WHO WE ARE

We are Cisco Secure Common Services Engineering, a team of cybersecurity experts and innovative engineers who support the products and developers across Cisco Security. We put our people first, we take ambitious steps together, and we value clarity each step of the way.

We're adding a dedicated member to our growing team who will help us take Platform and Security to the next level because we believe that there is always room for growth. In this role you will be part of a team that is building a unified API Management platform for Cisco Secure Products fostering API-first culture.

WHO YOU ARE

To be successful in this role, you'd be a role model who exemplifies our culture and adopts our product principles. These include:

• Simplify. To quote Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars "Simplify, then add lightness"
• Adapt quickly
• Constantly improve
• Design products people [really] love
• Obsessing over the customer

Taking cues from the very first "Software Engineer", Margaret Hamilton, you apply a scientifically rational approach to problem solving. You use empirical learning and discovery to advise your thinking. You don't like surprises in your code, and through design, reduce their probability - but when they do happen, you learn together as a team and move forward.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Planning at the quarter and sprint level
• Reviewing code (PRs)
• Working closely with UX designers to create appealing sophisticated simple to use experiences.
• Staying on top of code-health
• Diagnosing production issues

• Proven experience in implementing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices 1+ year of hands-on experience in setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Demonstrated experience developing large-scale web apps and fine-tuning them for performance and scalability
• Demonstrated experience developing cloud-native applications
• Familiarity with secure development practices - e.g., mitigating the OWASP Top Ten

Why Cisco?

#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters - with people like you!

Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We're the Internet's optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it's not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We're helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We're helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise.

We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other's backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another - from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).

We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way. Together we're committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.

So, you have colorful hair? Don't care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That's cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco
