Job Description:

Broadcom's Mainframe Software Division (MSD) is looking for a seasoned Cybersecurity Software Engineer with a hacker's curiosity and a defender's discipline, balancing bulletproof system reliability with a smooth user experience.

This role is in the Mainframe DevOps value stream, as a software engineer for one of our flagship products, Gen (formerly known as COOL:Gen or CA Gen). Gen is a low-code, model-driven development environment for enterprise applications. Gen enables global enterprises to generate and deploy applications in a single, integrated development environment for multiple platforms.

The Opportunity

As a Mainframe Cybersecurity Software Engineer (ICB 5), you will take ownership of the security posture, core architecture, and ongoing evolution of Gen (formerly known as COOL: Gen or CA Gen). This is a high-impact, visible role where you will apply your advanced cybersecurity expertise to influence all levels of product delivery. You will guide architectural design, spearhead secure coding standards, and act as a technical mentor to other engineers. This is a hands-on technical role: you will write code, lead code reviews, and influence testing strategy. Concurrently, you will serve as a subject matter expert and thought leader-championing security best practices in partnership with product management and customers.
