Software Engineer II - Java

at  Rapid7

ABOUT THE TEAM

We are part of the SOAR practice. SOAR stands for “Security Orchestration, Automation and Response”: it is a product that receives signals from a multitude of security tools, and based on such signals it can automatically take actions that would normally be performed by security analysts. This automation saves countless hours to security analysts, who can focus on issues that require human intelligence and creativity.
We are a full-stack team, meaning that the team can take care of both backend and frontend. This does not mean that everyone in the team is a full-stack developer.
Our back-end stack includes Java, Kotlin, Golang, and some Python. Our components run in AWS, and we have a mix of modular monoliths and services.

ABOUT YOUR SKILLS AND BACKGROUND

• Good competence with Java and Spring - the level that is usually acquired in 2 to 4 years on the job - knowing Golang is an advantage
• Excited by technology, curious and eager to learn
• Keen to contribute to a growing code base and overcome interesting technical challenges
• Team player: you will cooperate with people from different teams, not just the SOAR ones
• Strong problem solving skills
  While a background in cybersecurity is not required, we hope you have an interest in this field.
  We know that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams. That’s because these teams reflect a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. If you are excited about this role and feel your experience can make an impact, please don’t be shy - apply today.

As a software engineer level 2, you will work in an agile team (inspired by scrum, but not religious about it) :

• developing features
• fixing bugs
• reviewing pull-requests
• releasing to our cloud environments (including production)
• participating in the on-call rotation
• contributing to the evolving architecture of our product
