Verve is on a mission to secure the world's critical infrastructure providers by bringing the tools and techniques of defense-in-depth strategies employed by best-in-breed IT practices to OT (Operational Technology).

We're a team of software developers, controls engineers, product managers, designers, and security professionals working to build software solutions that keep the bedrock of modern-day life safe: power, oil, gas, water, chemicals, medicine and other industries.

The development team responsible for Verve's Agentless Device Inventory (ADI) product is looking to add an experienced Python developer. 

What You'll Do

• Plan and lead the development of services in Python that communicate with embedded devices and industrial controllers (e.g. EtherNet/IP, S7comm, BACnet, Profinet)

• Be a technical mentor for other software engineers.

• Lead the technical architecture of custom protocol implementations, network scanners, and internal tools.

• Work with product management, customers, and stakeholders to refine and breakdown product requirements.

• Become well versed in OT (Operational Technology) and industrial control systems for the purpose of building better tools and services.

What You'll Need

• Product-driven software development experience with Python (typically 5 years).

• Technical leadership, the ability to lead a project/feature end-to-end, and mentor junior engineers.

• Ability to quickly understand, modify, and extend large, existing Python codebase with numerous contributors.

• Knowledge of best practices for managing long-term codebase health, particularly as it relates to Python: packaging, automated testing, dependency management, environment setup, design patterns, and incremental refactoring approaches.

• Understanding of modern software engineering practices like agile project management, CI/CD and test automation.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication, towards sharing complex ideas and ensuring the whole team can follow along and contribute.

Nice to Have

• Team lead experience, and/or an interest in growing in that direction while remaining hands-on and technical.

• Experience with Operational/Industrial hardware, software, standards, and protocols.

• Exposure to working with containers and containerizing existing applications (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos).

• Experience implementing systems following RFC's/formal specifications.

• Experience working on large Python code bases with a large number of contributors.

• A working understanding of network concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS, switching, routing, and firewalls.

• Experience with Python libraries such as Pydantic and Pytest
