As a Full Stack Engineer on our team, you will be a key contributor to the evolution of our product platform. We are looking for a versatile developer who thrives on the challenge of building from the ground up—someone who is equally comfortable helping to shape a robust technical architecture as they are diving into the day-to-day work of feature development, system design, and ticket execution across the entire stack.
You will work as a core member of an agile team, partnering closely with Product, Design, and engineering peers to translate requirements into scalable server-side logic and high-performance, user-centric interfaces. This role is ideal for a proactive, end-to-end contributor who is energized by the complete development lifecycle—from defining database schemas and cloud-native microservices to building modern web applications—ensuring a seamless, reliable, and secure experience for our customers.
What You’ll Do
- End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of features from architectural backend design to frontend deployment, including day-to-day development tasks, system optimizations, and ticket execution.
- Infrastructure & Scalability: Build and maintain modern backend and frontend infrastructure, ensuring systems are scalable, resilient, and optimized for high-performance data processing and exceptional UI response times.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, UX/UI Design, and engineering peers to bridge the gap between backend logic and intuitive frontend user experiences.
- API & Data Design: Design and implement efficient data contracts, robust APIs, and service specifications to ensure smooth data flow and optimal system integration.
- Engineering Excellence: Establish and maintain high standards for code quality, component reusability, modularity, and testing (both backend and frontend) in a production-ready environment.
What You’ll Need
- BSc in Computer Science or a related degree from a recognized institution, OR equivalent strong technical experience.
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering end-to-end features (both Backend and Frontend) in large-scale production environments.
- Backend Proficiency: Strong experience with distributed systems, cloud-native architecture (e.g., Kubernetes, microservices), and one or more backend languages such as Python, Kotlin, Java, Go, or equivalent.
- Frontend Proficiency: Deep proficiency in TypeScript and hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks (such as Angular or React), along with a solid understanding of UI/UX principles.
- Cloud Experience: Practical knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and best practices for deploying and maintaining cloud-based services.
- Mindset: Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, high autodidactic abilities to adapt to new tools, and a collaborative team spirit.
Bonus Points / Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience working in a Cybersecurity company or on security-focused projects (SaaS B2B).
- Experience with complex data visualization or handling high-throughput data processing systems.
