Clojure Developer for Malware Analysis Product

The ThreatGRID team at Cisco is looking for experienced clojure developers to work on our large scale, malware analysis product. Our entire platform is built on Clojure, from the the API services, around the event processing subsystem, and down to the core.logic analysis engine.

Our system runs as a distributed cluster in the cloud, and shrunk down to a single on-premises appliance. This keeps us focused on simple solutions, clear abstractions between services, composition of services, functional data processing, and minimal state.

We are analyzing 900k+ malware files a day, and will be scaling to millions a day as we integrate more with the Cisco product line. We need experienced hands in executing this scaling task.

Our team is distributed across the U.S. and works from home with occasional office visits and travel -- this requires excellent written communications, self-confidence, trust in your co-workers, and assuming ownership of the problems you encounter.

We work with these technologies:

  • Clojure, core.logic, riemann
  • ElasticSearch
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis

We are looking for experience in some of the following problem domains:

  • Web Services Scaling -- Ok, but what happens if 2 million devices ask that question?

  • Cloud Deployment -- A herd of containers, a society of JVMs. Multiple data centers.

  • DevOps -- Developers and Operators working together to reduce mean-time to discovery and remediation.

  • System Monitoring and Alerting -- Kiries is Kibana, Riemann and Elasticsearch

  • Data Modeling -- Applied JSON epistemology in a world of hostile actors

  • Micro-Services Architecture -- Towards NetFlix OSS, but in a Clojure way.

  • Continuous Integration/Deployment -- Keep it green, push the button to deploy

We offer:

  • An endless supply of interesting problems, and people to solve them with

  • Work in one of the fastest growing product lines in Cisco

  • Competitive salary and benefits to support a stable, high-quality life outside of work

  • Decades of collective experience with Clojure and Common Lisp

  • Support in developing your skills and talents, we love to help each other grow

  • Work from home, or a Cisco office, as you please.
