Gather - Introduce data points that help customers understand the urgency of issues in their security posture; e.g:
- Reachability analysis - is this dependency used by the customers application
- Supply chain poisoning - has this dependency been tampered with
- Attribution of vulnerabilities - where and when has vulnerability been introduced
Integrate - Provide other groups with the means to take advantage of our innovative collection techniques to deliver better workflows for our customers
Optimize - Solve data correlation at massive scale

Participate in Tier 2 or Tier 3 weekday and weekend and occasional night on-call rotations to assist troubleshooting product operations, security operations, and urgent engineering issues.

What You ll Bring

Professional experience with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL. Experience with Golang is a bonus.
Passion about security
Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical, architectural, and/or organizational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions.
Experience with performance and optimization problems, particularly at large scale, and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems.
