Job description
The senior software and systems engineer position supports Gravwell’s software engineering and systems development group which is responsible for the design, development, and testing of the core Gravwell analytics platform and will report directly to the CTO. Well suited candidates are self-motivated and capable of working remotely on tasks which may be self-designated. Candidates must be US citizens and resident in the contiguous 48 states.

The core platform is a highly concurrent distributed system designed to ingest and analyze all manners of data; including text, network traffic, executables, audio, and video.

Skills & requirements
A qualified candidate must be well versed in Unix process flow, task management, concurrent program design, distributed systems, and system security. Gravwell is a full stack analytics platform, and developers and engineers are responsible for data from generation to cold storage.
