We work with modern, cloud-native technologies including Python, AWS, and Go to deliver scalable, high-impact security solutions. Our engineers play a central role in building reliable systems that customers depend on every day

About the Role

As a Software Engineer II, you will contribute to building and enhancing the systems that power our cloud security capabilities. You will primarily focus on implementing small-to-medium features, improving reliability, and supporting scalable cloud-native services within the CSPM domain.

You will work closely with Senior and Staff engineers, growing your technical depth while taking increasing ownership of defined areas of the codebase.

Specifically, you will:

• Own the execution of small-to-medium features from technical design through completion, with guidance as needed

• Participate in technical design discussions and contribute thoughtful input

• Develop a strong understanding of at least one major area of the codebase, while maintaining a high-level view of adjacent systems

• Read and understand unfamiliar code to diagnose issues or extend functionality

• Support on-call responsibilities for the areas of the system you contribute to

• Collaborate with Product and peer engineers to prioritize effectively and avoid unnecessary complexity

• Learn quickly, incorporate feedback, and steadily increase independence over time
   

The skills you’ll bring include:

• 2–5 years of software development experience, with hands-on experience in Python or a comparable backend language

• Experience building or maintaining backend services in a cloud environment

• Familiarity with AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, or AliCloud

• Understanding of REST APIs, microservices, or distributed system fundamentals

• Ability to debug issues within a defined service or subsystem

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

• Embody our core values to foster a culture of excellence that drives meaningful impact and collective success.
