 Employment Opportunities for Java/.NET Programmers and pen-testers

The Internal Revenue Service IT Security Architecture and Engineering's
Advanced Technical Analysis Team (ITSAE@@) has "Immediate Hire" authority
to hire programmers who have very competent to outstanding skills in Java or
.NET environments and equally qualified penetration testers.

Programmers would be trained in application security using the a
combination of their skills and the latest static source code analysis tools
(Fortify, Ounce Labs, Klocwork, Code Sonar).

Pen-testers would focus on dynamic application-focused testing using a
combination of their skills and the latest application-focused penetration
tools (Hailstorm, Metasploit, etc.).

ITSAE provides security architectural and engineering support to the
project teams working on hundreds of annual IT project at the IRS.  We focus
on creating the security that the FISMA certification and accreditation
process documents.  We are NOT a documentation team, but work directly with
IT project teams to provide knowledge, recommendations, and risk
assessments.  If you've ever wanted to do security engineering that actually
results in improved security, this is it!

ITSAE is in the process of standing up an Advanced Technical Analysis
Team, whose purpose will be to provide "in-development" and
"pre-implementation" security artifact assessment, analyzing software
architectures and implementations from requirements through design, tool and
product specification, coding, installation, and user configuration.  This
Team will perform static source code security assessments, application
focused penetration testing, recommend architectural and implementation
mitigations, and assess residual risk in finished products.

This is a very collegial organization of highly skilled individuals where
knowledge is the "coin of the realm."  We may be the highest ranking
collection of non-manager wire heads and bit-twiddlers in the IRS and maybe
the whole federal government.

The truth of the above statement is reflected in the hiring levels for the
positions mentioned above.  We are looking for two GS-14s and two GS-15s
with hiring level determined by applicant skill levels.  The normal federal
employment background check is required.

Work location would be at the New Carrollton Federal Building (NCFB) in
Lanham, Maryland.  The complex is directly adjacent to the Washington New
Carrollton Metro Station.  The job includes a Public Transportation Subsidy
Program.

Resumes should be submitted ASAP to James.R.Lindley () irs gov.

Thanx for your time.
