ActiveState

Backend Engineer

• ActiveState enables DevOps, InfoSec, and Development teams to improve their security posture while simultaneously increasing productivity and innovation to deliver secure applications faster.
• We are the only solution in the market today that offers vulnerability-free open source language packages and containers and Intelligent Remediation, which identifies which vulnerabilities to prioritize, assesses the impact of updates causing breaking changes, prioritizes what to fix first, securely builds open source packages from source, and facilitates the build and deploy process to get fixes into production quickly and easily.
• This position is open to full-time remote workers anywhere in North America.
• This position is open to experienced candidates with a track record in this area. We’re building up our systems to scale out to more languages and ecosystems, and we’re looking for someone who knows how to analyze, design, build, monitor, and optimize backend systems to help us make the most of our data!
• Our audacious goal is to build all of the open source software released on the internet completely from source, in an automated and repeatable way. Our platform resolves dependencies for open source languages and libraries all the way up and down the stack. If this sounds like a difficult computer science problem, it is! If you’re motivated by graph theory, dependency resolution, and wrestling with practical applications of things like the Byzantine Generals Problem, we want to meet you!
• This specific team develops and maintains the systems that perform the dependency resolution algorithm, model dependency data, and produce the APIs for interacting with this system. On this team, you’ll spend time breaking new ground to support new languages and systems as well as optimizing our existing systems. You will help us manage the complexity of modeling the entire open source ecosystem, solving complex dependency problems, orchestrating whole-project builds from source code, and finding efficiencies along the way. If this sounds like an intriguing opportunity, we want to talk to you!
