Staff Software Engineer
RemoteMexico or Argentina
Job Summary
Own the architecture and long-term direction of the security product's API and UI, defining data contracts for ingestion, classification, and alerting services. Integrate telemetry from diverse sources including syslog, NetFlow, SNMP, firewall logs, OpenTelemetry, EDR, and MDR into a consistent model, while surfacing enriched entities and topology for analyst investigation. Make cloud environments and their audit trails first-class components of the platform rather than afterthoughts. Drive architectural decisions in ambiguous, cross-functional spaces where requirements are incomplete, setting technical patterns and standards for the team. Mentor engineers on Go engineering practices and application architecture to raise the bar for production-grade work.
Required Qualifications
- Deep, production-proven experience with Go, including designing, building, and owning services end to end, from API design through deployment and operations
- Full-stack range: comfortable owning both the backend and API layer and the UI or front-end experience for a product surface, not just one side of the stack
- Production experience with high-volume, latency-sensitive infrastructure: distributed messaging or event streaming (e.g., Kafka) and search or indexing at scale (e.g., OpenSearch), or clear equivalents
- Comfort with contract-driven development across teams, using schema or interface definitions like protobuf to keep multiple services honest to a shared contract
- A demonstrated track record of ramping into new, unfamiliar technical or business domains quickly, and reasoning clearly about systems you didn't build
- A track record of owning architectural decisions in ambiguous, cross-functional spaces and driving them to durable outcomes, including influencing shared standards beyond your immediate team
- Comfort operating with significant autonomy where requirements are incomplete or competing
- Working knowledge of cloud environments and how they're operated and audited in production
