About The Position

At CyberMaxx, we believe it is our duty to defend against those committed to wide-scale societal disruption through cyberattacks. We help our customers reduce risk by tightly integrating MDR with offensive security, threat hunting, security research, and digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) to continually adapt to new and evolving threats. Our modern MDR (Managed Detection & Response) approach is tailored to the unique characteristics and risk factors of each customer, enabling us to take full ownership of the response process and, optionally, manage key security controls. By thinking like an adversary and defending like a guardian, we help our customers stay a step ahead of threat actors. At CyberMaxx, we value humility, transparency, intellectual curiosity, and a customer first approach. We seek to hire a Senior Python Developer who will be responsible for designing and building novel tools in the cybersecurity SOAR and SIEM space, utilized by our clients and security analysts to detect and mitigate real security threats every day. As a cybersecurity company, we work with large and complex datasets, that require efficient and effective algorithms to detect anomalies in those datasets, as well as correlate and present those detections as actionable information to our team of security analysts. Experience with data science / engineering is expected, and experience with ML and AI in TensorFlow / Keras is a plus. Additionally, we have numerous internal and external toolsets for every sector of our business. You will be expected to build and maintain Django APIs, as well as backend application support for these toolsets, including database integration in MySQL, and new tools as required. As an innovative startup in the cybersecurity sector, we pride ourselves in developing in-house solutions, bespoke to our needs. This opens the door to greater flexibility and creativity in both functionality and design. Our ideal candidate is someone who takes genuine pride in their work and appreciates being able to take an idea and shape it according to their vision.
