About the job
Your Impact
You will be developing containerized (micro) services for a distributed multi-tenant system that process data and real time events and network telemetry from multiple public clouds to provide real time insights, visibility, and security recommendations to customers so they can identify and minimize risk in the cloud. You will design your service, work out all of the details, defend the design/architecture before your peers, and deliver a rock-solid implementation. You will also mentor junior engineers, new-grads, and interns to help them grow as engineers and become productive members of the team. You will primarily write code in Go and work with data pipeline using SQL or other types of interfaces. We leverage Kubernetes for service infrastructure platform.
Own critical features and subsystems and own the entire software development lifecycle, from clarifying requirements to ensuring their successful deployment and usage by customers. Own operational aspects of the system, being on the front lines and experiencing first-hand the challenges of operating such a system, will make you understand how to write better more supportable software, like no other experience.
Own code quality, as we do early developer testing and functional/integration testing to ensure we build robust and resilient products. Partner with Product Management to review, refine requirement that exceed our customers’ expectations. Develop deep understanding of the fundamental problems our customers need solved through interaction with stakeholders and peers.
