Summary
Own a major domain end-to-end building Athena, the enterprise-scale clearing house for vulnerability data. Design and ship production Go systems on GCP that ingest, deduplicate, and route security signals.
About the role
What you'll do
- Long-term ownership of a significant domain within the clearing house: customer onboarding workflows, entitlement management, or data validation pipelines
- Drive the architecture and implementation of backend systems in Go on GCP, ensuring they're production-ready: tested, observable, and maintainable
- Lead the design of data pipelines that ingest unstructured vulnerability reports, deduplicate findings, and produce clean structured outputs
- Establish and model engineering best practices for the team: code review standards, testing, incident response
- Partner closely with the principal engineer and manager on technical planning, architecture alignment and roadmap sequencing
- Collaborate with the libraries team on interface contracts and data quality requirements
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of backend engineering experience with a clear track record of owning large, complex systems in production
- Strong Go engineering skills; GCP and Terraform experience
- Experience building systems that process and validate data from heterogeneous, unstructured sources with an analytical, research-based mindset
- You've taken a business problem from prototype or MVP to a reliable, scalable production service
- Experience designing systems with multiple customer entitlement levels, access controls, and workflow routing
- Comfortable with observability tooling: you don't just ship features, you make sure they're healthy in production
- Background in security, supply chain, or infrastructure domains is a plus but not required
