• Write, test, and maintain production code, partnering with our SRE team on deployment, monitoring, and release.

• Experience with Git and CI/CD, and enough understanding of containerized deployment to work effectively with SRE teams.
• Fluency with REST APIs, TLS and certificates, and secure coding practices.
• Ability to take a loosely defined problem, propose an approach, and deliver it independently.
• Experience using AI tools to solve real engineering problems, with the judgment to know when the output is wrong.

Requirements

• Experience with Juniper SRX, Palo Alto Networks, Tufin, or Illumio.
• Infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or Kubernetes - AWS networking, IAM, and serverless automation experience.
• Experience automating detections on NDR, IDS, or IPS platforms.
