There are some development jobs in security, which would obviously be an ideal position as you could leverage 100% of your skills. That's how I got my role. Some larger companies will have development teams that create tools for their security org. Also, every security company out there - Mandiant, CrowdStrike, Kaspersky, etc hires developers all over the place. That would be a good spot to get a start. Past that, there are a couple of possible options. Larger companies will also have Threat Intel teams and those teams may work on custom solutions and require developers to help them with it. But it may be sort of tough to find a role without any security knowledge. If you have a good amount of system admin knowledge, you could also look an Analyst role, and work as someone who responds to security alerts for an org. The problem is that you will likely take a pay cut for this type of role. The more senior level roles would probably pay you similar to what you're making now (I think), but that'll be 3-7 years of work. |
