InQuest, a leading provider of cybersecurity services and solutions for both the private and public sector, is looking for Senior Python 3 developer to work with both our frontend and backend development teams. You will architect and plan new products, as well as provide maintenance on existing projects. You will serve as a project manager and interface with folks on UI, backend, and threat intelligence to ensure that requirements are met and delivered to our hardware, software and SaaS platforms.

The InQuest platform provides high-throughput Deep File Inspection (DFI) for threat and data leakage prevention, detection, and hunting. We aim to automate and scale the expert knowledge of a typical SOC analyst. Available on-premise or as a service, we leverage a variety of sources in our automated decision-making engine. This includes bi-directional orchestration with multi-scanning and sandbox platforms, unique threat intelligence sources, and a seasoned signature development team augmented by machine learning. 

Founded in 2013, the InQuest leadership and engineering teams comprise of passionate security researchers hailing from both the public and private sectors. Our mission is to deliver our decades of lessons-learned to protect users and organizations everywhere. We strive to maintain our hands-on familiarity with a wide range of prevention, analysis, and monitoring solutions. Continuously exploring, examining, and validating security vendors. We aim to continue our community involvement through contributions by way of talks, publications, open-source software, and researcher collaboration. 

Two unfair advantages fuel our team's passion: 

1. We've worked with thousands of real-world exploits from vulnerability discovery and exploitation specialists from all-around the world. 
2. We've vetted nearly every major security vendor under the Sun. Working with the best-in-class COTS and OSS solutions across the spectrum. 

Through 2017, we operated in stealth-mode, primarily servicing the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. Expanding by word-of-mouth and perfecting our solution. In 2018 we came out of stealth mode with the launch of our flagship on-premise appliance fleet, supporting up to 20Gb/sec in a 1RU form-factor. In tandem, we made publicly available a slew of open-source software and threat intelligence contributions via GitHub and began interfacing with the community via our blog and Twitter. Regardless of how the InQuest solution is deployed, our goals are to: 

1. Operate at scale to support the needs of businesses ranging from small offices to global enterprises. 
2. Expose deeply embedded content through novel methods, automating typically human-intensive tasks. 
3. Utilize all available resources to automate the identification and validation of threats lurking in the environment. 

This is both a key role and an exciting time to join the team. You'll be working mostly from our office in downtown Austin Texas with the option to work remotely as needed. For more information visit us at www.inquest.net or apply and let's have a conversation.
