Education: Bachelor's Degree

Requirements: • Experience: 5+ years of professional software development experience. • Technical Depth: Strong proficiency in Go with deep understanding of configuration, deployment, and service design. • Problem Solving: Ability to independently design testing strategies and resolve complex technical challenges. • Communication: Effectively communicates Agile concepts and collaborates closely with cross-functional partners. • Impact-Driven: Delivers secure, high-performance, low-latency solutions and understands downstream system impact. • Continuous Learner: Actively stays current with evolving technologies through training and self-directed learning. • Go: 4+ years building and maintaining production Go services, modules, and tests. • Security & Cryptography: 2+ years designing and operating Vault integrations and KMS-style key management, including secure key lifecycles. • Detection Engines: Hands-on experience with YARA/YARA-X or similar pattern-matching engines; familiarity with algorithms such as Aho-Corasick is a plus. • Databases: 3+ years of Postgres experience, including migrations, indexing, and performance tuning. • Streaming & Messaging: Experience with Kafka or similar streaming platforms; familiarity with Benthos or equivalent tools. • Infrastructure: Proficiency with Docker, Docker Compose, Dockerfile optimization, and Makefile-driven workflows. • Observability: Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and metrics instrumentation.

Preferred Qualifications: • Experience with Temporal or similar workflow orchestration engines. • Exposure to Solr/Lucene search tuning and optimization. • LDAP and/or OIDC integration experience. • Deep understanding of pattern-matching algorithm performance trade-offs.

Job Duties: Platform Development • Maintain and extend a high-performance detection platform, including consumer rule processors (YARA/YARA-X), event producers, APIs, and asynchronous workflows. • Contribute to the ongoing evolution of backend architecture to support scalability and reliability. Secrets Management & Security • Own the design, implementation, and operation of Vault-backed secrets workflows and encryption proxies (KMS). • Review, harden, and remediate key usage patterns and encryption lifecycles. Data & Storage • Design, implement, and optimize Postgres schema migrations and queries. • Integrate and support search capabilities using Solr/Lucene when required. Reliability & Scale • Troubleshoot and optimize high-throughput streaming pipelines (Kafka/Benthos). • Ensure idempotency, backpressure handling, and robust observability using metrics and tracing. Engineering Excellence • Improve test coverage through unit, integration, and golden tests. • Enhance CI/CD pipelines (e.g., golangci-lint) and optimize Docker-based developer workflows.

Job Summary: We are seeking an experienced Backend Engineer to drive the evolution of our Go-based detection platform. In this role, you will design, build, and maintain high-throughput consumer pipelines, secure secrets-management workflows, and resilient asynchronous systems. You'll work at the intersection of backend engineering, cryptography, and data engineering to deliver scalable, security-focused solutions with real-world impact.
