We operate at the intersection of cryptography, system integrity, and the Cisco Secure Development Lifecycle (CSDL). Our mission is to build the foundational security architecture for Cisco's diverse product portfolio, ensuring our solutions remain resilient against the evolving threat landscape of the AI era. Your Impact This is a unique, versatile role for a Grade 8 Software Engineer who thrives on technical variety. You will bridge the gap between full-stack development and deep security engineering. You will spend time as a full-stack developer-leveraging Python, modern Angular, and Django-to maintain and enhance the cloud-based ACV application and support the Government Certification Team (GCT). Simultaneously, you will contribute to the development and support of our Common Security Modules, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure security is a core feature, not an afterthought. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys tackling complex security challenges while building scalable, high-impact software. Responsibilities * Maintain and enhance the ACV full-stack codebase (Python, Django, and Angular v17+) to support government certification programs. * Conduct thorough security code reviews and provide actionable feedback to improve overall codebase quality. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and test new features for common security modules. * Assist product teams in integrating common security modules into existing and new hardware/software platforms. * Analyze and remediate security vulnerabilities in accordance with industry-standard CVE mitigation practices. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [From Punch Cards to AI-assisted Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/611-from-punch-cards-to-ai-assisted-development) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Computer Vision from the Edge to the Cloud done easy](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/263-computer-vision-from-the-edge-to-the-cloud-done-easy) ## Related Articles - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer)
