our application security engineers have 4-10+ years in software with deep focus on appsec. They are fluent in OWASP Top 10, CWE, threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE, and have hands-on experience tuning SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling in real CI/CD pipelines, not just reading scanner output.
How quickly can a security engineer start auditing my code?
We can onboard an engineer within 48 hours of selection. Once they have read access to your repository and any tooling, they typically deliver first findings on a focused scope within the first few days.
What if the engineer is not surfacing real issues?
We offer a 1-week risk-free trial. If the engineer is not producing real, actionable, well-prioritized findings, we replace them at no cost or refund you. After the trial, replacements are available with 1-week notice.
Can your engineers work within my timezone for live remediation?
Yes. We ensure a minimum 4-hour overlap with your working hours so the engineer can review pull requests, pair on fixes, and respond to findings alongside your developers in real time.
How do your engineers ensure quality and avoid false-positive noise?
They tune SAST and DAST rulesets to your codebase, triage every finding for exploitability, and deliver each issue with a CWE reference, severity rating, proof, and a concrete remediation. The goal is a clean, trustworthy signal your developers will act on.
Can I scale to a full security team for a major audit?
Yes. We can assemble a complete team including appsec engineers, a DevSecOps lead, and a penetration tester to drive compliance readiness, remediation, and a hardened SDLC. Teams scale from 1 engineer to a full squad based on the audit scope.
