Network Security Engineer

The basics:

You’ll be working closely with our engineering teams to bring cutting-edge research results to our products. This role requires experience with network security technology and/or analytic workflows — the workings of packet analysis, DPI, IDSs/IPSs, NGFW and common network protocols should be one of your ice breakers in social settings 😀 . You’ll leverage our capabilities to develop and enhance security features of our product set.  This role presents a great opportunity to contribute applied research with our streaming technologies to provide awareness and methodologies for strengthening security posture. This role should explore public speaking opportunities to evangelize emerging security processes.

What you'll do:

  • Design and build architectural improvements to MantisNet software products 
  • Assist in implementing R&D designs
  • Test and evaluate new features, e.g. to determine effects on performance and resource consumption

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • 2+ years of software development on Unix-style platforms
  • 2+ years of hands-on engineering experience in the network security domain
  • Strong familiarity with common network security toolchains and network protocols
  • Experience programming in at least one popular systems-oriented programming language (such as Python, Go, C, or C++, the latter preferred)
  • Experience with Unix shell scripting (such as bash)

Preferred experience: 

  • Experience with the implementation of network analysis task in existing monitoring infrastructure
  • Familiarity with Splunk, Elastic, SolarWinds or other analytic tools
  • Familiarity with typical Linux troubleshooting and performance evaluation toolchains
  • Familiarity with the design and operation of fleets of sensor-style products
  • Experience with common open source development work flows and tools (such as Git/GitHub/GitLab, make, CMake, or CI systems)
