Staff Cyber Software Engineer

Role Overview

• Write and Own Production Code: Design, develop, test, and maintain high-quality software in Python (required) and Golang (preferred) that enables cybersecurity capabilities and drives security outcomes at enterprise scale.
• Build Security Automation: Identify manual, repetitive, or error-prone security workflows and replace them with reliable, well-tested automation — reducing toil and increasing the speed and consistency of security operations.
• Apply Strong Object-Oriented Engineering: Write clean, maintainable, and testable code using proven OOP design patterns and SOLID principles; take ownership of code quality, test coverage, and the long-term health of what you build.
• Solve Hard Problems: Dig into complex technical and security challenges — from detection pipeline performance to data ingestion at scale — and deliver well-reasoned, pragmatic solutions that hold up in production.
• Contribute Actively in Agile: Be a reliable, high-output contributor in a fast-moving agile squad: write code every sprint, participate in design discussions, engage in code reviews, and help the team move forward with quality and speed.
• Build Scalable, Reliable Systems: Develop services and pipelines that are secure, fault-tolerant, and performant — built with distributed systems best practices and cloud-native infrastructure in mind.
• Integrate with DevOps Tooling: Embed software within CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, Ansible), and instrument work with observability platforms (Grafana, Prometheus).
• Leverage Open Source: Evaluate, adopt, and integrate open-source frameworks, security libraries, and tooling to accelerate delivery and avoid reinventing the wheel.
• Explore AI/ML & LLMs (Plus): Apply knowledge of AI/ML development, large language models (LLMs), or generative AI to identify practical opportunities that accelerate security workflows, automate threat analysis, or improve detection capabilities.
• Share Knowledge: Participate in code reviews, contribute to technical discussions, and share what you know — not as a formal leadership obligation, but because great engineers make the people around them better.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software development experience, with strong Python production experience required.
• 6+ years building backend systems, platform tooling, security automation, or similar.
• 4+ years working in cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• 3+ years delivering within agile teams in a high-velocity environment.
• Golang hands-on development experience is a strong differentiator.
• Experience with AI/ML development, LLMs, or generative AI tooling is a meaningful plus.
• Security engineering, DevSecOps, or cybersecurity tooling experience is a plus.
• Experience working with audit or compliance teams is a plus.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
