Join our Engineering Services Team
Our engineering services team works closely with commercial customers in tech, defense, and finance on quick-response feature development, security infrastructure deployment troubleshooting, security vulnerability triage and remediation, and bug fixes. We adopt and support the best of open-source security software for our work, and regularly contribute enhancements to these projects as a result.
We enjoy knowing that our work is making an impact and helping to secure organizations all over the world and that we are delivering improvements to software used by thousands. We regularly interact with the open-source community, collaborate with its many talented contributors, and share the opportunity to hear directly from real users.
Role
The primary responsibilities of this role are developing security-focused software and engaging with commercial clients / open-source communities. The focus areas are endpoint security, security agents, host telemetry, security engineering, vulnerability triage and remediation, build systems, logging pipelines, and associated security infrastructure.
Software development will be primarily in C++, with frequent Python, and occasional opportunities to work in Go, Rust, or Swift. The role involves not just maintenance development, but also frequent creative and analytic challenges to design features and review existing implementations with a critical lens.
This is an engineering position, where the focus is to integrate novel features into production systems. It does not involve direct operations like service monitoring and maintenance.
You will typically work in teams of 2-4 people, all from remote locations, in roughly 4-8 week development cycles. Technical leads will assign responsibilities to you and other team members, and you will develop proofs of concept, prototypes, and enhancements to existing tools in support of a project's goals. You will have opportunities to work for a variety of clients throughout a typical year.
Frequent communication with team members and clients is essential to success, and writing about your work publicly is encouraged and incentivized.
This is a fully remote position (travel rarely required).
