Software Engineer Ii United States Washington Redmond

Job description

Improve application security maturity at scale by designing, implementing, and building security solutions. Building prototypes and proof-of-concept code, working alongside the engineering teams to provide advice on secure design and implementation. Participate in technical discussions and bring new ideas to the table. Learns to use appropriate artificial intelligence (AI) tools and practices across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) in a disciplined manner. With guidance, learns to create and implement code for a product, service, or feature reusing code as applicable. Begins to write and learn to create code that is extensible and maintainable with managerial oversight. Learns about and may begin to apply diagnosability, reliability, and maintainability, and develops an understanding of when the code is ready to be shared and delivered. Learning about debugging tools, tests, logs, telemetry, and other methods for proactively flagging issues before they occur. Participates in incident retrospectives as instructed to assist with identifying root causes of problems. Learns to review code and helps to review code of others to ensure it meets team standards. Participates in code review processes for self-development, gathers feedback, and learns about coding standards and the team's features. Learning about and helping to ensure the correct processes are followed to achieve a high degree of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility.
