\opening{Dear Hiring Manager for the Senior Java Engineer - Security Position:}
|
|
|
|
\noindent I found your open Senior Java Engineer position through the
|
|
LinkedIn job boards and am applying because this role aligns with my
|
|
future goals as a software engineer. I've recently transitioned to a lead role within a DevOps group as part of a long term inititive to align the operations team with the technical architecture team. As a result of that role change I've been responsible for the analysis, triaging, and assignment of security issues to domain teams. I've also, spent time with architecture tackling Zero Downtime and long term data archival needs for the platform. Security is a complicated field, and often a series of innocuous choices lead to a vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
\noindent Over my last 8 years as a professional software engineer I have worked my way through testing, development, mentoring and leading positions at a variety of companies that specialize in unique market segments. In my most recent role, we've become dedicated users of Elastic products and I've come to appreciate the possabilities that ElasticSearch, Logstash, and Kibanna provide to search, consume, and visualize disparate sources of data in meaningful ways. I'd love to have an opportunity to become a member of the team involved in the production of the Elasticsearch component.
