About the project: The only Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Platform purpose-built for the world’s most complex enterprises.
This role is intended to be at the platform level, so "focus on data" in this context means -
Understanding the interaction between code and the database.
Understanding the interaction between code and our data. Our data isn't necessarily unique, but we deal with data at a large scale on a legacy codebase, and we need somebody who can come on-board and identify or prevent:
Code that suffers from off-by-one errors
Code that suffers from unnecessary exponential-time (O(n^2)) issues or is generally non-performant
Code that runs fast at a small scale but doesn't run fast at a large scale, or vice versa
Writing performant queries and best implementing the code to execute them.
Ability to audit existing queries and recommend improvements either to the query itself or to the code. For instance, maybe it's better to split a single query into two separate queries, execute them separately, and then write code to utilize the result sets together instead of doing a larger, slower, single query.
Understanding how the code and queries will scale together, and how they will continue to be performant as we continually increase the data by factors of 10.
Creating databases and recommending logical sort and shard keys as well as indexes. Understanding conceptually what these things mean and how to apply them.
Auditing or reviewing existing tables and recommending schema/architecture improvement
Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in PHP development
Excellent knowledge of DB
Extensive experience working with large volumes of data
Experience in writing complex and optimized SQL queries
Excellent knowledge of modern versions of PHP
Experience working with relational databases (SingleStore/MemSQL a bonus)
Experience maintaining applications on Linux platforms in cloud environments
Background following Agile/Scrum methodologies in a professional setting
Demonstrated experience with technical troubleshooting
Ability to work independently and with a team, including with a team across different time zones
Experience working with vulnerability scanning technologies on any part of the tech stack (e.g., SCA, SAST, DAST, IAST, VM scanning, container, etc.)
Experience working in cloud environments, ideally AWS
Experience working with data analytics and/or data science
