Join our mission to secure the universe of code.
Our story
Aaron and Louis were working together on a government contract for an organization that used lots of open source software. They looked for a solution that could identify malware lurking in open source dependencies. They found inadequate legacy products that merely focused on vulnerabilities. To address this major gap, they teamed up with Pete to build Phylum and define the future of software supply chain security.

Remote Full-time
Phylum is defining the future of software supply chain security. Our technology applies machine leaning, deep analytics, and static code analysis to defend systems from far more than known software vulnerabilities. We’re on a mission to help companies defend their systems and stay ahead of today’s cybersecurity threats and emerging attack vectors.
As a venture-backed start-up, we’re off to the races. Now is an exciting time to join our 100% remote team and have a huge impact.
We’re looking for a Security Researcher to join our team!
What You’ll Be Doing
- Research emerging threats and new ways to identify malicious indicators and vulnerable code in open-source software
- Utilize data-driven methods including statistical analysis and other advanced techniques
- Adapt research results into new heuristics and analytics for our flagship product
- Refine the product tooling to fine-tune performance and impact
- Write about your product insights and findings
About You
- Highly skilled at malware analysis, vulnerability research, and identifying security threats
- Experience with reverse engineering and static code analysis
- Advanced programming skills in Python
- Must have 3+ years of relevant industry experience
- Experience with machine learning and data science
- Past work experience in an early-stage, fast-growing start-up is a plus
- Familiarity with Spark and Scala is a plus
The Tech Stack
Our engineering team embraces modern software engineering practices. All of our code runs in a continuous integration environment with good testing. We primarily deploy on Linux environments and lean heavily on Docker. Much of our code is written in Python, Rust, and Scala.
Phylum’s ingestion platform is built around Kafka. We store our datasets with Hadoop, leveraging Hive, HBase, and Elasticsearch, and we lean on Spark for analytics. All of our infrastructure sits on Kubernetes.
Phylum’s front-end stack uses modern Javascript, React, Redux, d3.js, and all the usual front-end tooling like webpack and babel.
We interact with projects that make extensive use of Scala, C, and C++.
