About the role
The Systems Engineer will be a part of the Censys ARC (Advanced Research Collective) and will build and operate the pipelines and platforms that power Censys's threat detection and intelligence capabilities. This role will own the engineering behind static and dynamic file analysis at scale, and the graph-based systems that connect indicators, infrastructure, and actors into actionable threat intelligence.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 6+ years building security data pipelines, detection engineering systems, or threat intelligence platforms
- Experience with Synapse or other graph-based threat intel platforms (e.g., Maltego, Neo4j), including graph data modeling
- Strong programming skills in Python and/or Go
- Working knowledge of static and dynamic malware analysis (disassemblers, sandboxes such as Cuckoo/CAPE, debuggers) tooling and pipelines
- Experience with distributed data pipelines and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and data stores (Elasticsearch, S3, etc.)
More about this role
Censys’ mission is to be the one place to understand everything on the internet. Frustrated by the lack of trustworthy Internet intelligence, we set out to create the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date map of the Internet. Today, Censys delivers real-time Internet intelligence and actionable threat insights to global governments, over 50% of the Fortune 500, and leading threat intelligence providers worldwide.
The Systems Engineer will be a part of the Censys ARC (Advanced Research Collective) and will build and operate the pipelines and platforms that power Censys's threat detection and intelligence capabilities. This role will own the engineering behind static and dynamic file analysis at scale, and the graph-based systems that connect indicators, infrastructure, and actors into actionable threat intelligence. You'll work closely with threat researchers and analysts, turning detection and correlation requirements into production-grade systems.
For a systems engineer who's spent years wiring together detection pipelines and threat intel platforms, this role is the rare chance to build that infrastructure at the actual source of the data rather than downstream...
