Senior Software Engineer / Python Developer, remote | 1056973

• 7+ years professional Python exp. This is a full time, senior-level engineering opportunity focused on advancing a widely adopted open-source cybersecurity platform used for external reconnaissance and attack surface discovery. The role combines deep Python backend engineering, distributed systems, and open-source community leadership within a highly technical, security-focused environment. Candidates will contribute to scalable scanning architecture, platform reliability, and future commercial product strategy while collaborating with a globally recognized security research and engineering team. Fully Remote Required:

• 7+ years professional Python with substantive async/await experience (asyncio, httpx, websockets, aiohttp or equivalent).
• 3+ years of RUST development experience in a production environment.
• Demonstrable open-source maintenance experience - a visible GitHub history showing pull-request review, release management, and community interaction on a non-trivial project.
• Hands-on experience with at least two of the following security domains: DNS enumeration, subdomain discovery, web reconnaissance, cloud infrastructure enumeration (AWS / Azure / GCP asset discovery), port scanning, certificate-transparency monitoring, or active OSINT tooling.
• Comfort with multiprocess and event-driven architectures - cross-process coordination, graceful shutdown, backpressure handling.
• Python packaging and distribution - Poetry, uv, PyPI publishing, lockfile hygiene.
• Linux, Docker, GitHub Actions - CI/CD fluency.
• Experience with AGPL / GPL-licensed code in a commercial context; what the license does and does not require.
• Excellent written communication - drafting release notes, technical proposals, and respond to community issues in public.

Preferred background:

• Ansible / ansible-runner - ansible to orchestrate external scanner tools; fluency shortens onboarding.
• YARA rules - integrates yara-python for finding-pattern matching.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) familiarity - MCP surface for LLM-agent integration.
• Helm charts / Kubernetes familiarity.
• Previous experience with other security tooling (e.g., Nuclei, recon-ng).
