Software Engineer - Go Specialist

Description

Summary: Seeking a Software Engineer to build and scale backend systems for a cybersecurity platform, focusing on designing core components that ingest, process, and correlate security data. Highlights: 1. Build and scale backend systems for a modern cybersecurity platform 2. Design and maintain integrations with 100+ enterprise platforms 3. Work on high-impact backend services, integrations, and data pipelines **Job Title:** Software Engineer \- Go Specialist **Position Type:** Full\-Time, Remote **Working Hours:** U.S. Hours **About the Role** We are seeking Software Engineers to build and scale the backend systems that power a modern, enterprise\-grade cybersecurity platform. This role is focused on designing core platform components that ingest, process, and correlate security data at scale across a wide range of third\-party systems. This is a hands\-on engineering role where you will work on high\-impact backend services, integrations, and data pipelines that directly influence customer outcomes, platform reliability, and security intelligence. **Responsibilities** **Backend Engineering \& Integration** * Design, build, and maintain integrations with 100\+ enterprise platforms, each with unique authentication models, API constraints, and rate limits. * Develop robust, scalable REST APIs using Go to support customer\-facing products and internal services. * Handle complex third\-party API interactions, including authentication flows, retries, error handling, and observability. **Event\-Driven Systems \& Data Processing** * Build and manage event\-driven pipelines to process high\-volume security signals reliably and efficiently. * Design systems that support near real\-time ingestion, transformation, and enrichment of security data. * Ensure data consistency, fault tolerance, and scalability across distributed services. **Data Architecture \& Platform Foundations** * Design multi\-tenant data architectures that support entity resolution, risk scoring, and anomaly detection. * Work extensively with relational databases, designing schemas and writing complex queries to support analytical and operational workloads. * Ensure data security, encryption, and compliance best practices are embedded into platform design. **Cloud Infrastructure \& Deployment** * Deploy and operate backend services using cloud\-native infrastructure. * Leverage managed services for compute, messaging, and databases to support scalable system design. * Implement observability, monitoring, and logging to ensure system reliability and performance. **Collaboration \& Applied AI** * Collaborate closely with Product, Security, and Engineering teams to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions. * Contribute to embedding AI\-driven capabilities into security workflows to enhance detection, prioritization, and response. * Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives. **What Makes You a Strong Fit** * You enjoy building backend systems that operate at scale and solve real\-world problems. * You are comfortable working with complex integrations and external systems. * You take ownership of your work and proactively identify opportunities for improvement. * You thrive in fast\-moving environments where priorities evolve and impact is high. * You value clean design, reliability, and long\-term maintainability. **Required Experience \& Skills** * Strong programming fundamentals, with proficiency in Go preferred (or strong experience in Python, Java, or TypeScript with the ability to ramp up in Go). * Solid experience with relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, including schema design and complex queries. * Experience working with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure acceptable). * Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly. * Self\-directed and comfortable owning tasks from problem definition through execution. **Preferred Experience \& Tools** * Experience building third\-party integrations involving OAuth, webhooks, and API lifecycle management. * Familiarity with event\-driven architectures and messaging systems. * Exposure to security platforms such as identity providers, endpoint security tools, or SIEMs. * Startup experience or demonstrated ability to adapt quickly in evolving environments. * Interest in applied AI or LLM technologies and their use in backend systems. **Education** * Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred. * Open to recent graduates with strong projects, internships, or open\-source contributions. * Candidates with 5\+ years of experience are also encouraged to apply if there is strong role alignment. **What Does a Typical Day Look Like ?** A Software Engineer in this role focuses on building reliable backend systems and integrations that process security data at scale. You will: * Design and implement new integrations and backend services. * Review and improve existing APIs, data pipelines, and schemas. * Collaborate with teammates to solve complex technical challenges. * Debug production issues and improve system reliability. * Contribute ideas to improve platform architecture and long\-term scalability. In short: you build the foundations that enable secure, scalable, and intelligent security workflows. **Key Metrics for Success (KPIs)** * Reliability and performance of backend services and integrations * Successful ingestion and processing of security data * Quality and scalability of API and data architecture * Reduction in integration errors and system failures * Contribution to platform stability and feature delivery **Interview Process** * Initial Phone Screen * Technical Interview with Engineering Team * Practical Assessment (e.g., API design or backend implementation exercise) * Cross\-Functional Interview * Offer \& Background Verification \#LI\-AG1
