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 integrate vulnerability verification directly into their CI/CD pipelines. This feedback will help shape future developer tools designed to streamline secure application feature ownership.
How It Works
During a remote video session, you will walk us through a recent project where you owned both application development and vulnerability verification. You will be asked to describe your current CI/CD setup, highlighting the specific steps you take to ensure secure deployments. We will then show you a few conceptual workflows and ask for your candid feedback on their practicality. The conversation flows as a standard technical interview, focusing on your day-to-day security routines.
Who This Is For
We welcome full-stack engineers who have a dedicated focus or strong background in cybersecurity. You should have hands-on experience managing application features, configuring CI/CD pipelines, and verifying vulnerabilities prior to production. We also welcome DevSecOps engineers and security-focused backend developers who handle similar deployment pipelines.
What You'll Do
