About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Serve as the Tech Lead for the Exposure Management team, driving technical direction across services and strengthening architecture and system design practices.
  • Own the migration plan and execution to bring legacy ASM functionality onto the new Exposure Management platform, balancing customer commitments on the legacy product with the long-term migration roadmap.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of backend services, resolving complex legacy behavior and ensuring seamless interoperability with the new platform.
  • Drive technical alignment across shared systems, improving coordination, scalability, and engineering effectiveness.
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence through mentorship, architectural leadership, and high engineering standards.
  • Leverage AI and LLM technologies to improve engineering efficiency, streamline development workflows, and enhance intelligent capabilities within the Exposure Management platform.

What You’ll Bring

  • A positive attitude biased towards action and iterative problem solving, even in legacy code.
  • A deep understanding of how the Internet works (e.g., WHOIS, Certificate Subject Alternative Names (SANs), DNS record types).
  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering.
  • 5+ years of experience with Golang.
  • Strong distributed systems background, including building horizontally scalable systems with high availability and fault-tolerance.
  • Experience with service-oriented architectures and the operational stack (gRPC/REST, microservices, GCP, Kubernetes).
  • Ability to quickly navigate unfamiliar legacy systems, reverse-engineer existing behavior, and resolve complex issues.
  • Strong communication and technical design skills, including documenting architectures and driving solutions from concept to implementation.
  • Open to using AI to amplify skills and strengthen work.

What Sets You Apart

  • Passion for integrating AI and LLM technologies into engineering workflows.
  • Experience leading product migrations or platform consolidations.
  • Familiarity with microservice-based designs using GCP PubSub or similar event-driven architectures.
  • Focus on building maintainable software (test coverage, CI, linters, code complexity checks, design patterns).
