DefenseStorm | Seattle, WA | Senior Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer/SRE | Full-time | REMOTE or ONSITE https://www.defensestorm.com DefenseStorm is a cybersecurity startup that helps banks and other financial institutions manage the deluge of security data that they produce. We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors. I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 4 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Sales just closed our best quarter ever, and we recently moved into a new office near the ferry terminal with waterfront views! Currently our engineering team is fully remote for COVID and are conducting interviews remotely. For software engineers - we use AngularJS/Angular (upgrade in progress), Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is a 1-hour phone call, followed by ~4 hours in-person - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles). For DevOps, we are looking to add a third SRE to improve our bus factor, help manage our Elasticsearch cluster hosted on AWS, use Terraform and Chef to keep our Java microservice architecture happy, and otherwise make our systems run smoothly and securely. Our stack includes AWS, Elasticsearch, Terraform, Chef, Sensu, InfluxDB, Postgresql, and Phabricator. Ideal candidates will have some experience in several of these and be good at grokking docs to quickly get up to speed on the ones they haven't used.
