The Opportunity
The Software Security Research (SSR) Team specializes in approaching security from the perspective of how we build and use software.
Our team is responsible for conducting security research which leads to enhanced security products as well as contributions to the Security Research Blog, whitepapers, conference presentations, and annual Cyber Risk Report. Furthermore, our team has identified new types of software vulnerabilities, defined the taxonomy used by all Fortify products, and highlighted broad security problems in development practices.
We are looking for people with web development and application security experience who are energized to work within a start-up like environment, but with the benefits of Open Text s resources. We are looking for individuals who are self-motivated, able to deliver under pressure, and interested in working within a group with global influence. The job requires work on complex problems/projects where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of multiple factors. Software security is becoming a bigger concern as more and more organizations are experiencing embarrassing public incidents with large losses of data.
