Software Engineer

Company overview:

Government contractors use our services to prepare for CMMC assessments and NIST 800-171 compliance. Based in Greenville, Talus Cybersecurity also trains client staff and runs simulated phishing campaigns. We started in 2000 and have grown to about 160 people.

The position:

The Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

What you'll be doing:

• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review

About you:

• 2+ years of professional software development experience
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests

Why work with us:

• Company laptop
• Monthly internet allowance

We review applications on a rolling basis.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Immediately.
