Strong background in customizing Jira (ScriptRunner, Java/Groovy scripting, REST APIs)
Experience with Python for building backend services or automation layers
Demonstrated ability to work independently and lead small technical teams
Familiarity with designing user-centric interfaces that translate complex data into intuitive tools
U.S. Citizenship or permanent residency (due to export control regulations)

Preferred Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
Background in product security or tools used in secure development pipelines
Understanding of third-party risk tools like Coverity, Black Duck, or SD Elements
Experience in cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, or containerized applications
Proficiency in troubleshooting complex systems with a focus on uptime and performance
Interest in aviation, aerospace, or defense technology

Why Join Them?

This role gives you the chance to directly influence the cybersecurity ecosystem of next-generation aerospace systems. You'll work alongside experts who are passionate about building secure, resilient technology for high-stakes environments.
