Job Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Backend Engineer who thrives on daily hands-on projects and is excited by the opportunity to grow into leading a tight-knit, diverse engineering team. You will be building class-leading architecture and security products, envisioning what cyber risk protection can look like in the APAC region.

This role suits someone who is passionate about building applications, architecture, and products from the ground up or from a POC with the most appropriate technologies available today. A background in cybersecurity is a plus, but not required. However, an excellent grasp of building secure web-based applications and architecture is expected. The ability to learn new processes and plan new system architecture from high-level requirements is a must. An existing solid understanding of web-based applications, RESTful API architecture, and best practices, especially about API security, is important.

Key Responsibilities

Develop new features, fix bugs, and optimize performance to ensure seamless interaction for our partners and customers with our incident responders and Sales/Customer success teams.
Improve our Attack Surface Management tool, proactively securing our customers against potential threats before they become security incidents.
Provide strategic technical insights to business stakeholders, helping shape our approach based on the complexity of technological challenges.
Engage in thorough peer code reviews to maintain high standards and share knowledge within the team.
Take the lead on engineering projects or exploratory work to determine the most effective paths before implementation.
Pass on knowledge and experience to less experienced developers through code reviews and mentoring to grow the team collectively.
Write, test, and maintain code that is used by thousands of customers, ensuring high-quality, maintainable solutions are shipped regularly.
Partner closely with Product, Security Engineering, or Incident Response teams to decide on the best strategies for implementing new features or enhancements.

Qualifications and Experience

A minimum of five years working as a software engineer, ideally with a focus on external customer products. This should exclude any years spent in study or purely on hobby projects.
Proven experience in leading the development or significantly contributing to major products or tools used daily by customers or internal teams. These products should be critical to the organization’s operations or primary revenue stream.
Highly skilled in Ruby on Rails (used for our web application) and preferably also proficient in Python (used for our Attack Surface scanning tool and other backend systems like REST APIs), including performance optimization and building robust test suites.
Experience with using and maintaining CI/CD pipeline infrastructure. Experience with minimal maintenance tasks, such as GitHub Actions, is a plus.
(Nice to have) Experience with systems and tools commonly used in penetration testing and vulnerability detection (to support the development of our Attack Surface Management tool).
(Nice to have) Familiarity with at least one containerized deployment platform such as Google Cloud Run, Amazon ECS, Azure, or Kubernetes and Infrastructure-As-Code (e.g., terraform).
Bachelor’s degree in a related field or a proven history of professional engineering in a team-based environment for at least five years.

Additional Skills

Prioritize test-driven, elegant, maintainable solutions, aided by appropriate terse or detailed documentation, whichever makes the most sense per case.
Natural curiosity and thrive on learning new things.
Value balance in your life and know when to call it a day so that you come back fresh the next morning with class-leading solutions. We do not promote sloppy code and guard against overworked, tired developers, but you must also be good at managing your own time to achieve this.
Passion for efficiency and collaboration, with a history of establishing great relationships with your engineering peers.
Comfortable presenting to a group over video calls periodically, describing how a solution was arrived at and works in layman's terms.
Business fluent written and verbal communication skills in English. Conversational fluency and higher in multiple languages are a plus but not required.
