What You Will Do

• Lead initiatives related to deployment, scaling, monitoring, and enhancing the backend services, pipelines, and infrastructure supporting GreyNoise’s deception technologies.
• Work as a member of the team of engineers responsible for GreyNoise’s sensor and core networking technologies.
• Develop new capabilities to enable wider and more diverse deception profile deployment in a scalable, observable, and modular fashion, combining software engineering and infrastructure management skillsets.
• Collaborate with the GreyNoise research team to support their deception profile development efforts.
• Support development efforts on our sensor and core networking technologies using Go and Rust.
• Participate in an on-call rotation helping triage on-call tickets, prioritize and unblock team members, and guide sprint planning to drive effective execution.
• Debug and troubleshoot complex production issues across multiple systems, leveraging strong analytical skills and attention to detail.

What You Will Bring

• Proven experience leading technical projects and helping teams navigate competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• A structured approach to triaging issues: the ability to quickly assess, prioritize, and delegate or resolve problems during on-call rotations.
• Strong debugging skills, including the ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across APIs, integrations, and distributed systems.
• 5+ years of production software engineering experience, including:
• Developing and maintaining high-throughput networked backend services and REST APIs
• Working with Go (Golang) for backend development.
• Managing cloud-based infrastructure using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation
• Designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using Github Actions.
• Experience designing modular OS images and managing build artifacts
• Familiarity with containerization, process jailing, and virtual-machine isolation technologies
• Knowledge of common networking protocols and networked services
• A firm understanding of the networking layers encompassing the OSI model
• A collaborative and communicative mindset, with a willingness to engage across teams and disciplines to deliver customer value.

Nice to Haves

• Experience building integration platforms with support for external contribution.
• Experience using Rust.
• Knowledge of monitoring and logging tools to improve observability (e.g. Grafana, Honeycomb, CloudWatch).
• Experience managing event-driven application architectures using technologies like Kafka
• Awareness of anti-virus evasion techniques and how to incorporate these concepts into OS level monitoring.
• Experience with delivering data to customers through APIs, SDKs, or other data integration methods.
• Strong interest in customer success and the ability to translate technical requirements into impactful solutions.

A Few of Our Engineering Principles

• Readability of code is judged by the reviewer, not the author
• Deliver fast, deliver often
• Tech is cheap, don't be afraid to throw it away
• Write tests to ensure stability and trust in the system
• Don’t be afraid to change anything that already exists
• Slow is smooth and smooth is fast
• Distinguish internal customers from external customers
• Technical compromises are good
• Utility and adoption are factored into the success criteria of all prototypes
