Script Reading Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

We’re looking for a Security Software Developer to join the networking device development team behind Evertz IP switch fabric products, including the EXE and NATX, and Evertz SDI router products, including the NEXX and ENX platforms. In this role, you’ll be responsible for ensuring our products meet the security requirements of the NDcPP (Network Device collaborative Protection Profile) under the Common Criteria certification framework. You’ll work across the codebase to implement security features, stay ahead of vulnerabilities, and support the CI/CD infrastructure that keeps the team moving.

• Review and interpret security requirements for NDcPP (Common Criteria) certifications, which occur periodically every few years, and translate them into actionable development tasks.
• Implement and update product software to satisfy evolving security certification requirements — including cryptography, certificate management, authentication, audit logging, and access control — through a mix of C/C++ and Python/Bash development, package patching, and configuration changes as needed.
• Harden the embedded Linux environment, including managing firewall rules (iptables), disabling insecure services and defaults, configuring secure boot, and enforcing least-privilege port policies.
• Secure and configure network management protocols such as SSH, SNMPv3, syslog over TLS, NTP authentication, and HTTPS in line with certification requirements.
• Periodically upgrade the embedded Linux OS and its associated packages to maintain security compliance and long-term supportability.
• Regularly monitor CVE reports and security advisories, and address identified vulnerabilities by backporting upstream patches, updating dependent packages, or applying fixes to existing product revisions.
• Contribute to formal security certification documentation, including CC Security Guides, Security Targets, and related evaluation deliverables.
• Develop and maintain utility scripts in Python and Bash to support security workflows, testing, and automation.
• Contribute to the maintenance of the team’s Jenkins CI infrastructure as needed, including updating Jenkins packages and plugins, maintaining build scripts (Python/Bash), and occasional triage of build failures. This responsibility is shared across the team based on workload and availability.

• Diploma or degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• 1–2 years of experience with C/C++ development.
• 1–2 years of experience with Python and Bash scripting.
• Ability to read and interpret security standards, protection profiles, or compliance documentation.
• Familiarity with common security concepts such as TLS/SSL, x.509 certificates, authentication mechanisms, and cryptographic protocols.
• Basic understanding of Linux security management, including firewall configuration, service hardening, and user/permission management.
• Familiarity with securing network management protocols (SSH, SNMP, syslog, NTP, HTTPS).
• Experience tracking CVEs or security advisories and applying upstream patches or fixes.
• Experience with Jenkins or similar CI/CD tools.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail when working with security-sensitive code.
• A willingness to learn new technologies and take ownership of improving existing designs, processes, and tools for the betterment of the product and the team.

• Prior experience with Common Criteria, NDcPP, or FIPS certification processes, including contributing to evaluation documentation.
• Familiarity with embedded Linux build systems (e.g., Buildroot, Yocto) and package management in embedded environments.
• Experience with secure coding practices in C/C++ (memory safety, input validation, privilege management).
• Awareness of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) concepts and emerging standards.
• Familiarity with version control systems (Git, Subversion).
• CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Linux+, or similar industry certifications.
