reliability improvements ### **Collaboration & Platform Evolution** - Collaborate with: - Product teams - Security teams - Engineering stakeholders - Contribute to: - architecture decisions - technical design reviews - infrastructure improvements - platform scalability - Support AI-powered security workflows and automation initiatives ### **What Makes You a Strong Fit** - You enjoy backend engineering more than frontend/UI work - You’ve built scalable systems and integrations before - You care about: - clean architecture - long-term maintainability - reliability - performance - You take ownership and move quickly in fast-paced environments - You enjoy solving complex technical problems ### **Requirements (Must-Have)** ### **Engineering Experience** - Strong backend engineering experience - Proficiency in: - Go (preferred) - OR Python / Java / TypeScript with willingness to learn Go - Experience building APIs and distributed backend systems ### **Databases & Infrastructure** - Strong experience with: - relational databases - PostgreSQL preferred - Experience with: - cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure) - Familiarity with: - APIs - webhooks - authentication systems - async processing ### **Communication & Ownership** - Strong problem-solving ability - Ownership mindset and ability to work independently - Strong written and verbal communication skills - Comfortable collaborating across technical and non-technical teams ### **Nice to Have** - Experience with: - OAuth - event-driven systems - messaging queues - distributed architectures - Exposure to: - cybersecurity platforms - SIEM tools - identity management tools - endpoint security tools - Startup or high-growth environment experience - Interest in: - AI systems - LLM-powered workflows - applied AI infrastructure ### **Tools & Technologies** - Go (Golang) - PostgreSQL - REST APIs - OAuth / Webhooks - GCP / AWS / Azure - Messaging systems - Monitoring & observability tools ### **What a Typical Day Looks Like** - Build and ship backend services in Go - Design integrations with external systems - Debug production issues and improve reliability - Optimize APIs, pipelines, and database queries - Collaborate on architecture and scalability decisions - Improve observability and infrastructure performance **In short:** You build the backend infrastructure that powers high-scale cybersecurity data processing and integrations. ### **Key Metrics for Success (KPIs)** - Backend reliability and uptime - API performance and scalability - Successful processing of high-volume data - Reduction in integration failures - Contribution to platform stability and maintainability - Speed and quality of technical execution ### **Why This Role Stands Out** - Work on real distributed systems and backend infrastructure - High-impact engineering role within cybersecurity and data systems - Exposure to: - integrations - scalable architectures - event-driven systems - AI-powered workflows - Opportunity to grow into: - Senior Backend Engineer - Platform Engineer - Systems Architect - Infrastructure Lead - Fully remote environment with strong technical ownership ### **Interview Process** - Initial Phone Screen - Technical Interview - Practical Assessment (API / backend task) - Cross-Functional Interview - Offer & Onboarding ### **Apply Now** If you: - enjoy backend systems more than frontend work - like solving complex integration and infrastructure problems - want to build scalable systems used in cybersecurity environments - thrive in engineering-heavy, high-impact environments this is a strong opportunity to work on modern backend infrastructure at scale. ## Apply [Apply at Pavago](https://apply.workable.com/pavago/j/ECE3B91A6C/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
