We are looking for backend engineers who care deeply about software design, cloud-native infrastructure, and container security. This is a high-impact role with real ownership - lead features end-to-end, mentor teammates, and help shape the technical direction of KSPM offering.
Our Stack: Python, Go, K8s APIs, K8s ecosystem tooling (OPA/Gatekeeper, admission controllers), Docker & container runtimes, SingleStore, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, SQS, ElasticSearch, AWS, GCP, Azure.
What Youll Do:
Design & build at scale: Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend services that discover, onboard, scan, and analyze Kubernetes environments across multi-cloud and managed clusters.
Model K8s security: Map and represent Kubernetes resources as clean data models that surface misconfigurations, exposure risks, and compliance violations.
Integrate detection engines: Integrate and evolve detection engines for container vulnerabilities, secrets, RBAC risks, misconfigurations, and compliance frameworks.
Collaborate on research & product: Partner with security researchers and product managers to translate novel findings and complex requirements into impactful features.
Design for quality: Write clean, well-tested code in Python or Go, with thoughtful abstractions and APIs that keep the system correct and maintainable as it grows.
Lead & mentor: Lead design discussions and code reviews that uphold high engineering and security standards across the team.
Own it end-to-end: Own features through their full lifecycle - from technical specification and design through implementation, testing, and release.
Requirements: 6+ years of professional software development experience.
Hands on experience with Python or Go - Must.
Strong background building microservices, cloud native services, and distributed systems that handle large scale workloads.
Deep understanding of software design principles, concurrency models, data structures, and algorithms.
Solid familiarity with public cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerized workflows (Docker, container runtimes).
Self-driven and proactive, comfortable taking a complex technical challenge e2e.
Excellent communicator with a team-first mindset that thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
This position is open to all candidates.
