We're looking for a Software Engineer to join the ELS Delivery Pipeline team within our Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) product. ELS provides security updates for software versions that are no longer maintained upstream. The delivery pipeline takes reported vulnerabilities through assessment, patching, building, testing, and package publication across supported ecosystems. Our team builds and operates the internal services, tools, and integrations that connect these stages and track work through to release. We automate repetitive tasks and help engineering teams diagnose and recover from pipeline failures.
For this role, it is critical that you have experience owning production systems end to end — from clarifying requirements directly with stakeholders to designing, implementing, deploying, and operating solutions. You will work across existing services and tools, improving reliability, simplifying workflows, and verifying results in production.
Key Responsibilities:
Build pipelines that publish security advisories from vulnerability assessments and released fixes
Automate vulnerability assessment across large inventories of packages, versions, and dependencies across ecosystems
Integrate vulnerability discovery scanners, reconcile their findings, and connect results to assessment and patching workflows
Build and operate Python services, command-line tools, and internal interfaces for engineers assessing vulnerabilities, tracking patches, and managing releases
Work directly with stakeholders to clarify requirements, agree priorities, and define how results will be verified
Improve build and deployment automation, monitor production systems, and troubleshoot failures across services, containers, and data stores
Review code and improve automated testing, security, and maintainability
Use AI coding agents in day-to-day development, reviewing and testing the code they produce
Requirements
Must have
Experience building and maintaining production software in Python
Strong Linux troubleshooting and production-debugging skills
Experience designing and integrating APIs and services
Experience with asynchronous or distributed processing
Experience with CI/CD, containers, and build or deployment automation
Solid relational data-modelling and SQL skills
Nice to have
Experience with Python stack: Django, Django REST Framework, Celery, and RabbitMQ
Experience building services or command-line tools in Go
Experience with package ecosystems, dependency metadata, or vulnerability data formats such as OSV
Benefits
