Senior Software Engineer, ASM

Location: 

This position can be remote within the United States or Canada. 

Role Summary: 

Censys is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our ASM team. Our ASM Platform is a growth product for Censys and it relies on us having a world-class architecture to provide customers the most real-time solution in the industry. We’re looking for an engineer that can build and extend large-scale, real-time streaming services and applications which leverage our massive datasets to power internal product APIs and external applications. We expect all of our employees to consider customer happiness as our primary goal and a willingness to come to work every day with a great attitude, both eager to learn and educate, which helps to make us a better organization every day.

What you’ll do:

• Among other things, you will own our Cloud Connectors that are responsible for bringing valuable data into the customer’s attack surface, as well as the Integrations framework that is used to notify customers of any urgent risks and generally integrate into their business ecosystem to help customers reduce their exposure to potential attacks. 
• You will be using and exploring multiple technologies, often being the first to try a new platform or architectural design.
• Design automated solutions for building, testing, monitoring, and deploying applications in a Continuous Integration (CI) and continuous Delivery (CD) environment.
• Maintain a strong customer focus, prioritizing customer feature requests and helping define the ASM roadmap.

What you’ll bring:

• A positive attitude biased towards action and iterative problem solving, learning as we grow every step of the way.
• A deep understanding of how the Internet works. For example, WHOIS, Certificate Subject Alternative Names (SANs), and DNS record types should not be foreign to you.
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
• 3+ years of experience with Golang.
• Experience with REST/gRPC and service-oriented architectures.
• Distributed systems experience: Ability to build horizontally scalable systems, with a high degree of availability and fault-tolerance leveraging techniques such as distributed locking, load-shedding, etc.
• The ability to thoughtfully participate in technical discussions and drive towards data-driven decisions amidst ambiguity and competing priorities.
• Strong communication and documentation skills. Explaining complex technical concepts to other engineers, designers, salespeople, and content marketers is no problem for you.

Skills that set you apart:

• You have experience with microservice-based designs with GCP PubSub, etc, and know their tradeoffs.
• Experience building, deploying, and maintaining containerized services in a Kubernetes based environment.
• Familiarity with common web programming languages such as TypeScript and JavaScript, and proficiency with React is a plus
• You understand the value of building maintainable software. Some of your first tasks when building a new service are ensuring test coverage enforced by CI, adding linters, and adding code complexity checks. You enjoy a good abstraction, and promote established design patterns, but also know when to think outside the box.
