Join our experts and help us expand our security team!

What the roles offer:
• You drive the expansion of Fortify Aviator by creating more test cases for Fortify Aviator. A test case for Fortify Aviator is a Fortify SAST scan result, with added knowledge of whether this result is a true or false positive, why that is, and what should be done to remediate it.
• Fortify Scan results may be provided directly from the testing process. In other cases, you’ll scout for open-source code and scan this with Fortify. Regardless, you will need to do the auditing of the results.
• In those cases where relevant test code can’t be found in the wild, you’ll need to write small test cases yourself (synthetic code) in a wide variety of languages.
• You’ll work with the Fortify Aviator prompt engineers and help them to make Fortify Aviator predict your test cases correctly. You’ll also work with product management, tool engineers, and Fortify SAST researchers.

What you need to Succeed:
• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, or equivalent.
• At least 8+ years of experience in software development as a Security Champion
• You’re an expert in application security (OWASP Top-10, CWE, secure coding practices, etc.). You’ve previously worked as a security champion, security auditor, or penetration tester.
• You have experience with at least one SAST tool, and dealing with false positives coming from such a tool.
• You know at least one programming language well. With Fortify supporting 33+ programming languages, it’s even more important that you are willing and able to learn the essentials of any programming language in an on-demand way.
• Strong communication and analytical skills
• Work Independently, and deliver on expectations

Desired Knowledge and Skills:
• Fortify SAST experience
• Data science or AI experience
• Python experience.
