Job Details

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

We are a technology startup developing a traffic anomaly detection system to protect online services from fraud by identifying VPN/proxy usage. Our work resembles a cybersecurity lab. 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 like 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 the kernel's 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' from you). Readiness to delve deep into problems. Our product's logic cannot be Googled; it must be derived from data. You will not be alone: research engineers are available, hypotheses are discussed together, and asking questions is encouraged. The main thing is not to wait for a ticket with step-by-step instructions, but to go and figure things out.

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