Job description

About the Role

This position is ideal for a talented developer with skills in Python Django who wants to transition into a more security-focused role. You’ll work on a variety of tools—both open and closed source—collaborating with a team of experienced engineers to develop, maintain, and enhance our tooling.

You’ll be hands-on with cutting-edge DevSecOps technologies, working alongside senior engineers on diverse projects that span development, operations, and security. This role offers a unique opportunity to build a highly sought-after, niche skill set at the intersection of these disciplines.

Potential progression within this role includes the opportunity for upskilling into WebApp penetration testing, with training and qualifications available to support this progression.
