Job Description

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll be a technical leader and hands-on contributor, driving critical initiatives from concept to production. You’ll architect, build, and mentor while partnering cross-functionally with Product, AI, and Security. This is a high-impact role where you’ll influence technical direction, mentor engineers, and ensure delivery of scalable, secure services that meet enterprise-grade expectations.


What You’ll Do

  • Own end-to-end delivery of major platform initiatives, from design through deployment and post-launch success.
  • Design, develop, and optimize distributed microservices in Golang for scale, reliability, and performance.
  • Collaborate across teams — Product, AI, and Customer Success — to align architecture with business objectives.
  • Drive engineering excellence through code quality standards, design reviews, automation, and CI/CD best practices.
  • Be a mentor and multiplier, guiding software engineers through architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery.
  • Partner with leadership to align engineering strategy with product objectives and technical roadmap.



What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years in software engineering with cloud-native architecture experience.
  • Proven record of driving technical projects end-to-end, coordinating across teams and stakeholders.
  • Strong hands-on background in microservices architecture, distributed systems, and API-driven design.
  • Expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines in a cloud environment (Azure preferred).
  • Familiarity with modern databases, gRPC, message queues, and DevOps automation.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills — comfortable leading discussions from code to business impact.
  • (Bonus) Understanding or interest in cybersecurity, AI-driven systems, or threat intelligence.


Our Culture

  • Ownership & Leadership: Engineers make decisions and own outcomes.
  • Mentorship & Growth: Learn from industry leaders and experiment with the frontier of AI and cybersecurity.
  • Collaboration & Inclusion: We value diverse perspectives that challenge the status quo and fuel innovation.
  • Impact Mindset: Every line of code contributes to shaping the future of enterprise security.
