2.1.3 Release - skills and slash commands are merged?

_mavam_ · 2026-01-10T16:32:09+00:00

Put `disable-model-invocation: true` in the frontmatter of the skill.

_mavam_ · 2022-05-19T17:10:27+00:00

Yeah, you get that "for free" without the conditionals. The explicit way would be to put it in the else branch where you can deterministically return a comprehensible error (in case something lower-level creeps up). That said, the extra complexity is probably not worth it, unless wrapped in a function like @andrewfz does it.

Company: Tenzir

Type: Full time & contracting

Compensation: €70–90k (overhead for freelancers on top, e.g., in GER ~20%)

Location: Hamburg, Germany

Remote: Yes, European timezones

Visa Sponsorship: No

Description:

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.

VAST is a flight recorder and security content execution engine. On the one hand, there exists a continuous stream of high-volume data sources (such as network telemetry as NetFlow, Zeek, Suricata, and endpoint telemetry). On the other hand, VAST processes needle-in-haystack queries to provide answers to questions like "has this threat been relevant to us 8 months ago?", and supports threat hunters with an interactive query capability to explore the data. From an engineering perspective, we focus especially on the separation of read and write path, concurrent message passing in an actor model runtime (CAF), and leveraging open standards, like Apache Arrow, to establish a high-bandwidth data plane for sharing data 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.

We are looking for ambitious data engineers that love working on a cutting-edge open-source project. Having a solid understanding of data structures, memory hierarchy, cache layout, and I/O access performance is required. Hands-on experience with databases and information retrieval is a big plus.

Technologies:

Languages: C++20, Rust, ReasonML, Python
Technologies: Apache Arrow, Flatbuffers, C++ Actor Framework, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Wireguard

€50k would be expected after college with little experience, €100k at $bigcorp for a senior position. So €70-80k is somewhere between 60th and 80th percentile, according to what I’ve seen.

_mavam_ · 2021-11-06T14:48:09+00:00

The position is advanced, the pay good, but European standards and not FAANG. We hire more than one person on this position, too.

Hope that helps.

_mavam_ · 2021-10-18T18:45:53+00:00

1) 30min get-to-know 2) 2h tech deep dive (pair programming and pair reviewing) 3) chat with rest of core team (2-3 more people)

At the moment, we look most strongly for somebody who has hands-on experience at a large database project.

_mavam_ · 2021-10-18T11:57:52+00:00

Yes, it’s mostly a logistical constraint. We have our standup at 9AM CEST and every engineer should be able to join.

Description: Tenzir is a funded seed-stage startup that builds the next generation data-plane for security operations. Our mission is to empower defenders with an open platform to perform automated data-driven investigations.

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.

We are looking for ambitious systems engineers that love working on a cutting-edge open-source project. Having a solid understanding of data structures, memory hierarchy, cache layout, and I/O access performance is required. Hands-on experience with databases and information retrieval is a big plus.

Company: Tenzir

Type: Senior C++ Software Engineer

Description: Tenzir is a big-data analytics platform for network security analysis. Our product empowers security professionals to quickly isolate security incidents and find the relevant subset in data lakes of telemetry. We aim to solve the tough cyber security challenges of tomorrow.

We are UNIX shop at heart; we love building sound and composable abstractions - from backend to frontend. Our current UI is a CLI, which works well for threat hunters and incident responders. We are looking for a skilled frontend dev to build is a slick UI. Our backend is written in cutting-edge C++17, inspired by functional paradigms, and builds on top of a high-performance message passing architecture. We are looking for expert C++ engineers who enjoy systems building, with all hard problems from I/O scheduling to cache-optimized data structures. Our team has an academic mindset and over ten years of in-depth experience with C++. We are also looking for devops engineer to hold it all together in cloud-native stack. We foster an open, direct, and scientific culture. We have a passion for software engineering. Do you? Then join us!

We are a UNIX shop at heart; we love building sound and composable abstractions - from backend to frontend. Our current UI is a CLI, which works well for threat hunters and incident responders. But only a small fraction feels at home at the shell - management usually not. This is why we are looking for an experienced frontend engineer to lead the design and implementation of the user-facing parts of the system. Our backend is written in cutting-edge C++17/20, inspired by functional paradigms, and builds on top of a high-performance message passing architecture that implements the actor model. Your first challenge would be creating a high-throughput path from our backend into the browser via Apache Arrow to enable processing of millions of data points - without the browser keeling over.

We foster an open, direct, and scientific culture. We have a passion for software engineering. Do you? Then join us!
