Third-Party Integrations (High Complexity)

• Build integrations with 100+ enterprise platforms
• Work with:
  • OAuth
  • Webhooks
  • External APIs
• Ensure:
  • Reliability
  • Observability
  • Fault tolerance

Event-Driven Systems & Data Pipelines

• Design event-driven architectures for security data
• Build pipelines for:
  • Ingestion
  • Transformation
  • Enrichment
• Work with messaging systems and async processing

Data Architecture & Databases

• Design scalable, multi-tenant systems
• Work heavily with:
  • PostgreSQL
• Handle:
  • Schema design
  • Complex queries
  • Data modeling for analytics + operations

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Deploy on:
  • Google Cloud Platform (preferred)
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
• Use:
  • Managed compute
  • Messaging systems
  • Scalable storage
• Implement:
  • Monitoring
  • Logging
  • Observability

Applied AI & Collaboration

• Work with Product + Security teams
• Help embed AI into workflows:
  • Detection
  • Prioritization
  • Response
• Contribute to:
  • Architecture decisions
  • Design reviews
  • Platform evolution

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You’ve built backend systems at scale
• You enjoy solving complex integration problems
• You care about:
  • Reliability
  • Clean architecture
  • Long-term maintainability
• You take ownership and move fast

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong backend engineering experience
• Proficiency in:
  • Go (preferred)
  • OR Python / Java / TypeScript (with willingness to learn Go)
• Strong experience with:
  • Relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Experience with:
  • Cloud platforms (GCP / AWS / Azure)
• Strong communication + ownership mindset

Nice-to-Have (High-Quality Candidates)

• Experience with:
  • OAuth, APIs, webhooks
  • Event-driven systems / messaging queues
• Exposure to:
  • Cybersecurity platforms (SIEM, identity tools, endpoint tools)
• Startup or high-growth environment experience
• Interest in AI / LLMs in backend systems

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Build and ship backend services in Go
• Design integrations with external platforms
• Debug production issues and improve reliability
• Optimize APIs, pipelines, and database queries
• Collaborate on architecture and scaling decisions

In short: you build the infrastructure that processes security data at scale.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

• Backend reliability & uptime
• Successful processing of high-volume data
• API performance & scalability
• Reduction in integration failures
• Contribution to system stability

Interview Process

• Initial Phone Screen
• Technical Interview
• Practical Assessment (API / backend task)
• Cross-Functional Interview
• Offer

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on real distributed systems, not basic apps
• High-impact role in cybersecurity + data engineering
• Exposure to:
  • Integrations
  • AI workflows
  • Scalable architecture
• Strong growth into:
  • Senior Engineer
  • Platform Engineer
  • Systems Architect

Apply Now

If you:

• Enjoy backend systems more than UI
• Like solving messy integration problems
• Want to work on real-scale infrastructure

This role is a strong fit.
