Examples include adding support for Kerberos authentication to open-source databases like Redis and Mongo, implementing support for OpenID Connect authentication in web frameworks, and implementing novel authentication and authorization protocols. Furthermore, you will implement and support tools for automatic vulnerability finding both for the needs of the Information Security team as well as the larger development organization. Examples include our in-house static code analysis, dynamic web application security testing tools, a system for third-party software dependency security assessment and monitoring, and a centralized vulnerability management system.
