Hello!
Our company is searching for someone that can step in to mold our api. It is a remote position unless you prefer to work in our office in Maryland.The data this api exposes include network security analysis observations that present challenging and fun problems to solve due to their volatility and load (e.g. 'Big Data'). In addition, we need to model rich data types for data visualization of entire networks' assets (devices).

The company is an established network security firm based out of Silver Spring, MD and is composed of highly-regarded data scientists and engineers who are changing the way we approach securing our networks. If you interested, please take a look (below) at the job posting I copied here and contact me. Thank you!
