About the job
You might be reading this, thinking of the endless backlog refinement, sprint planning or cooperation meetings you have been part of the last weeks. You might be wondering; “When was the last time I had some time to try a new idea” or “do management actual know what we do here?”. If you have ever said, I just want to do my job and code, then you might be interested in a company like XCI A/S.

XCI A/S is a company that through software, not processes, solve complex use cases for our customers, in their fight against crime. In a world where the use of technologies moves faster than many can keep up with, XCI helps efficiently investigate past and future threats from the rapidly growing amounts of data and protocol complexity. This requires a new, machine-assisted, data-driven approach. To solve the complex problems, we combine a deep understanding of communications data with cutting edge IP-probe technology, artificial intelligence, and analytics.

As part of our protocol analytics team, you will focus on reverse engineering and dissection of often complex IP protocols – and creating near real-time software piercing through IP data at high bandwidths. This requires a deep understanding of IP protocols and layer 7 protocols, and different serialization formats.

The challenges with low-latency, high bandwidth and zero data loss requires a lot of innovation to solve. We therefore encourage employees to pursue interesting findings and observations and to explore technologies to enable us to keep up.

The job is in a locally based team, with locally based management and with a short and flat path to influence and decisions.

If this sounds good to you – then we offer an exciting job in a casual, collaborative team, that has a major say on how and with what they work.
