What Expel is looking for in applicants

What comes to your mind when you think of cybersecurity? Have you ever considered yourself as part of the solution in this industry? Does working with a team of highly-capable software engineers who deliver outstanding solutions to security analysts excite you? If so, continue on for more details.

At Expel, one of our most meaningful missions that we work on is delivering solutions to enable our analysts to be more efficient. The Analyst Experience team writes software that automates some of the analysts' work, and consolidates the information they're looking for, so they can reduce the time it takes to respond to alerts and notify stakeholders about results. We work closely with other engineering, product management, and quality teams to build high-value tools for our analysts.

Our team values being actively inclusive and supportive, innovation through rapid iteration, humility, and intelligent execution over ego. If this sounds like the kind of team you'd like to join, we’d love to hear from you!

  • Develop your expertise in current technologies like Kubernetes, GCP, Postgres, Ember.js, Node.js, Python, and Go
  • Increase your exposure to the cybersecurity space and security products
  • Experience a growing, highly transparent startup environment
  • Provide a safe environment to grow and learn while adhering to Agile concepts in real time like Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in a SaaS environment.

What You Should Bring With You

  • A desire and ability to constantly learn and improve yourself and your work products
  • An ability to coordinate your time, and balance contending priorities
  • An enjoyment of communicating and collaborating effectively with others, from a variety of teams and departments
  • Experience with a front end framework (for example Angular, React, or Ember.js)
  • Proficiency with multiple programming languages (compiled and scripting) — we use Javascript, Python, and Go
  • 3+ years professional software development experience
