Software Engineer

### Who you are
- This role requires deep experience with browser automation, anti-bot defenses, fingerprinting and signature mitigation, distributed scraping architectures, and infrastructure designed for sensitive or misattributed environments
- Care deeply about the mission: the data we collect is enabling massive, generational impact across many national security missions
- Have strong back-end experience and understanding of distributed systems. Prefer typescript/python expertise
- Understand how anti-abuse, bot detection, fraud, or traffic integrity systems analyze traffic and operate at scale
- Are data driven and and have eye for instrumentation and monitoring
- You can reason about how small deviations in protocol behavior, timing, or runtime characteristics propagate into anomaly scores
- Are technically diverse and can adapt your tool stack quickly
- Communicate crisply: can write a one-pager that aligns stakeholders, communicates, risks, and drives action
- You prefer structural resilience over reactive tactics
- Are comfortable making hard prioritization calls with incomplete information
- Deeply understand how network-level and browser-level signatures combine to form a holistic risk profile in modern detection systems
- Experience with web scraping, browser automation, and similar
- Experience with national security problems and workflows, data platform/product work
- Familiarity with agentic systems and what makes data “tool-call ready”
- Full stack capability. This team leans heavily into the backend, but does touch the front end from time to time (React)
- Grit and creativity to keep going when faced with a roadblock
- Success in working problems to conclusion and trying different approaches until one works
- Ability to work autonomously
- Demonstrated bias towards achieving an outcome even if it requires helping or doing the job of someone else on another team
- Active TS / SCI Clearance is a plus but not needed

### What the job involves
- You will be an engineer on the team building systems to collect hard-to-access data
- This data forms the foundation of our company’s advantage
- Your role is to elevate and extend our existing collection capabilities — strengthening the core engines, improving resilience in adversarial environments, and expanding how this data is exposed through interfaces for agents and other engineering teams
- We operate in environments where automated defensive systems are sophisticated and continuously evolving
- This role is about designing statistically disciplined, cross-layer systems that remain reliable under that scrutiny without sacrificing scale, stability, or operational integrity
- You will help shape the evolution of our collection stack end-to-end — from low-level evasion techniques and managed attribution browsing to clean, well-defined tool calls that agents can use predictably and at scale
- You’ll collaborate closely across engineering and mission teams, translating real-world data needs into durable technical systems
- Master our data and capabilities. We’ve built world-class data collection for some key national security data sets. Understand how we’ve built it, what our differentiators are, and how to take it to the next level
- Understand our users. You’ll need to understand their missions, challenges, and expectations to build systems that help them
- Shape our collection approach. You understand how our systems interact with defensive systems, and will develop and implement technical plans that keep high-value data flowing
- Build and maintain stable, scalable systems. Our customers operate 24x7 and need access to fresh, rich, operationally-relevant data. You will design collection systems that remain stable under sophisticated automated detection regimes
- Contribute to agentic capability. Ensure the tools you build and collected data is usable by agents (tool-call readiness, retrieval patterns, schemas/metadata, evaluation loops, etc.). Identify gaps where the right data isn’t getting into agent tool calls and coordinate fixes
