Cybersecurity Software Engineer As a software engineer, you’d work in teams to build out next-generation security technology solutions for projects such as 5G, Mobility, Open-Source Initiatives, Network security, Microservices, Automation, Cloud solutions, Threat Analytics, Data Protection, AI/Machine Learning, Quantum technology, and UI/UX design. For example, you may interpret a software feature from an end user's perspective, determine the best designed solution, and then code and test your solution. You’d also demo the user story solution for the software product owner, gather their feedback and make any needed adjustments. Participation in daily meetings to communicate progress and impediments as part of a team could also be expected. If you’re passionate about coding, we’re the place to be! Some languages and tools we leverage for software development include Java, SQL, Python, Linux, Azure/AWS, HTML, Angular, XML, C/C++, JSON, JavaScript, database technologies, and visualization tools. Cybersecurity Data Analyst As a data analyst, you may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation and other tools to breakdown business problems, analyze data, and guide improvements. Your efforts would help influence customer satisfaction and potentially generate millions in savings and revenue through enhancements such as fleet optimization, energy efficiency, and data/threat analytics. With ongoing skill development and collaboration with some of the brightest minds in the field, you’d be poised to make your mark. With your know-how and access to one of the largest data sets available, you’ll make an impact and develop meaningful data-driven insights to inspire continuous innovation. Some languages and tools we leverage for data assessment, extraction, analytics, and monitoring include Python/R programming, Jupyter notebooks, APIs, Spark, Azure/AWS, PowerBI, and Splunk. Whether you are a fit for a software engineer or data analyst role, the cybersecurity internship offers you the opportunity to potentially gain knowledge, explore technology, and build skills. Some general skills we will leverage for both roles: strong communication, analytical thinking, decision-making skills and taking initiative. So, what qualifications are we looking for in a candidate? We’re looking for someone of integrity with excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills and the ability to interface with all levels of internal and external leadership.
