  • Demonstrated technical leadership across team boundaries.
  • Judgment about production quality and when a system is ready to ship.

Nice to have

  • A background in security operations or security engineering.
  • Experience with detection-as-code or rule- and DSL-driven systems.

  • Ruby on Rails experience.

What you get

  • 100% remote work environment
  • Generous paid time off policy
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave
