-   Architecture decisions
-   Design reviews
-   Platform evolution

### **What Makes You a Strong Fit**

-   You’ve built **backend systems at scale**
-   You enjoy solving **complex integration problems**
-   You care about:

-   Reliability
-   Clean architecture
-   Long-term maintainability

-   You take ownership and move fast

### **Required Experience & Skills**

-   Strong backend engineering experience
-   Proficiency in:

-   Go (preferred)
-   OR Python / Java / TypeScript (with willingness to learn Go)

-   Strong experience with:

-   Relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)

-   Experience with:

-   Interest in AI / LLMs in backend systems

### **What a Typical Day Looks Like**

-   Build and ship backend services in Go
-   Design integrations with external platforms
-   Debug production issues and improve reliability
-   Optimize APIs, pipelines, and database queries
-   Collaborate on architecture and scaling decisions

**In short:** you build the infrastructure that processes security data at scale.

### **Key Metrics (KPIs)**

-   Backend reliability & uptime
-   Successful processing of high-volume data
-   API performance & scalability
-   Reduction in integration failures
-   Contribution to system stability

### **Interview Process**

-   Initial Phone Screen
-   Technical Interview
-   **Practical Assessment (API / backend task)**
-   Cross-Functional Interview
-   Offer

### **Why This Role Stands Out**

-   Work on **real distributed systems**, not basic apps
-   High-impact role in **cybersecurity + data engineering**
-   Exposure to:

-   Integrations
-   AI workflows
-   Scalable architecture

-   Strong growth into:

-   Senior Engineer
-   Platform Engineer
-   Systems Architect

### **Apply Now**

If you:
