Description

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/TypeScript frameworks and Python, while leveraging DevOps 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.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain large-scale, distributed web applications using Node.js, TypeScript, and Python.

• Architect scalable microservices and backend systems that support high-performance data processing and communication.

• Use DevOps 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.

Skills Requirements

• Professional software development experience in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.

• Knowledge of building and maintaining enterprise-grade, distributed web applications and system architectures.

• Experience with DevOps 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.

Nice to Haves

• 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.
