Software Engineer - Go Specialist

Software Engineer (Go / Golang Backend) – Cybersecurity Platform | Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

🚀 About the Role

We’re hiring a Software Engineer (Go / Golang Backend) to build and scale the backend systems powering a modern cybersecurity platform.

This is not a CRUD app role.

You’ll work on:

• High-scale data pipelines
• Complex third-party integrations (100+ systems)
• Real-time security signal processing

If you enjoy building distributed systems, APIs, and data-heavy platforms, this role is a strong fit.

What You’ll Own

Backend Engineering (Go / APIs)

• Build backend services using:
• Go (Golang)

• Design and maintain:
• REST APIs
• Internal microservices

• Handle:
• Authentication flows
• API rate limits
• Retry logic & error handling

Third-Party Integrations (High Complexity)

• Build integrations with 100+ enterprise platforms
• Work with:
• OAuth
• Webhooks
• External APIs

• Ensure:
• Reliability
• Observability
• Fault tolerance

Event-Driven Systems & Data Pipelines

• Design event-driven architectures for security data
• Build pipelines for:
• Ingestion
• Transformation
• Enrichment

• Work with messaging systems and async processing

Data Architecture & Databases

• Design scalable, multi-tenant systems
• Work heavily with:
• PostgreSQL

• Handle:
• Schema design
• Complex queries
• Data modeling for analytics + operations

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Deploy on:
• Google Cloud Platform (preferred)
• Amazon Web Services
• Microsoft Azure

• Use:
• Managed compute
• Messaging systems
• Scalable storage

• Implement:
• Monitoring
• Logging
• Observability

Applied AI & Collaboration

• Work with Product + Security teams
• Help embed AI into workflows:
• Detection
• Prioritization
• Response

• Contribute to:
• Architecture decisions
• Design reviews
• Platform evolution

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You’ve built backend systems at scale
• You enjoy solving complex integration problems
• You care about:
• Reliability
• Clean architecture
• Long-term maintainability

• You take ownership and move fast

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong backend engineering experience
• Proficiency in:
• Go (preferred)
• OR Python / Java / TypeScript (with willingness to learn Go)

• Strong experience with:
• Relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)

• Experience with:
• Cloud platforms (GCP / AWS / Azure)

• Strong communication + ownership mindset

Nice-to-Have (High-Quality Candidates)

• Experience with:
• OAuth, APIs, webhooks
• Event-driven systems / messaging queues

• Exposure to:
• Cybersecurity platforms (SIEM, identity tools, endpoint tools)

• Startup or high-growth environment experience
• Interest in AI / LLMs in backend systems

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Build and ship backend services in Go
• Design integrations with external platforms
• Debug production issues and improve reliability
• Optimize APIs, pipelines, and database queries
• Collaborate on architecture and scaling decisions

In short: you build the infrastructure that processes security data at scale.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

• Backend reliability & uptime
• Successful processing of high-volume data
• API performance & scalability
• Reduction in integration failures
• Contribution to system stability

Interview Process

• Initial Phone Screen
• Technical Interview
• Practical Assessment (API / backend task)
• Cross-Functional Interview
• Offer

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on real distributed systems, not basic apps
• High-impact role in cybersecurity + data engineering
• Exposure to:
• Integrations
• AI workflows
• Scalable architecture

• Strong growth into:
• Senior Engineer
• Platform Engineer
• Systems Architect

Apply Now

If you:

• Enjoy backend systems more than UI
• Like solving messy integration problems
• Want to work on real-scale infrastructure

This role is a strong fit.
