- Work with existing backend systems to drive REST APIs and workflows via python (flask or fastAPI), relying on a variety of datasources - SQL, NoSQL, and document stores containing more data than one can imagine
- Contribute to existing and new frameworks that allow threat researchers to focus on the threats and engineers (us) focus on the proper tooling to make it all work at scale.
- Partner with other development and business teams to manage dependencies and communicate technical specifications
- Work with existing deployment infrastructure to regularly deploy releases using modern tools such as git and CI/CD (Gitlab CI, Docker, Spinnaker, Kubernetes)
