Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer , you will be responsible for designing and building core backend services and product capabilities, working on scalable systems that handle large volumes of security-related data, and developing robust features that improve security posture in cloud environments. The ideal candidate will have strong software engineering foundations, a product-minded approach, and experience building distributed systems in production. You will collaborate closely with Product, Research, and Engineering teams to deliver secure, performant, and reliable solutions end-to-end. You will work within the engineering department, contributing to architecture decisions, improving code quality, scalability, and reliability, while maintaining strong ownership over development and delivery in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain high-scale backend services and APIs.
• Build features that identify and prevent cloud misconfigurations and security risks.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code with high engineering standards.
• Participate in system design and architecture discussions (scalability, reliability, performance).
• Collaborate with Product, Research, and other engineering teams to define and implement end-to-end solutions.
• Optimize performance and improve system reliability, monitoring, and observability.
• Take ownership over services in production, including troubleshooting and incident resolution.
