Introduction
Data is the new currency. In an ever increasingly connected world where the amount of data generated every day is exploding, in the wrong hands, this data can be used for malicious intent. As more systems are being built on the cloud, businesses are struggling to protect and monitor their data environment. The IBM Security development team works on leading edge products and solutions to help organizations analyze their data environment to make sound decisions to ensure regulatory compliance and improve their data security. The research and development in this area is critical to IBM and represents a huge opportunity for growth in terms of revenue uplift and technology advancement. Our developers participate in all aspects of software development, from inception and design through code implementation and delivery, contribute to and learn about all technologies utilized by the product across the different tiers and work closely with senior technical team members on high-level architecture and designs. As a Security Software Developer, you will be an integral part of the team responsible for developing new features for our new data security offering using the wide array of tools and technologies. You will work on a self-managing Agile team that cultivates creativity and challenges the status quo.
