Junior Security Engineering Cohort

Koddi • Fort Worth, TX

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Koddi is excited to announce a Security Engineering training program geared toward recent graduates with Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or related degrees, as well as recent grads who have completed relevant bootcamps. The Koddi Impact Program is an intensive 8-week training program that provides hands-on experience across core areas of Security Engineering at Koddi. In addition to technical training we provide instructor-led and self-paced leadership development opportunities.

Requirements

• Graduating by May 2026 with a BS/MS in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cyber-security, or a related field - OR - completion of a rigorous bootcamp with demonstrated security or systems coursework
• Available onsite in Fort Worth, TX Monday-Friday during the 8-week cohort, and full-time after
• Foundational understanding of the CIA triad, OWASP Top 10, and common vulnerability classes - not just terminology, but the ability to explain why a misconfigured IAM policy or exposed secret creates real risk
• Basic IAM literacy - you can explain the difference between authentication and authorization, what a role vs. a policy is, and why least-privilege matters
• At least one scripting language at a functional level (Python or Bash) - not just “familiarity,” but the ability to write a simple script to parse logs or automate a check
• Git/version control fluency - branching, PRs, and commit history review are part of the IaC security workflow
• Linux/Unix command-line comfort - file permissions, process inspection, log tailing; security work happens at the command line

Nice To Haves

• AWS security exposure (GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM policies in practice) - even coursework or free-tier labs count
• SIEM tool experience - Datadog, Splunk, CloudWatch Logs Insights, or similar
• SAST, DAST, or container scanning exposure
• CTF participation or bug bounty activity with documented findings or write ups
• Security certifications in progress or completed (CompTIA Security+, AWS Security Specialty, CEH)
• Azure security exposure (Defender for Cloud, Azure RBAC, Entra ID)

Responsibilities

• Monitor and triage security alerts from AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender for Cloud, and Datadog - first-line review, categorization, and escalation during business hours
• Run vulnerability scans, categorize findings, and track remediation status in the team’s ticketing system
• Review Terraform PRs for common security misconfigurations - open security groups, missing encryption, overly permissive IAM policies - against a defined checklist
• Contribute to security documentation - policies, runbooks, and procedure updates are a first- year ownership area
• Support CI/CD pipeline security - adding SAST checks and secret scanning steps (GitHub Advanced Security, Trivy) as directed
• Participate in incident response post-mortems as a contributor and note-taker, building toward running investigations independently
• Shadow senior engineers on IAM policy reviews, cloud security control implementation, and threat modeling sessions
• Attend team ceremonies - daily standups, biweekly retrospectives, and Architecture Review Board (ARB) sessions
