We are conducting a paid study on application feature development and vulnerability verification. We need experienced full-stack engineers to discuss their workflow for securing CI/CD pipelines and managing threats.
What We're Researching
We're running a paid study on the intersection of full-stack development and cybersecurity practices. Our goal is to understand how engineering teams balance feature development with robust vulnerability verification. This research will help refine tooling and processes for secure application deployment. How It Works
You will participate in a remote technical interview to discuss your recent development projects. We will ask you to walk through your approach to managing CI/CD pipelines and integrating security checks. You will react to a few hypothetical deployment scenarios and explain how you verify vulnerabilities. The conversation will focus on your day-to-day workflow and technical decision-making process. Who This Is For
We welcome full-stack engineers, application security engineers, and DevOps professionals with a strong cybersecurity background. You should have hands-on experience owning application features and securing deployment pipelines. Candidates who regularly perform vulnerability verification in production environments are an ideal fit for this conversation.
What you would do
• Walk us through your process for integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
• Describe how you handle vulnerability verification during feature development
• React to technical scenarios involving application security threats
• Discuss your day-to-day workflow for balancing feature velocity with security requirements
Who this is for
• Active full-stack engineer or application security professional
• Strong background in cybersecurity and threat management
• Hands-on experience managing and securing CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with vulnerability verification processes in production
