We combine the momentum of a hyper-growth company with the mission-critical impact of an enterprise leader.

Job Overview

We are looking for a Technical Lead Engineer to drive the backend architecture and development of our next-generation XDR platform. In this role, you will lead the design of highly scalable, low-latency backend services that ingest, process, correlate, and analyse security telemetry from millions of endpoints. This position perfectly balances hands-on engineering, system architecture, technical leadership, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

Own the architecture, design, and implementation of mission-critical backend services powering the XDR platform.

Design and build highly scalable, fault-tolerant, low-latency distributed systems capable of processing massive volumes of concurrent security events.

Develop cloud-native microservices with a strong emphasis on reliability, scalability, observability, and raw performance.

Lead technical design discussions, make critical architectural decisions aligning with long-term platform goals, and mentor/coach engineers through code reviews and knowledge sharing.





Collaborate closely with Product Management, Security Research, Endpoint Engineering, DevOps, and QA teams to translate complex business requirements into robust technical solutions.

Continuously improve platform performance through deep JVM tuning, database optimization, caching strategies, and asynchronous processing.

Define and enhance engineering processes around CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment, real-time monitoring, and incident response.

Required

8+ years of deep experience in Java software engineering, with a proven history of building and scaling enterprise-grade applications.

Strong expertise in distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native architectures (AWS experience is highly preferred).

Deep understanding of SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Cassandra, Redis).

Hands-on experience with Elasticsearch (or other Lucene-based search engines) and Big Data frameworks (Kafka, Spark, Flink) is a major plus.

Proficiency in scripting and automation tools to streamline development and deployment pipelines.

Exceptional communication, technical documentation, and stakeholder management skills, alongside a genuine passion for mentoring technical teams.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
