This is not a basic CRUD application role. You'll work on: * high-scale backend systems * real-time security data processing * distributed systems * complex third-party integrations * event-driven architectures * scalable APIs and data pipelines If you enjoy solving infrastructure and backend engineering challenges at scale, 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 limiting * retry logic * fault tolerance * error handling * Build scalable and maintainable backend systems Third-Party Integrations * Build integrations across 100+ enterprise systems * Work with: * OAuth * webhooks * external APIs * Ensure: * reliability * observability * scalability * integration stability * Troubleshoot and improve integration performance Event-Driven Systems & Data Pipelines * Design event-driven architectures for security data processing * Build systems for: * data ingestion * transformation * enrichment * Work with: * asynchronous processing * messaging systems * distributed workflows Data Architecture & Databases * Design scalable, multi-tenant backend systems * Work heavily with: * PostgreSQL * Handle: * schema design * complex queries * indexing * performance optimization * data modeling for analytics and operational systems Cloud Infrastructure & Observability * Deploy and manage services across: * Google Cloud Platform (preferred) * AWS * Azure * Work with: * scalable compute * managed storage * messaging systems * Implement: * monitoring * logging * observability * reliability improvements Collaboration & Platform Evolution * Collaborate with: * Product teams * Security teams * Engineering stakeholders * Contribute to: * architecture decisions * technical design reviews * infrastructure improvements * platform scalability * Support AI-powered security workflows and automation initiatives What Makes You a Strong Fit * You enjoy backend engineering more than frontend/UI work * You've built scalable systems and integrations before * You care about: * clean architecture * long-term maintainability * reliability * performance * You take ownership and move quickly in fast-paced environments * You enjoy solving complex technical problems, * OAuth * event-driven systems * messaging queues * distributed architectures * Exposure to: * cybersecurity platforms * SIEM tools * identity management tools * endpoint security tools * Startup or high-growth environment experience * Interest in: * AI systems * LLM-powered workflows * applied AI infrastructure Tools & Technologies * Go (Golang) * PostgreSQL * REST APIs * OAuth / Webhooks * GCP / AWS / Azure * Messaging systems * Monitoring & observability tools What a Typical Day Looks Like * Build and ship backend services in Go * Design integrations with external systems * Debug production issues and improve reliability * Optimize APIs, pipelines, and database queries * Collaborate on architecture and scalability decisions * Improve observability and infrastructure performance In short: You build the backend infrastructure that powers high-scale cybersecurity data processing and integrations. Key Metrics for Success (KPIs) * Backend reliability and uptime * API performance and scalability * Successful processing of high-volume data * Reduction in integration failures * Contribution to platform stability and maintainability * Speed and quality of technical execution Why This Role Stands Out * Work on real distributed systems and backend infrastructure * High-impact engineering role within cybersecurity and data systems * Exposure to: * integrations * scalable architectures * event-driven systems * AI-powered workflows * Opportunity to grow into: * Senior Backend Engineer * Platform Engineer * Systems Architect * Infrastructure Lead * Fully remote environment with strong technical ownership Interview Process * Initial Phone Screen * Technical Interview * Practical Assessment (API / backend task) * Cross-Functional Interview * Offer & Onboarding ## Related Videos - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [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) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [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) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
