Application Development Engineer- Remote

Job Description

Fortinet’s Code Security team is responsible for shipping a suite of products that can be used to help secure customer codebases. The technology involves static and dynamic program analysis and their combination, used to find, as well as prevent, threats and to understand risk, and serves personnel ranging from developers to security engineers to VP+C-suite. The Code Security offering which was recently announced integrates with the Fortinet CNAPP platform providing end-to-end security from code to cloud in a way where insights from different points in the software lifecycle work together to provide a holistic view of security.

We are looking for candidates to work on both the underlying analyses and on the platform for deploying them. The Analysis roles involve Programming Language technologies, such as build systems, compilers, formal methods, or static or dynamic program analysis. The Platform roles involve a mixture of DevOps and SRE (e.g. kubernetes) style work, as well as working with source code management systems (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). The Platform work is absolutely central to success, as it provides the foundation for meeting developers and security engineers where they work.

To apply you don’t need prior industry experience with these technologies: the main requirements are ability to program, as well as a desire to learn and contribute to a fast-paced engineering team making products used by thousands of programmers. This is a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an effort to secure customers’ code in the cloud(s).
