Senior Software Engineer, DAIT
HUMAN was founded in 2012 in a Brooklyn sci-fi bookstore by Tamer Hassan, Michael Tiffany, Dan Kaminsky, and Ash Kalb. Our humble beginnings led to the creation of the Human Verification Engine, the backbone of all our products that protect enterprises from sophisticated bots. Today we verify the humanity of more than 15 trillion interactions per week for some of the largest companies and internet platforms across the internet.
Our hacker roots still permeate everything we do. You will be a part of the HUMAN front line in our commitment to helping protect companies (and in turn, their customers) from both revenue and reputation risk caused by malicious bots. However, HUMAN is not the center of this story. Humans like yourself are. We firmly believe in putting people first. This approach spans our extensive benefits and day-to-day culture in order for every human to do the best work of their life. We want to hear about the marathon you’re training for. We want to see pictures of your pets. We want to know your favorite robot (we have many).
The HUMAN R&D team is pivotal to our mission to protect the heart of the internet by disrupting the economics of cybercrime. They are the ones uncovering and fighting bot operations like PARETO, ICEBUCKET, 3ve, and Methbot. HUMAN supports our R&D humans by strongly valuing deep work and flexibility. Company-wide meeting-free Fridays give you uninterrupted time to work on your projects. Additionally, this team is encouraged to participate in R&D Research Friday - a designated half-day each week dedicated to trying new ideas and personal career development. HUMAN is fully committed to flexible working arrangements, or as we call it, work from anywhere, anytime. All of this is to ensure our humans are able to do the best work of their lives.
We want to work with people like you who break down problems to build up better solutions. That’s what makes us HUMAN.
You will be part of the DAIT (Detection Analysis and Investigation Tools) team. The adversaries HUMAN encounters in our day-to-day aren't just bedroom hackers. They are technically adept and savvy fraudsters, operating at a scale and agility that makes their 'enterprise' profitable. Therefore, our detection team needs the support of experienced software engineers who build quality systems that are resilient to change. We are the team that supports internal detection teams to perform their job at their best.
What you will do:
- We are a Software engineering team. You will be responsible for designing, planning, creating, and maintaining software.
- Our customers are internal. You will wear multiple hats, reaching out to our customers to understand their needs, gathering requirements, and ensure that your work aligns with what they do.
- We have an open and flat organization. You will provide feedback, generate movement, help the team and the company to improve how it operates.
- Keep on learning. Our customers work in different ecosystems, and you will learn something new every day.
- Be exposed to a lot of different things. You will be doing data ingestion, high-volume pipeline control, machine-learning-based tools, automated monitoring, web-services; all with resilience and robustness at their core.
Who you are:
- You are a Software Engineer. You consider yourself a software engineer, you love to code, you love to develop and run software.
- You know Python. You speak Python as a second language. You love the language and have opinions on what is "Pythonic" and what isn't.
- Even better, you have exposure to a Javascript-based frontend. If you don’t, you are willing to learn.
- You love automation and you hate busywork. That is, the idea of repeating the same task twice horrifies you.
- You know that everything is possible, and you're excited about assuming different roles and working on different things. However, you're experienced enough to identify good ideas from bad, and you protect your precious time in order to focus on building what matters.
Does this sound fun? Then let's have a chat, and start building your Cybersecurity career.
Life at HUMAN:
HUMAN prides itself on being an equal opportunity workplace. We firmly believe in putting people first regardless of who you are, where you come from, how you identify, or who your favorite robot is (we have many). We are on a mission to protect the integrity of the internet for everyone, so we welcome all individuals to come to share their unique experiences and perspectives as we fight against cybercrime together!
With Humans located in all parts of the world, we’ve fully embraced our diversity of thought and are always looking for innovative ways to connect with one another - even in virtual reality! Although New York City is our HQ, with teams in London, Virginia, and Victoria, we trust our Humans in choosing where they work and how they work. The benefits package we provide reflects our remote-first culture and our commitment to our Humans’ personal career development, which includes annual stipends for home office setup, wellbeing, and learning & development. We also offer weekly lunches, flexible time off, no-meeting Fridays, HUMAN days, sabbatical programs, and so much more.
We’re constantly trying to anticipate the needs of our Humans to ensure each one of us is equally prepared to do some of the best work of our life. Taking care of one another is part of the HUMAN experience and how we build true HUMAN connections.
