About The Position

Tetrad Digital Integrity (TDI) is a leading-edge cybersecurity firm with a mission to safeguard and protect our customers from increasing threats and vulnerabilities in this digital age.

These activities are across the development lifecycle from concept development, design, and implementation. To accomplish these activities candidates will need to apply diverse skills in software engineering, system engineering & administration, integration, test, and system security. Customers often come to our unit with a goal in mind, but they need our help to realize it. As such, candidates should be able to analyze requirements to ensure overall testability, and then develop appropriate software design, test plans, and procedures. Since we are a small team with a small, dedicated testing staff, candidates should also be able to assist in the execution of functional, performance, and security tests and support debug of system issues. While a separate part of the team does oversee maintenance activities, candidates may be called upon to review existing programs and assist in making refinements to aid in reducing operating time and/or improving current development methods.
