  • Utilize DevOps automation tools and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaaS) to deploy and manage services in commercial cloud environments.
  • Create 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 mission capabilities

Qualifications

  • Experience with professional software development 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 high-side development environments and non-attributed network configurations.

  • Experience or interest in offensive cyber operations, vulnerability research, and software reverse engineering.
