We are seeking a seasoned Software Engineer for the development and maintenance of large-scale, distributed web applications. In this role, you will focus on building robust, scalable systems using modern JavaScript/Type Script frameworks and Python, while leveraging Dev Ops automation to manage cloud-native environments.

While the primary focus is high-level software architecture and development, this team operates in the offensive cyber space. Candidates with a background — or a strong personal interest — in reverse engineering and vulnerability research will find a unique opportunity to apply their engineering rigor to complex security challenges.

• Develop and maintain large-scale, distributed web applications using Node.js, Type Script, and Python.
• Architect scalable microservices and backend systems that support high-performance data processing and communication.
• Use Dev Ops automation tools and Infrastructure-as-Code to deploy and manage services in commercial cloud environments.
• Build robust CI/CD pipelines to ensure the continuous delivery of secure and reliable software updates.
• Collaborate with security researchers to integrate engineering best practices into offensive cyber and vulnerability research projects.
• Collaborate with users and analysts to improve tooling and operational capabilities.

• Professional software development experience in JavaScript, Type Script, and Python.
• Knowledge of building and maintaining enterprise-grade, distributed web applications and system architectures.
• Experience with Dev Ops automation, cloud service providers (e.g., AWS), and Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.
• Knowledge of modern software engineering principles, including version control, testing frameworks, and agile workflows.
• Experience with secure development environments and non-attributed network configurations.

• Experience or interest in offensive cyber operations, vulnerability research, and software reverse engineering.
• Knowledge of Android application architecture and experience or interest in mobile vulnerability research.
• Experience with low-level programming in C/C++ and use of debuggers such as gdb or similar tools.

Salary is determined by multiple factors, including location, education, experience, skills, and organizational requirements. The projected compensation range for this position is $160,000 – $190,000 (annualized USD).
