Belay Technologies has been voted Baltimore Business Journal's (BBJ) Best Places to Work 2019, runner up in 2020 and a finalist in 2021!
Belay Technologies is seeking a Mid-Level Software Engineer to join our intel team. We are seeking a seasoned Software Engineer for development and maintenance of large-scale, distributed web applications. In this role, you will focus on building robust, scalable systems using modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks and Python, while leveraging DevOps automation to manage cloud-native environments. While the primary focus is high-level software architecture and development, our team operates in the offensive cyber space. Candidates who possess a background—or a strong personal interest—in reverse engineering and vulnerability research will find a unique opportunity to apply their engineering rigor to complex security challenges.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain large-scale, distributed web applications using Node.js, TypeScript and Python.
- Architect scalable microservices and backend systems that support high-performance data processing and communication.
- Utilize DevOps automation tools and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaaS) to deploy and manage services in commercial cloud environments.
- Create robust CI/CD pipelines to ensure the continuous delivery of secure and reliable software updates.
- Collaborate with security researchers to integrate engineering best practices into offensive cyber and vulnerability research projects.
- Collaborate with users and analysts to improve tooling and mission capabilities
Candidates should have the following qualifications:
- TS/SCI Clearance with polygraph
- 8 yrs., B.S. in a technical discipline or 4 additional yrs. in place of B.S.
Skills Requirements:
- Experience with professional software development in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
- Knowledge of building and maintaining enterprise-grade, distributed web applications and system architectures.
- Experience with DevOps automation, cloud service providers (e.g., AWS), and Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.
- Knowledge of modern software engineering principles, including version control, testing frameworks, and agile workflows.
- Experience with high-side development environments and non-attributed network configurations.
Nice to Haves:
- Experience or interest in offensive cyber operations, vulnerability research, and software reverse engineering.
