You will be working with the team to take on projects which identify security vulnerabilities from many sources, automatically build security into our product, and provide a paved road for engineering teams to produce secure software.

3. Which tools and what guidance can we provide developers to ensure that they are able to peer review code in the most effective manner?
4. How do we encourage developers to seamlessly consider and continuously think about security?
