📋 Description

• Long-term ownership of a significant domain within the clearing house: customer onboarding workflows, entitlement management, or data validation pipelines • Drive the architecture and implementation of backend systems in Go on GCP, ensuring they're 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 and model engineering best practices for the team: code review standards, testing, incident response • Partner closely 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 clear track record of owning large, complex systems in production • Strong Go engineering skills; GCP and Terraform experience • Experience building systems that process and validate data from heterogeneous, unstructured sources  with an analytical, research-based mindset • You've taken 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 • Comfortable with observability tooling:  you don't just ship features, you make sure they're healthy in production • Background in security, supply chain, or infrastructure domains is a plus but not required

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs. • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!). • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck. • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset. • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
