About the Role
We are on a mission to revolutionize how security and DevOps teams address cloud security management. We are building a platform that provides immediate fixes for infrastructure as code deployments, eliminating the need for manual remediation efforts. This innovative approach significantly reduces the time to address security vulnerabilities, as a majority of cloud breaches stem from misconfigurations.
As part of a seed-funded startup, you will play a crucial role in shaping our technical direction and contributing to a positive team culture. We value ownership, continuous learning, and a strong work ethic.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain backend services that power our AI engine, enabling data ingestion, insight generation, and delivering valuable information to customers.
- Design and build robust APIs using GraphQL and REST.
- Develop and implement parsers for various Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) languages to translate AI-generated fixes into actionable code modifications for our customers.
- Ensure secure and reliable deployment of services within a microservices architecture.
- Analyze data to identify key insights that inform product decisions and enhance the performance of our AI-driven remediation engine.
- Contribute to various aspects of the business as needed, reflecting the dynamic and fast-paced environment of a growing startup.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in backend software development.
- Proven experience in API design using OpenAPI specifications.
- Expertise in using Typescript and Javascript for Node.js applications.
- Strong understanding of API design principles, including schema definition for GraphQL and REST.
- Excellent analytical and communication skills.
- Proficiency in SQL, including the ability to query, join datasets, perform data transformations, and execute aggregation operations.
- Experience in backend service development using both loosely typed (e.g., Javascript, Python) and strongly typed languages (e.g., Java, Go).
- Proven ability to design and work with relational and key-value databases such as PostgreSQL and DynamoDB.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in developing data solutions for security products and a strong understanding of security data.
- Expertise in developing parsers and metaprogramming, or experience with creating developer productivity frameworks/libraries.
- Strong proficiency in Go.
- Advanced knowledge of GraphQL API design.
- Experience building and operating production workloads on public cloud providers using Infrastructure as Code.
- 3+ years of experience with Type-Safe languages.
- Demonstrated ability to take initiative and independently identify and address critical issues.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code and cloud architecture best practices.
- Strong preference for candidates located in NYC or with demonstrated experience in successful remote work arrangements.
