What we look for:
Our best engineers are collaborative and selfless. They enjoy writing code but they prioritize mentoring and supporting others. They leave code cleaner than when they found it but don’t insist on particular patterns. They optimize for simplicity and readability. They are involved in the full lifecycle of software development: understanding the requirements, designing the solution, writing the code, testing the code, testing the integration, deploying it to production, and monitoring the deployment. They are fully engaged in the problem domain.
What you will do:
As a senior full-stack engineer on the Flashpoint Threat Operations team, you will work closely with the Flashpoint intelligence analysts to support their needs in an ever changing environment. You must take care that the team's applications are reliable, responsive, simple, and predictable.

- Collaborate with the product team as well as cyber threat, fraud, and security experts to understand the problems that customers want to solve
- Collaborate with the data and operations teams to design infrastructure that supports the applications you will be building
- Identify opportunities for automation and drive process improvements
As a senior member of the team, you will also be responsible for driving the technical direction and architecture of applications and processes, as well as encouraged to set examples and provide guidance to other team members. A desire to train and mentor others, explain your decisions, and conduct thorough code reviews is preferred.
