Senior Software Engineer, Cyber Range
About The Position
As a Senior Software Engineer on our Range Operations Team, you will provide deep expertise in microservices, event-driven messaging systems, and containerization to architect the next generation of high-fidelity simulation. You are a technically fearless developer who thrives on solving hard problems in new ways. In this role, you will go beyond maintaining infrastructure—you will invent it. You will lead the development of bespoke, hybrid solutions that generate realistic simulated traffic across a complex ecosystem—from IoT systems and local software to modern SaaS platforms and cloud-native environments. By leveraging AI, LLM, and advanced API capabilities, you will drive technical innovations that simulate real-life cyber attacks and human-user personas with unprecedented realism and cutting edge technologies. You will act as a force multiplier for the team, guiding best coding practices and system architecture to ensure our engineering standards remain exemplary.
Requirements
- 6+ years of hands-on experience in software development with a strong focus on building large-scale, distributed systems.
- Expertise in an OOP-based language such as Java, Kotlin, or Python, with a demonstrable understanding of API design (HTTP/S, REST, OAuth, SAML).
- Proficiency in leveraging AI, LLM, and API capabilities to solve complex automation and simulation challenges.
- Proven experience with unit/integration testing and deploying services in Kubernetes or similar container orchestration platforms.
- Proficiency with tools including Terraform, Ansible, and puppet to manage virtualized platforms (e.g., VMware).
- Experience working within or developing for air-gapped environments.
