In this role, you'll work on technically complex, real-world problems every day building new, innovative capabilities while continuously improving and scaling existing systems. You'll operate in a modern, cloud-native environment and have genuine ownership over what you deliver, from early architectural design through to deployment, monitoring, and long-term optimisation in production. The platform integrates deeply with AWS, GCP, and Azure, and makes heavy use of technologies such as: * Golang * Java * Kubernetes * Docker * eBPF * Distributed systems at scale This is not a "ticket factory" role it's an engineering-first environment where you'll solve meaningful problems that directly impact global customers. As a Backend Software Engineer, you'll: * Own services end to end: design, build, deploy, monitor, and iterate * Contribute to technical and architectural decisions * Perform reliability and performance analysis on Golang / Java-based systems * Conduct high-quality design and code reviews * Work closely with Product, Frontend, and DevOps teams to deliver best-in-class features * Contribute to capacity planning and SLO definition * Continuously improve scalability, performance, and reliability You'll be building and enhancing data-intensive systems that operate in highly dynamic production environments. This is a modern cloud security startup operating at runtime to protect customer infrastructure using deep system visibility and contextual data. Unlike traditional tools, the platform leverages runtime insights and eBPF-powered sensors to identify and prioritise real risks enabling customers to detect threats, reduce risk exposure, and respond automatically at scale. Despite being under two years old locally, the business is already: * Well-funded * Commercially proven * Scaling globally * Backed by serious investment It's a rare opportunity to join early - but with strong financial backing and clear product-market fit. You'll work with a genuinely modern stack, including ## Related Videos - [Coffee with developers - Brian Morrison](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/902-coffee-with-developers-brian-morrison) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
