SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE | Designer

Looking for a UX designer who has exposure to DevOps/Cloud/Programming.

Building numerous new features for https://exo.deref.io and need someone to help wireframe, flesh out the UX, and design high-fidelity screens for implementation.

The ideal candidate for this project is someone who has dabbled in engineering and devops, but is primarily a designer. Also a good fit would be those who have experience designing cloud/devops/eng products in the past.

CSS/HTML implementation skills a big plus, but not strictly required.

Contact [email protected] with a statement of interest, your rates, and a link to your portfolio or other evidence of relevant experience. Thanks!

We're working on something like this at Deref: https://exo.deref.io/ - The version of our Exo tool that is out there now is a local process & docker container orchestrator with log viewer etc. We're working on adding support for a rich set of component types like functions, queues, workflows, cron jobs, etc. Everything would have a nice console GUI, so you don't need to be an expert at infrastructure-as-code, yet you'd get a version-controlled manifest file that you can use for reproducible deployments. We plan to support deployment to your own infrastructure or an eventual PaaS platform.

If folks are interested in working on something like this, my email address is in my profile. Don't hesitate to reach out.

Deref | Software Engineer | Remote USA | Full-Time

Looking for engineers with Cloud experience and a passion for UX/DexEx.

You'd be working on this thing: https://exo.deref.io/

We're a pre-seed funded startup on a mission to help developers build better services.

Competitive salary, generous equity.

Hi there, I'm the lead on this project. We're trying to improve the dev experience for service development. Lots of folks who have workflows on top of docker-compose, but there is still a big gap between what compose can offer and what real projects and organizations need. This release of our tool, exo, adds compose compatibility and provides a nice graphical log viewer, some UX for starting/stopping containers, etc. We've got big plans, but would love to hear from you about what would improve your den env.

Also, if you have compose projects that don't work, please do file an issue on github! Exo is open source: https://github.com/deref/exo - We're aiming for extremely robust compose compatibility, but aren't 100% there yet.

Deref's mission is to enable engineers everywhere to build and maintain world-class cloud services. Coding the perimeter is a fundamental design tenant of exo, our DevOps toolkit that enhances your development environment.

We're building something similar at Tenzir, but more for operational security workloads. https://docs.tenzir.com

Differences to Vector:

- An agent has optional indexed storage, so you can store your data there and pick it up later. The storage is based on Apache Feather, Parquet's little brother.

- Pipelines operators both work with data frames (Arrow record batches) or chunks of bytes.

- Structured pipelines are multi-schema, i.e., a single pipeline can process streams of record batches with different schemas.

Tenzir | Remote (EU) or Hamburg, Germany | open-core | Full-time | https://tenzir.com

Tenzir is hiring several key engineering roles to meet the needs in expanding the team. Our product: security data pipelines. From the data side, think of it as an Arrow-native, multi-schema ETL tool that offers optional storage in Parquet/Feather. From the security perspective, think of it as a solution for collecting, parsing, transforming, aggregating, and routing data. We typically sit between the data sources (endpoint, network, cloud) and sinks (SIEM, data lake).

Our open-source execution engine is C++20 (https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir), our platform is SvelteKit and TypeScript. Experience with data-first frontend apps is a great plus. Open positions at https://tenzir.jobs.personio.de:

We're in the middle of getting TQL v2 [] out of the door with support for expressions and more advanced control flow, e.g., match-case statements. There's a blog post [#] about the core design of the engine as well.

While it's a general-purpose ETL tool, we're targeting primary operational security use case where people today use Splunk, Sentinel/ADX, Elastic, etc. So some operators are very security'ish, like Sigma, YARA, or Velociraptor.

Hey, founder of Tenzir [1] here — We are building an open-core pipeline-first security data engine that can massively reduce your Splunk costs. Even though we go to market "mid stream" we have a few users that use us as light-weight SIEM (or more accurately, just plain log management).

We are still in early access to browse through our docs or swing by our Discord.

Download VAST v3.1 here: https://github.com/tenzir/vast/releases/tag/v3.1.0

Tenzir is a funded seed-stage startup that builds a next generation data-plane for plug-and-play security operations. Our mission is to empower defenders with an open data engineering platform to perform data-driven investigations through combination best-of-breed solutions. Our stack consists of the high-performance C++20 telemetry engine VAST, a Rust API, and a ReasonML-based frontend.

I had chat with Hannes, the DuckDB co-founder, a few weeks ago. They are building awesome stuff to become the "SQLite of OLAP". The team comes with a strong academic background and is tuned into the data engineering world.

At Tenzir, we looked at DuckDB as embeddable backend engine to do the heavy lifting of query execution of our engine [1]. Our idea is throwing over a set of Parquet files, along with a query; initially SQL but perhaps soon Substrait [2] if it picks up.

We also experiment with a cloud deployment [3] where a different set of I/O path may warrant a different backend engine. Right now, we're working on a serverless approach leveraging Datafusion (and depending on maturity, Ballista at some point).

My hunch is that we will see more pluggability in this space moving forward. It's not only meaningful from an open-core business model perspective, but also pays dividends to the UX. The company that's solving a domain problem (for us: security operations center infrastructre) can leverage a high-bandwidth drop-in engine and only needs to wire it properly. This requires much less data engineers than building a poorman's version of the same inhouse.

We also have the R use case, e.g., to write reports in Rmarkdown that crunch some customer security telemetry, highlighting outliers or other noteworthy events. We're not there yet, but with the right query backend, I would expect to get this almost for free. We're close to being ready to use Arrow Flight for interop, but it's not zero-copy. DuckDB has demonstrated the zero-copy approach recently [4], going through the C API. (The story is also relevant when doing s/R/Python/, FWIW.)

To this end, we build the high-performance telemetry engine VAST, which at its core, ingests hundreds of thousands of events per second from high-volume data sources (such as network telemetry as NetFlow, Zeek, Suricata, and endpoint telemetry from various agents). To the user, VAST offers low-latency access through various APIs, and in particular Apache Arrow for high-bandwidth data sharing with downstream tooling. A flexible plugin API enables additional security-specific use cases on top, such as realtime matching of threat intelligence or mining of asset data for passive inventorization.

For any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

We at Tenzir (https://tenzir.com/) are an early-stage startup that build a next generation data-plane for modern Security Operations Centers. We are looking for a frontend engineer to help us enhance the web interface to VAST (our open-core telemetry engine, https://github.com/tenzir/vast). In our stack, we use C++ for VAST , Rust and ReasonML (compiled to JS) in our API-Layer, and ReasonML on the frontend. Our website is written in ReasonML with the help of Gatsby. Our team cultivates a mindset of strong typing and functional programming, practiced end-to-end across the entire stack. We're a remote-first company, scattered across Europe. Ideally looking for someone within (+ / -) 4hrs timezone.
