About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced software engineer to help drive and evolve our data and AI security product. Our technology is new and rapidly evolving: you’ll be an early contributor with a substantial impact on the architecture and be solving multiple exciting technical challenges!

What You'll Do

You'll design and implement highly scalable and fault-tolerant solutions to protect enterprise data across public clouds (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), SaaS applications, and AI agents.

You'll build security capabilities that provide visibility into and control over how AI agents discover, access, process, and share sensitive enterprise data.

You'll solve real-world scaling problems that require thorough performance analysis and troubleshooting skills.

You'll work with a modern and constantly evolving microservices-based software stack that includes Go, Kubernetes, Bigtable, BigQuery, Spanner, Redis, Docker, and more.

You'll write robust, secure-by-design software that must withstand real-world attacks while processing untrusted data and communicating with hundreds of thousands of endpoints over the internet.

Cloud and SaaS Development: You have extensive experience developing distributed application software for public clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) or SaaS applications.

Data Integration at Scale: You are skilled in integrating and ingesting large-scale data from third-party SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS APIs.

Programming Skills: You have extensive experience developing enterprise-scale applications, preferably in Go. Alternatively, you are proficient in Python, Java, or Rust.
