The Cyber Software Engineer (level 2) is a mid‑level role that requires owing security outcomes across the product lifecycle. In this position you will lead the definition of security architecture for new features and major refactors, conduct threat‑modeling investigations, and translate product requirements into concrete security controls. Responsibilities include spearheading comprehensive vulnerability assessments (static, dynamic, and dependency‑scanning) prioritizing vulnerability remediation, and ensuring continuous compliance with frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and DoD RMF.
The Cyber Software Engineer (level 2) will design, develop, and maintain advanced Python‑based automation that embeds security gates, secret scanning, policy‑as‑code, and automated remediation into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, DevOps, Jenkins), and will evaluate emerging tools (e.g., SBOM generators, runtime protection platforms) for enterprise adoption. Authoring clear, detailed security design documents, runbooks, and stakeholder‑facing briefs is a core expectation, as is mentoring junior engineers on secure coding practices, code‑review techniques, and security testing. Collaboration is central as you will work closely with product owners, system and software architects, DevOps, QA, and operations teams to ensure that secure, cyber‑centric features are delivered on schedule and that security considerations are baked into sprint planning and release cycles.
To succeed at this level, candidates should have 3–5 years of software development in a cybersecurity environment with a strong focus on security, deep knowledge of OWASP ASVS, NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, and secure coding standards, and hands‑on expertise with SAST/DAST tools, container security scanners, and infrastructure‑as‑code platforms. In addition to technical proficiency, this role must demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, the ability to influence cross‑functional teams, and a commitment to mentorship and continuous learning.
Evidenced commitment to staying current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices through self‑directed study, conferences, or participation in professional communities.
