A Quick Peek at Affiliate Marketing
Think back to your last online purchase. Did an influencer tip you off about a great product and offer a discount Or perhaps you relied on a trusted review site to make your decision Whatever path you took affiliate publishers likely played a role by influencing informing or helping you find the best deal. CJ connects brands with these publishers creating valuable resources for shoppers like you.

Job Description

As a Software Engineer 3 focused on security within Engineering Experience (EngExp) you help drive the teams evolution from DevOps to DevSecOps. You work with engineering teams across the org to find prioritize and close out vulnerabilities in CJs code and infrastructure and you help serve as a technical bridge between engineering and the Global Security Office (GSO) auditors and clients on security topics. You turn raw findings (Wiz Veracode pentest reports) into evidence-backed actionable guidance. This is a hands-on role: you read and write code and when you have the context to fix a vulnerability yourself you do - not just file a ticket and hand it off.

Responsibilities

What Youll Do:

  • Triage and respond to vulnerabilities identified through tools such as Wiz Veracode and penetration tests and help drive them to resolution
  • Analyze infrastructure and codebases to produce evidence-backed answers about real risk - exploitability reachability and impact - rather than relaying scanner severity alone
  • Help operate the vulnerability queue end to end: intake prioritization tracking and validation of fixes
  • Partner with engineers to articulate the actual threat (or lack of one) behind a code or infrastructure finding
  • Remediate findings directly when you have the context - whether in EngExps own infrastructure or another teams - and drive remediation through partnership where you dont
  • Integrate security checks (SAST/DAST) into GitLab CI/CD pipelines so issues are caught at build and merge-request time not only in point-in-time scans
  • Contribute to security standards and best practices and coach teams through adopting them
  • Help verify AI-proposed fixes and risk assessments against the actual code config and runtime context before theyre accepted

Technologies We Use:

  • Application security tools: Veracode Wiz
  • SAST/DAST tooling embedded in CI/CD
  • Vulnerability management and ticketing systems (Jira or equivalent)
  • Cloud environments: AWS Kubernetes
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and Kubernetes manifests
  • CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms (GitLab CI/CD ArgoCD)
  • Programming languages: comfortable reading and fixing code in at least one of Python Go or the JVM languages (Java Scala Kotlin) - CJs codebases span all of these

Engineering Practices We Employ:

  • Agile software development
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  • Pair programming
  • Test-Driven Development (TDD)
  • Continuous Delivery

Qualifications

What We Look For:

  • 3 years of software or infrastructure engineering experience with hands-on exposure to application or infrastructure security
  • Bachelors degree or equivalent experience
  • Can read code and infrastructure config not just interpret scanner output
  • Understands common vulnerability classes and how to reason about exploitability and impact
  • Enough AWS/Kubernetes fluency to have credible technical conversations with the teams that operate them
  • Comfortable translating technical findings for non-security stakeholders and driving fixes through influence rather than authority

Nice to Have:

  • Experience wiring automated security scanning into CI/CD pipelines
  • Familiarity with threat modeling and secure-by-design review
  • Interest in emerging threats including AI systems and willingness to learn fast

What Success Looks Like:

  • Engineering teams understand why a finding matters (or doesnt) instead of closing tickets to clear a queue
  • Audits and client security reviews go smoothly because evidence and answers are ready not scrambled together
  • Security becomes a normal part of how teams build not a gate bolted on at the end
