Job Description

Are you a backend developer who finds themselves constantly pointing out potential vulnerabilities in code reviews? Do you enjoy not just finding security flaws, but getting your hands dirty to fix them?

The Avigilon Alta team is seeking a Software Engineer with a Security Focus to bridge the gap between our Security Audit teams and our Core Engineering teams. While traditional security engineers focus on policy and finding threats, your role is to engineer the solutions.

You will work within the engineering team to squash security bugs, refactor legacy code for safety, and build shared libraries that make it easier for the rest of the team to ship secure code by default.

Responsibilities:

Take ownership of security findings from SAST/DAST tools, penetration tests, and bug bounties.
Write and deploy production-grade code fixes in Go to resolve vulnerabilities
Reproduce reported vulnerabilities locally to verify the issue, write the patch, and verify the fix
Refactor existing backend microservices to improve their security posture without sacrificing performance or scalability
Design and implement security-focused middleware and libraries
Harden Docker containers and Kubernetes configurations to minimize the attack surface
Act as the "Security Champion" within the development team, helping regular Software Engineers understand why a specific pattern is insecure and how to write it correctly
Participate in code reviews with a specific focus on security logic
Assist in integrating automated security tools into our CI/CD pipeline, ensuring they provide actionable feedback

Basic Requirements

Strong coding skills with experience in building clean, maintainable backend services (experience with Go/C++ is a huge plus)
Solid understanding of microservices architecture, REST/gRPC APIs, and database interactions (e.g., PostgreSQL)
Practical knowledge of common web application vulnerabilities (OWASP) and how to prevent them in code
Experience investigating bugs or security issues and delivering code patches to production systems
Comfortable working with Linux environments, containers (Docker), and CI/CD workflows
Basic understanding of core security concepts like authentication protocols and applied cryptography (hashing, encryption) in a backend context
Genuine curiosity about how software breaks and a desire to stay up-to-date with the latest attack vectors
A collaborative attitude, with the ability to thrive autonomously while actively sharing knowledge with the team
Good level of English

In return for your expertise, we’ll support you in this new challenge with coaching & development every step of the way.

Also, to reward your work you’ll get:

Private medical & dental coverage, Multisport
Life insurance (two annual incomes)
Employee Stock Purchase Plan – 15% discount for buying Motorola’s Stock units
Employee Pension Plan – 3.5% of the month’s salary gross, which goes to the retirement account
IP Tax Relief (up to 80%)
Yearly salary increase (depends on individual performance)
Yearly bonus (depends on company performance)
Flexible working hours (our day usually starts between 7-10 AM)
