Remote job
Senior Software Engineer, Security Platform
Job details
About this role
Role overview Build and operate the software platform used by a security team to discover, assess, route, and track security findings. This is a software engineering role focused on services, event-driven infrastructure, and security checks in development pipelines. The goal is to make security tooling dependable and useful for engineering teams without unnecessarily slowing delivery.
Responsibilities - Develop, operate, harden, and retire security services, primarily in Go and Python, running on cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes. - Own the event platform, including message contracts, consumers, delivery guarantees, and observability, so findings and alerts reach the systems that need them. - Connect scanners, the findings record, tickets, and metrics to make remediation status visible and support audit evidence. - Deliver and tune pipeline checks for code, dependencies, secrets, containers, and infrastructure configuration; manage suppressions and reduce false positives. - Roll out checks from advisory reporting to enforcement with tooling designed to preserve developer delivery flow. - Build automated triage, verification, code-review, and remediation-support workflows, including agent-based tools that engineering teams will use. - Help validate findings and provide reproduction context, fix guidance, and routing to responsible teams.
Requirements - Senior software engineering experience building and operating production services. - Strong development skills in Go and Python, with experience in cloud and Kubernetes environments. - Experience with event-driven systems, service integrations, and operational observability. - Practical knowledge of security scanning and pipeline controls, such as static analysis, dependency, secret, container, or infrastructure scanning. - Ability to automate security workflows and introduce enforcement in ways that are reliable and low-noise. - Experience collaborating with software teams on threat modeling or secure design is relevant to the work.
Nice to have Experience building AI-assisted or agent-based engineering workflows, and familiarity with security finding triage and remediation processes.
