- Engage with customers to capture and refine requirements
- Autonomously develop technical solutions to achieve objectives and required service levels, performance, and economics
- Proactively research and follow industry trends, best practices, and open source projects in security engineering
You need to have:
- 5+ years experience as a senior software engineer, preferably full stack for a mission-critical production system
- Expertise in software development in some combination of Go or Python
- Extensive knowledge in software testing and delivery best practices
- The ability to take ownership and responsibility of issues and handle them effectively to resolution
- BA, BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering or related technology field.
We'd love to see:
- Contributions to Open Source projects especially related to Automation and Security Engineering.
- Knowledge in major Python frameworks like Django, Celery and Javascript based front-end frameworks such as React.js
