This article is a really brief primer on this line of work. A lot of it is working with Python, JavaScript, APIs, and building custom solutions to get different COTS security tools and things like Jira to talk to each other. It may not be for everyone but I really enjoy it.
There is a huge shortage of developers on corporate information security teams. Many organizations' CorpSec teams spend an egregious amount of time toiling in manual processes. In infosec, that is why you constantly hear of burnout.
If you wanted to switch into information security as a developer, many well-paying, well-known orgs would welcome you in with open arms in some kind of automation developer role. I have never felt better about my job prospects.
