Experience 5 to 7 years
Job Description:
- We are seeking a Backend Software Engineer with strong to expert-level expertise in the TCL programming language to support application security remediation and platform modernization initiatives.

- The candidate must have strong working knowledge of the Nix package manager to support consistent, reproducible build and runtime environments. In addition to remediation activities, this engineer will play a key role in supporting a potential cyber-driven migration off TCL within a defined timeframe, anticipating limitations in static analysis tooling (e.g., TCL not supported by Checkmarx).
