At White Ops, we are all about keeping it human. We are the global leader in bot mitigation. We protect more than 200 enterprises—including the largest internet platforms—from sophisticated bots by verifying the humanity of nearly one trillion online interactions every week. The most sophisticated bots look and act like humans when they click on ads, visit websites, fill out forms, take over accounts, and commit payment fraud. We stop them.

Founded in 2012 in a Brooklyn sci-fi bookstore, our Bot Mitigation Platform protects enterprises from the sophisticated bots that threaten them. It’s an ongoing war that we fight passionately every day. Join our mission to stop bots, disrupt the economics of cyber crime, and keep it human.

The Edge Services team is responsible for developing and maintaining a highly scalable, distributed architecture that collects signals and delivers insights to some of the biggest internet companies on the planet. Our small and nimble team of edge service backend engineers writes software that can handle sustained loads of 1 trillion requests per week, with peaks sometimes reaching 1 trillion per day! As a member of this team, you will enable our data scientists and security researchers to collect thousands of data points across the internet -- protecting advertisers, marketers and application developers from sophisticated cyber criminals. This team is heavily involved in product development, supporting unique customer integrations and looking for ways to make deploying and configuring our technology as seamless as possible. The team largely uses the Go programming language, maintains some Java projects, and is experimenting with Rust and Elixir.


What you'll do:

  • Collaborate with detection researchers (data scientists, malware reversers, threat analysts) to design and propose new ways to collect signals from the edges of the internet
  • Develop, patch, review and release software: from forensic web servers and optimized DNS services to threat mitigation engines, and HTTP proxies
  • Profile, debug, optimize and harden Linux-based software
  • Participate in an agile development cycle, write documentation, give talks and mentor others
  • Work with a team of uniquely talented engineers who love to learn, experiment, and push the limits of modern technology
  • Participate in building a unique culture that emphasizes lean principles and optimizes for deep work, collaboration and doing the best work of your career

Who you are:

  • You’re either already comfortable in Go codebases or open to learning the language given your depth of experience in another programming language, e.g. Java, C++, Rust
  • You have your share of war stories about distributed  architectures and common pitfalls
  • You are veteran systems developer and know TCP/IP like the back of your hand
  • You constantly drive for correctness and performance, in that order
  • You can own a small-to-medium sized feature all the way through from technical design to deployment in production
  • You are capable of coaching and guiding other software engineers of varying backgrounds in strengthening their technological knowledge through code reviews and providing constructive and effective feedback
  • You look to find new and innovative ways to solve complex problems through rigorous experimentation
  • You have an open attitude and collaborate well across team boundaries- be they the office hallway or the continental divide.

These are some additional skills that the team has developed and use regularly but are not required for new hires  (other than a burning desire to learn them when needed):

  • Experience automating the deployment of distributed software to cloud environments like AWS, Azure or GCP (which likely also means you know some combination of Kubernetes, Docker, and/or Terraform)
  • Able to do basic Linux system administration

Benefits and Perks

  • Unlimited vacation policy
  • Stock options, 401(k), and commuter benefits
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Medical and dental insurance for all full-time employees
  • Fully paid parental leave 
  • Professional development fund
  • Great coaching from senior leaders and challenging development opportunities
