Job Details

Python Backend Engineer role in a tech startup focused on anomaly detection systems. Requires background in InfoSec/Networking, Python experience, and Linux skills. Remote, full-time position with salary 100-200K RUB.

We are a technology startup developing an anomaly detection system to protect online services from fraud by identifying VPN/proxy usage. This role is within our R&D department, focusing on cybersecurity research. We are looking for individuals with an engineering mindset who are tired of repetitive feature development and want to apply their skills in a challenging environment. We particularly welcome candidates from InfoSec/Networking backgrounds who are proficient in Python, such as network engineers, pentesters, SOC analysts, and reverse engineers.

Background in InfoSec/Networking (relevant education or proven experience: cybersecurity/network administration, CTF, pet projects, open-source). Python experience of at least 1 year of commercial experience (clean, scalable code, convenient REST API). Networking knowledge below the level of requests/aiohttp (TCP handshake, TLS ClientHello, DNS). Practical experience with tcpdump and Wireshark. Proficient Linux user (console, understanding of kernel network stack). Ability to read and understand existing code (legacy code and research scripts are not a deterrent). Soft skills (critical for us): Autonomy and proactivity (tasks do not need to be 'pulled' out of you). Readiness to delve deep into problems. Our product logic cannot be Googled; it must be derived from data. You will not be alone: research engineers are nearby, hypotheses are discussed together, and asking questions is not shameful. The main thing is not to wait for a ticket with step-by-step instructions, but to go and figure it out.

Remote, full-time. Salary: 100-200K RUB (payments in USDT are possible). Higher salary considered for experienced candidates. Minimal bureaucracy, maximum engineering freedom. Development opportunities in CyberSec. Location: Russia or Belarus.
