Job Description:-

Developer with Java or Python + Heavy Security Background (Cybersecurity)

Skill Highlights- please indicate the # of years on each of the following skills:

• Java
• Python
• SQL Injection
• Security
• AWS
• Azure
• Databases
• Backend/Front end %

Overview:
My team is actually called the security coaches and the advisors team. The role that we are looking for is on the advisor team and what we do is we are integrated into the development squads to help them fix vulnerabilities to the left (run their scans in their lower environment.) We find these as we help remediate and we do not push them in to production. As a result, we should not be pushing any new vulnerabilities into production, so we are each of the security advisor is aligned to a portfolio where they are broken down as primary and secondary.
This advisor role would need coding experience. They will be working hand in hand with the developers to say OK, there is a SQL injection here. This could be a probable SQL injection and this is how you fix it or there is a cross-site scripting vulnerability here. You probably have to do input validation and this is how you should be doing so in order to find out and fix those vulnerabilities, they need to understand code first.
The other thing that we would like is understanding of AWS or Microsoft or Azure or you know all of these. Not hands on is not required, just basics if they are speaking that language about databases about back end. They should be able to communicate and have a conversation and communicate or provide you know best practices of how they should be doing it right. They don't have to be experts. I'm not looking for any certifications.


I would like to look at resumes with coding programming experience and attitude to learn right (client) way of life is different. I would always say it is different in in the sense that we do. Business in in our own way like meaning we have a way to do it and we follow that. So there's a lot of processes. There's a lot of hoops to jump to get to a place they should have that. That and communication, willing to learn and attitude as well I can. I can teach somebody that does not know a lot about security, but most important thing for me is the attitude.


Just wanted to understand out of the languages you have mentioned, good to have a couple of you have mentioned over here. Is there anything that you would like to prioritize in an order that these are the must have?
We are basically a Java and Python shop in anime, so either of them is fine.


Will this person will be more inclined toward the security or this person will be more inclined toward the development?
Security. They will work hand in hand with developers to remediate vulnerabilities, most of the developers write. They'll be so busy in innovation, right, making new features and new. New capabilities and all of those four for a given application, they don't focus as much.
It's a culmination of these two. I know it's a very niche role or position to fill.


So someone like who is coming from a cyber security background, who has some knowledge in Java? Like who can understand the code? Yes.
