📋 Description

• Own end-to-end product development — from idea, research, and architecture to production. • Build and ship AI-powered security products across frontend, backend, and APIs. • Develop scalable, high-quality interfaces and systems that power real user workflows. • Work with minimal specs — define problems, make decisions, and execute independently. • Collaborate when needed, but primarily operate with lean ownership and high autonomy. • Drive adoption and impact — iterate based on real usage, not just requirements. • Leverage LLMs and AI tooling to accelerate development and improve team productivity. • Continuously improve systems, code quality, and developer workflows.

🎯 Requirements

• Is comfortable building end-to-end products (UI, APIs, systems, deployment). • Thinks from first principles, not just patterns or frameworks. • Demonstrates high agency — takes ownership, drives clarity, and executes without waiting. • Writes clean, scalable, maintainable code with strong fundamentals. • Has experience or strong interest in AI-powered development (LLMs, agents, automation, copilots). • Uses AI tools to accelerate development and decision-making. • Can operate in low-structure, fast-moving environments with minimal PM/design dependency. • Makes pragmatic trade-offs — balances speed, quality, and long-term thinking. • Cares about shipping real products, not just building components. • Years of experience does not matter to us, but we think most devs would need 4+ years of engineering experience across frontend + backend. • Interest and knowledge of security is a plus.

🏖️ Benefits

• Sophos operates a remote-first working model, making remote work the primary option for most employees. However, some roles may necessitate a hybrid approach. • Employee-led diversity and inclusion networks that build community and provide education and advocacy • Annual charity and fundraising initiatives and volunteer days for employees to support local communities • Global employee sustainability initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint • Global fitness and trivia competitions to keep our bodies and minds sharp • Global wellbeing days for employees to relax and recharge • Monthly wellbeing webinars and training to support employee health and wellbeing
