Job description

At CyberMaxx, we believe it is our duty to defend against those committed to wide-scale societal disruption through cyberattacks.
We help our customers reduce risk by tightly integrating MDR with offensive security, threat hunting, security research, and digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) to continually adapt to new and evolving threats. Our modern MDR (Managed Detection & Response) approach is tailored to the unique characteristics and risk factors of each customer, enabling us to take full ownership of the response process and, optionally, manage key security controls. By thinking like an adversary and defending like a guardian, we help our customers stay a step ahead of threat actors.
At CyberMaxx, we value humility, transparency, intellectual curiosity, and a customer first approach.
We seek to hire a Senior Python Developer who will be responsible for designing and building novel tools in the cybersecurity SOAR and SIEM space, utilized by our clients and security analysts to detect and mitigate real security threats every day. As a cybersecurity company, we work with large and complex datasets, that require efficient and effective algorithms to detect anomalies in those datasets, as well as correlate and present those detections as actionable information to our team of security analysts. Experience with data science / engineering is expected, and experience with ML and AI in TensorFlow / Keras is a plus.
Additionally, we have numerous internal and external toolsets for every sector of our business. You will be expected to build and maintain Django APIs, as well as backend application support for these toolsets, including database integration in MySQL, and new tools as required.
As an innovative startup in the cybersecurity sector, we pride ourselves in developing in-house solutions, bespoke to our needs. This opens the door to greater flexibility and creativity in both functionality and design. Our ideal candidate is someone who takes genuine pride in their work and appreciates being able to take an idea and shape it according to their vision.
What You Will Do:
  • Work with development team and other department leads to outline scopes of and design new toolsets
  • Create intelligible plans for how tools will be implemented, including documentation and diagrams as necessary, to aid in team collaboration
  • Refine plans to meet team requirements and implement them into functional, structured, and efficient applications
  • Identify inefficiencies and counterintuitive elements of current toolsets and offer practical solutions
  • Implement redesigns of existing toolsets to improve performance, compatibility, stability, and/or implement additional features
  • Complete and review documentation for projects or any operational effort
  • Provide system performance monitoring and troubleshooting
  • Maintain current knowledge of relevant technology as assigned
  • Other activities as assigned

What We Are Looking For:
  • 5+ years experience with Python3
  • 2+ years experience with MySQL or comparable SQL DBMS
  • Proficiency with RESTful APIs, including integrations with Python's "requests" library
  • 1+ year of experience with Data Science / Engineering / Statistics
  • Experience with Django is a plus

Qualifications:
  • Education: Completion of a Bachelor's or higher post-graduate degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent relevant field.
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in professional python development positions, with an understanding of security best practices.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python 3, strong experience with RESTful APIs and SQL (MySQL preferred), and a strong foundation in Data Science.
  • Certifications: Relevant certifications in development, DevOps and Agile methodologies, or security are a plus.
  • Portfolio: Applicants with portfolios and/or Git repositories will be considered first.

Some Of What We Offer
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
  • 401k with a company match
  • Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage
  • Voluntary Short Term and Long-Term Disability
  • Employee Assistance Program with Mental Health Supplement
  • Voluntary Basic, Accidental, and other ancillary life insurance
  • Health Savings Account Contribution (with selection of a HDHP)
  • 10 annual, paid holidays
