  • Work with external partners to develop CIS benchmarks
  • Design and develop hardening automation for Ubuntu
  • Monitor the security industry for new developments
  • Develop, test and maintain new software capabilities

  • Drive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectations
  • A thorough understanding of the common categories of security vulnerabilities
  • Modern engineering techniques to find and fix them
  • Familiarity with open source development tools and methodologies
  • Skill in one or more of C, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby or PHP

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments
