[SC-L] Job Posting: Software Assurance at MITRE

[Steven M. Christey]

Apologies ahead of time to SC-L subscribers who do not want to see job 
postings; Ken said it was OK.

MITRE, a "Fortune 100 Best Company To Work For" corporation, is seeking a 
Software Systems Engineer to provide expertise in the area of software 
security.  The ideal candidate would have broad, deep knowledge of the 
types of vulnerabilities that occur throughout the SDLC; their associated 
mitigations; techniques for security-relevant static and dynamic analysis 
of code, including their strengths and limitations; and methodologies for 
testing and evaluating automated code scanning tools, including 
development of test cases.

The primary work will involve understanding and improving the state of the 
art in techniques for detecting and preventing software vulnerabilities in 
source/binary code, in collaboration with government, industry, and 
academia.

10+ years of relevant experience strongly preferred, including 5+ years in 
software assurance or closely-related disciplines, with an ability to work 
independently and be responsible for deliverables within a team 
environment, spanning 6 months or longer.  Real-world knowledge of 
software testing frameworks desired.  Solid knowledge of C, C++, and Java 
strongly preferred.  Experience in custom software development or 
scripting a plus.  Excellent oral and written communication skills 
strongly preferred.  Less-experienced individuals with demonstrable talent 
and expertise are welcome to apply.

Strong preference will be given to candidates who can live near our 
locations in Bedford, Massachusetts or McLean, Virginia.

U.S. citizenship is required.

If you are interested, please contact me with your resume, preferably by 
August 3.  We plan to fill this position within a month or two.


Thank you,
Steve Christey
