Software Engineer - Security

The key responsibilities of a Software Engineer - Security at Applied Intuition include designing and implementing security standards and tools across major cloud providers, safeguarding internal and external systems, building product features for managing access to our products, and ensuring compliance with ethical standards related to customer data protection.

Candidates need a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or Software Engineering, along with 2+ years of experience in programming languages such as Golang, Python, Java, or C++. Experience in building complex backend systems on leading cloud providers and a proactive problem-solving mindset are also essential for the role.

At Applied Intuition, we foster a collaborative work environment that encourages engineers to take ownership of their projects. You'll have the flexibility to manage your schedule responsibly and enjoy the support of a dynamic team culture focused on innovation and continuous improvement.

A Software Engineer - Security should ideally have experience with cloud infrastructure, IAM systems, and tools for microservice orchestration such as Kubernetes and Docker. Proficiency with multiple cloud providers and direct experience in developing features for enterprise software will be advantageous.

Security is paramount for a Software Engineer at Applied Intuition because the solutions we provide are trusted by leading global automakers. Your role will directly influence the security landscape of autonomous technologies, ensuring that both our systems and client data remain protected against potential threats.

Absolutely! I would prioritize Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data. This includes implementing role-based access control and regularly auditing access logs to identify and rectify any irregularities.

My approach involves conducting a thorough risk assessment first, following which I design the system with defense-in-depth principles. I ensure that security is integrated at every layer of the software architecture, balancing functionality and compliance.

I’m particularly proficient in Python and Golang for security applications. Python’s extensive libraries help me quickly prototype security tools, while Golang is excellent for building high-performance applications that require robust security features.

In a recent project, I implemented multi-factor authentication for a web application that significantly reduced unauthorized access. By integrating SMS and email verification, we not only enhanced security but also improved user trust in the application.

I subscribe to industry publications, participate in forums, and attend security conferences regularly. Being part of professional groups also helps me exchange knowledge and stay current on emerging threats and defenses.

I have over two years of experience managing cloud security on AWS. This includes configuring security groups, setting up network access controls, and implementing encryption protocols to safeguard data.

Certainly! My process starts with identifying the root cause of the issue. I then evaluate potential impacts, research best practices for resolution, implement a solution, and lastly, document the incident and response to prevent future occurrences.

I believe that tracking metrics such as the number of security incidents, the time taken to resolve issues, and user access audits are crucial for assessing security effectiveness. These metrics provide insight into areas that may need improvement.

I prefer to present security updates during team meetings and supplement that with detailed documentation. Creating easy-to-understand guides enables better adherence to security policies and fosters a culture of security awareness.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the future of autonomy at Applied Intuition. Your commitment to innovation and the impact of securing vital technologies aligns perfectly with my passion for improving safety and efficiency in technology.
