About Censys

At Censys, our mission is to bring internet visibility and intelligence to the world’s security teams. Our platform not only identifies potential threats but provides actionable insights and enables proactive defense strategies. Founded by researchers and practitioners, we are deeply committed to the quality, trustworthiness, and transparency of our data and results. As our own strongest critics, we continuously innovate to better understand the Internet and empower our customers with the visibility they need to succeed.

Role Summary

We’re seeking a Software Engineer, Distributed Systems to join our team. Our Internet Intelligence Platform is the growth product for Censys and it relies on us processing and analyzing billions of Internet telemetry data points. The candidate will possess the drive to learn about cybersecurity and build out data pipelines.

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.

Why Censys Sticks Out

  • Humble Brilliance: We celebrate intelligence and foster a culture where tackling cybersecurity challenges is exciting and rewarding.
  • A Mosaic of Minds: Our diverse team brings together various talents and backgrounds, fostering true innovation through diverse perspectives.
  • Thinkers and Tinkerers: At Censys, we encourage questioning the status quo, experimenting, and pushing boundaries to drive breakthroughs.
  • Coffee-Fueled Collaboration: Collaboration is at the heart of our success, fueled by a shared passion for disrupting the cybersecurity scene.
  • Trailblazing Impact: Your innovations at Censys make waves in real-world cybersecurity, shaping the future and leaving a lasting legacy.
  • Life Beyond the Firewall: We prioritize work-life balance and support your well-being inside and outside the office.
  • Empowered Voices: Your voice matters at Censys; we champion an inclusive culture where diverse perspectives drive change.

What You’ll Do

  • Use your drive and curiosity to learn about data pipelining in multiple cybersecurity contexts.
  • Build and maintain data pipelining solutions including both streaming and batch workloads.
  • Use and explore multiple technologies, often being the first to try a new platform or architectural design.
  • Develop a high regard for writing automated tests and setting up monitoring for your work.
  • Maintain a strong customer focus, prioritizing customer feature requests and helping define our roadmap.

What You’ll Bring

  • A positive attitude biased towards action and iterative problem solving, learning as we grow every step of the way.
  • 2+ years of experience with common data-oriented programming languages, such as Golang, Python, and Scala.
  • 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

  • Experience with multiple streaming and batch processing solutions such as Spark, Flink, GCP Dataproc, microservice-based designs with GCP PubSub, etc.
  • Understanding 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.
  • Enjoy a good abstraction, and promote established design patterns, but also know when to think outside the box.

Compensation and Benefits

Our target salary range for this role is between $125,000.00 - $150,000.00 USD + bonus eligibility and equity.

In addition to our great compensation package, our benefits are effective on day one and include but are not limited to 401k match, health, vision, dental, and more! Please see our careers page for more details.

You may be exactly who we need to fill this role or others!
