About the Team
Metasploit is the world’s most popular open-source hacker toolkit. At Rapid7, a distributed team of security researchers and software engineers works with the open-source community to incorporate fresh features, enhancements, and fixes into Metasploit.

Metasploit and its related projects are built with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but Metasploit also incorporates many other languages.

As a Metasploit engineer, you’ll help the team work toward sprint goals on a day-to-day basis and bring strong engineering principles to bear on projects from architecture through implementation. This role will support Metasploit Pro development, helping our customers conduct effective security testing so they can validate and prioritize risk. 

In this role, you will:

  • Develop, build, and release enhancements, fixes, and features for our open-source and commercial Metasploit product lines

  • Participate in design and implementation of features and enhancements at regular sprint plannings, stand-ups, and code reviews

  • Write clean and correct code, taking ownership of smaller feature projects as needed

  • Learn about offensive security customer problems and use cases

  • When required, partner with external teams like PM or technical support to ensure we are serving our customers’ needs

The skills you’ll bring include:

  • At least 5+ years of software development experience 

  • Experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, or another web framework such as Django, Flask, or SpringBoot. Some basic experience with front-end technologies (e.g., HTML, JavaScript).

  • Familiarity with Git-based project development and conventions (e.g., reviewing, merging, rebasing)

  • Understanding of APIs, interprocess communication, and modern networking and deployment tooling (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS, Docker)

  • Interest in offensive security technologies and hacker culture

  • Ability to work asynchronously with a global group of engineers, researchers, product managers, and community members

We know that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams. Teams reflecting a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. If you are excited about this role and feel your experience can make an impact, please don’t be shy - apply today.
