Software Engineer-Information Security; Source Compliance IRC

Description

Engineering & Automation (Embedded + SDLC):

• Automate audits of binaries and source for license usage; run SCA and produce SBOMs (Cyclone
  
  DX/SPDX).
• Standardize reproducible build engineering with CMake and Clang/LLVM; manage dependencies via Conan and Snapcraft(where applicable).
• Govern artifacts in JFrog Artifactory with dependency health checks via JFrog Xray.
• Operationalize Git Ops (Git Hub/Git Lab) and design CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions / Git Lab CI.

Security Testing & Vulnerability Management:

• Integrate SAST/DAST/IAST into embedded and app pipelines (C/C++, C #, Python, JavaScript, XML); enforce gates, SLAs, and remediation workflows.
• Triage third‑party vulnerabilities and assess results from CodeQL, Sonar Qube, and related scanners; drive fix plans across firmware and supporting services.

Open Source Candidates & Revalidation:

• Create, publish, and continually revalidate Open Source Candidates (GPL/MPL and others) with reproducible build scripts, license texts, copyright notices, and end‑user instructions.
• Triage and resolve revalidation build errors (toolchain, linking, dependency, packaging), ensuring public distribution materials remain accurate.

• Work cross‑functionally with engineering teams, Legal, and senior leadership for status updates, new requirements intake, and policy alignment; engage external partners (ODMs, vendors, consultants) to meet compliance obligations.
• 7+ years in embedded software development (Linux kernel, device/firmware), plus 2+ years in a security‑focused role (Dev Sec Ops /App Sec/Compliance).
• Licensing & Policy:
  Deep, practical familiarity with GPL/LGPL/MPL/MIT/Apache requirements (attribution, source publication, relinking, derivative work analysis) and enforcement throughout the SDLC.
• Languages & Stacks:
  Strong in C, C++, C#; proficient in Python/JavaScript for automation/tooling; confident with XML/JSON/YAML for configs and SBOMs.
• Build, Packaging & Artifacts:
  Proficient with CMake, Clang/LLVM, cross compilers; package with Conan/Snapcraft; govern artifacts in JFrog Artifactory with risk analysis via JFrog Xray.
• CI/CD & Git Ops:
  Hands‑on with Git Hub Actions / Git Lab CI and Git Ops practices (Git Hub/Git Lab) for policy as code and environment orchestration.
• Testing & Vulnerability Triage:
  Skilled at integrating and interpreting SAST/DAST/IAST results; practical experience with CodeQL, Sonar Qube, Scan Code, and SBOM tooling (SPDX/Cyclone
  
  DX).
• Data & Communication:
  Able to build Power BI dashboards, write SQL, and translate complex technical topics into clear narratives for technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Documentation & Training:
  Exceptional writing quality for SOPs, Working Instructions, and public distribution artifacts; experienced trainer for OSS/GRC topics.
• Collaboration:
  
  Comfortable influencing cross‑functional roadmaps and mediating license/security trade‑offs with engineering, Legal, and external partners.
• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field. Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CSSLP) are a plus.

• Conduct formal risk assessments to identify threats and vulnerabilities and recommend mitigating controls.
• Ensure compliance with open source licenses and applicable standards (e.g., ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 5230:2020, SOC
  2) in partnership with Engineering, Legal, and external stakeholders.
• Evaluate proposed libraries before integration (GPL/LGPL/MPL/MIT/Apache), document obligations (attribution, source offer, relinking), and guide compliant implementation patterns (static vs. dynamic link, dual license scenarios).

• Author/update SOPs, Working Instructions, developer‑facing runbooks, and public distribution READMEs.
• Develop and deliver open source and product‑based GRC training to employees and contractors.
• Communicate complex build processes, package management, and license implications to technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Lead incident response (identify, contain, recover), conduct post‑incident reviews, and recommend program and control…
