Job description

In this role, you will contribute to improving the security and reliability of a healthcare product by analyzing security requirements and addressing vulnerabilities within a large legacy C++ codebase. Working closely with the client’s developers and architects, you will implement security fixes, maintain memory- and threading-sensitive components, and assess technical and regression risks. You will also contribute to code reviews, testing, debugging, and continuous integration, helping ensure the product remains secure, stable, and reliable., * Analyze assigned security requirements and security findings

  • Implement security-related changes in the healthcare product
  • Remediate vulnerabilities such as unsafe input and length handling, buffer-overflow or memory-corruption risks, and SQL injection

  • Participate in code reviews, testing, debugging, and troubleshooting
  • Continuously integrate changes into the existing product and collaborate closely with the client’s developers and architects

Requirements

  • Strong commercial experience with C++, including mature or legacy C++ codebases
  • Strong knowledge of low-level programming, pointers and pointer arithmetic, manual memory management, bounds checking, and memory safety
  • Experience preventing or remediating buffer overflows, memory corruption, unsafe input handling, and similar native-code vulnerabilities

  • Good understanding of object-oriented programming concepts
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
  • Proficiency in close collaboration with architects, QA engineers, security experts, and existing product developers
  • Experience with Qt or similar desktop GUI frameworks is an advantage
  • Experience with Windows / Windows Server-based desktop or on-premises products is an advantage
