BitSight is looking for a Software Engineer to join our engineering team. We pride ourselves on building exceptional career opportunities and offering outstanding benefits to our team. We have the enthusiasm of a start-up but the structure and solidity of a mature industry leader.
BitSight’s mission is to make the online world safer by helping governments, companies, and NGOs understand and mitigate their cybersecurity risks. Ours is an internet-scale challenge - we track every IP address, every piece of malware, and a good portion of the world’s internet traffic.
BitSight’s data pipeline is the core of our Security Ratings product. We ingest security-related intelligence data from over 100 sources, feed terabytes of data into a proprietary rating algorithm, and deliver ratings for over 800,000 organizations on a daily basis. Built on the highly scalable AWS ecosystem, our pipeline code base meets the highest standards of reliability and scalability to deliver consistent, actionable, intuitive, and responsive ratings to the customer.
We are looking for developers passionate about building software to collect, aggregate, and analyze data at scale using continuous incremental development methodologies. Working with a close-knit team across multiple locations, you will help us build and evolve our large volume data processing engine. You will bring actionable security insights to the customer through implementing new features and refining the rating algorithm. Collaborating with data science and research teams, you will build trust with BitSight customers in the quality and integrity of our data.
Apart from domain skills, we truly value strong generalists: those with the critical thinking skills to use a variety of technologies and languages and pick up new concepts when needed. Strong collaboration skills are a must. We offer an opportunity to make a unique impact, not just as an individual but on the entire engineering team.
