For this role (multiple vacancies):

We are seeking strong software engineers with significant experience (3+, preferably 5+ years) in software engineering, AI/ML, or data engineering for a fast growing, well funded, profitable company in Tyson's Corner, Virginia (150+ people, Series C stage.) The product focus is big data analytics on multi-lingual data sets at scale to identify security risks. The primary responsibility for the data collection engineer is to build, automate, and scale data pipelines to support advanced analytics in multiple languages; however, the company has multiple needs so other roles will be considered if they are a better fit. This company has an experienced management team that has had multiple prior successful exits. 

Salary range is $150k to $250k, depending on the equity mix. Great benefits including a wellness allowance and unlimited PTO. More details will be provided to qualified candidates.

This company is using a typical tech stack (e.g. python/java and running on AWS) though the candidates we seek likely know lots of languages. (We have a separate really cool opportunity for people who love things like C/C++, Go/Golang, and Rust -- let us know if that is you.)

With rare exceptions, we are only considering candidates with a computer science degree (undergrad or master's) because, in our experience, this background is needed for success in the technical interviews.

We ARE looking for:

-- Python, Javascript, CSS, HTML

-- Prior experience delivering products

-- Experience drawing conclusions from large scale, messy data sets

-- Experience working with multi-lingual data

-- Experience with security analytics

-- Experience working with/scaling a strong team

We are NOT looking for:

-- PowerBI/dashboards (wrong kind of data science)

-- .NET

-- Mobile apps

-- Recent college graduates

-- Non-US citizens (while a clearance is not required, candidates must be potentially clearable)
