Vulnerability Management software engineering team

A small shop with a big heart. ❤️ We're looking for both junior and senior developers to help design the tools and systems used by CISA's Vulnerability Management sub-division. These are the folks that perform many of our cybersecurity assessments.

Our development team is responsible for a majority of the repositories in the cisagov organization. Take a look around to get a sense of what we're currently working on. Recently we've been making a big push to cloudify all the things, resulting in our new COOL system. You'll find a good deal of Python, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, Packer), and old-school shell scripting.

We're big fans of open development in government and promote it whenever we can.

We appreciate that software development can be an art as much as a science. Bob Ross got to pick his own brushes, and so can you! There are very few restrictions on what you can craft as your development environment. (But you may get razzed if registry keys are involved.)

If have any questions for our team, please feel free to join the conversation over in the Guild of Developers.
