• Experience with Coverity, BlackDuck, SRM, or Fortify — a plus
• HTTP request/response headers for web and RESTful API calls
• Ability to explain in detail any of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (Cross-Site Scripting, Injection attacks, SSRF, CSRF, XML entity, etc.)
• API security, JWT, OAuth/OIDC/PKCE
• Web and API replay attacks
• High-level understanding of containers
• Cloud development experience (Azure, AWS, GCP)

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of total IT-related experience
• 3+ years of implementing/utilizing Federal, Industry, and Open-Source Security Guidance and Secure Coding Practices (OWASP Top 10, SANS, CERT, CWE Top 25, Critical Security Controls, Cloud Security Alliance, SafeCode, etc.)
• 3+ years with compiled and interpreted languages such as Angular, React, Node.js, Java, Spring Boot, IBM WebSphere, Oracle JBoss, or .NET stacks
• 3+ years with networking, infrastructure, secure application development, and security automation (DevSecOps)
• 3+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying secure, complex distributed web and mobile applications
• Must be located within 90–100 miles of Dimondale, MI at time of submission (local candidates only — hard requirement)
