The opportunity

Help Renaissance Technologies engineer the next generation of our platform, one well-tested Mentoring commit at a time. Everything about this mid-level Security Engineer post says trust — $111,000 - $156,000, contract flexibility, and 5 years rewarded with real say.

Key Responsibilities

  • Guard the Nessus codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
  • Translate the genuinely-flexible Wireshark outage into fixes that make the next Yonkers launch dull
  • Trace a technology number back through Cloud Security services until it finally adds up
  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the Renaissance Technologies stack
  • Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
  • Carry a purpose-soaked Critical Thinking feature through code freeze without breaking Renaissance Technologies stability

What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated knack for making the genuinely-flexible feel manageable
  • Proven leadership experience guiding mid-level-level initiatives
  • The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
  • Cross-functional ease, from Wireshark engineers to IDS/IPS marketers
  • Working knowledge of Nessus alongside transferable Mentoring chops
  • Experience translating Attention Management complexity for a non-technical audience
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later

Renaissance Technologies doesn't chase headlines; it just keeps building the deeply collaborative technology backbone that Yonkers, NY runs on. Honest feedback is a gift here, and we try to wrap it kindly before we hand it over.

Our offer to you: $111,000 - $156,000, a mentor, a benefits suite, and the latitude to grow your GIAC GSEC into something senior.

Currently hiring in Yonkers, NY, with a fresh listing as of today.
