Description

  • Own a significant domain within the clearing house, such as customer onboarding workflows, entitlement management, or data validation pipelines.
  • Drive the architecture and implementation of backend systems in Go on GCP that are production-ready, tested, observable, and maintainable.
  • Lead the design of data pipelines that ingest unstructured vulnerability reports, deduplicate findings, and produce clean structured outputs.
  • Establish engineering best practices for code review, testing, and incident response.
  • Partner with the principal engineer and manager on technical planning, architecture alignment, and roadmap sequencing.
  • Collaborate with the libraries team on interface contracts and data quality requirements.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of backend engineering experience with a track record of owning large, complex systems in production.
  • Strong Go engineering skills.
  • Experience with GCP and Terraform.
  • Experience building systems that process and validate data from heterogeneous, unstructured sources.
  • Analytical, research-based mindset for working through ambiguous data problems.
  • Experience taking a business problem from prototype or MVP to a reliable, scalable production service.
  • Experience designing systems with multiple customer entitlement levels, access controls, and workflow routing.
  • Comfort with observability tooling and ensuring services are healthy in production.
  • Background in security, supply chain, or infrastructure domains is a plus but not required.

Benefits

  • Flexible remote-first work environment with team meetup opportunities and bi-annual destination summits.
  • Monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone, and internet costs.
  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, with participation in secondary offerings and 10 years to exercise options.
