Basic security tests. I was hired as a full stack dev then moved to "Sr Security Lead" after writing a lot of tests that exposed bugs and squashed them before they became problems. I don't really consider myself any kind of infosec person but nobody else was doing it so I got the position.
Edit: one previous job here locally I did the same tests and exposed bugs weekly on my own time, fixed countless authentication bypasses, and plugged a memory leak that had been slowing down the app for years before I was hired and when I asked for a raise or meaningful options the department manager gave me an unbelievable speech about how they don't like workers with only financial goals in mind, said I had no passion for what they were building if money was my motivation and suggested I quit. This was one of the top Vancouver tech industry outfits constantly shilled in the media. My salary at the time was $70k (2013).
