Job Details

Hello,

SpiceOrb is looking for Security Engineer with Strong Backend(Python, PHP)

Role: Security Engineer with Backend (Python/PHP)

Location: 100% Remote

Duration: 12+ Months Contract

We are looking for a Security Engineer with strong software development skills to help build and improve a system that measures the security risk of different technology assets within an organization. This system, called Security Impact Rating (SIR), helps prioritize security efforts by identifying which assets pose the greatest potential risk.

Key Responsibilities

  • Understand different types of technology assets and how they relate to each other in terms of security risk.
  • Identify and collect security signals (data points) that indicate the risk level of each asset.
  • Design algorithms that calculate a security risk score for assets based on these signals and their relationships.
  • Write and maintain code to implement these algorithms and integrate them into the company's security infrastructure.
  • Validate and test the accuracy of the risk scores through manual review and automated testing.
  • Collaborate with other engineers, security analysts, and stakeholders to review designs, share progress, and communicate results.
  • Monitor the system after launch to ensure it continues to provide accurate and useful risk ratings, and make improvements as needed.

Required Skills

  • Strong programming skills in languages commonly used for backend development (e.g., PHP, Python).
  • Experience designing and implementing algorithms that process complex data.
  • Ability to analyze and work with large datasets to extract meaningful security signals.
  • Familiarity with security concepts such as access control, data sensitivity, data classification methodology and risk assessment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Good communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to write clear technical documentation.

Why This Role Matters

By building and improving the Security Impact Rating system, you will help the organization better understand and manage security risks. This enables more effective prioritization of security efforts, protecting critical assets and reducing overall risk.
