Description
Are you excited about building a cybersecurity product that protects organizations from sophisticated email threats?
Do you love frontend development, but also want to own features end-to-end from the user experience to the backend services and data behind it?
Do you thrive in a fast-moving scale-up where priorities evolve, expectations are high, and you have the freedom and responsibility to get things done?
Has AI fundamentally changed the way you develop software and are you constantly looking for ways to use it to build better software, faster?
Then you should definitely read on.
Tasks
In this role, you will
build and evolve the product our customers use to understand, configure, and operate their email security
own features end-to-end from the frontend through APIs and backend services to the underlying data
put particular care into the frontend, creating intuitive and polished user experiences for complex cybersecurity problems
work across the full stack, with roughly equal exposure to frontend and backend development
use AI extensively throughout the engineering process to explore, design, implement, test, debug, review, and improve software
work with technologies including React, Java, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Nginx, and Docker
take ownership and drive things forward from figuring out what needs to be built to designing, shipping, operating, and continuously improving it
work closely with product, security, and engineering colleagues, making pragmatic decisions and turning evolving customer and business needs into great product experiences
shape our product and engineering practices by bringing in your own ideas and challenging existing approaches
Requirements
You should apply if you
are a strong software engineer who enjoys building complete product features, not just individual components
genuinely enjoy frontend development and care about creating user interfaces that are intuitive, responsive, and polished
are equally willing to leave the frontend and work on APIs, backend services, databases, and infrastructure when that's what a feature requires
are comfortable stepping outside the code when needed whether that means working in design tools, prototyping an interaction, or thinking through a user flow
are highly proficient in AI-assisted software engineering and use AI as an integral part of how you design, write, test, debug, and review software
have solid experience with modern frontend development, ideally with React
have experience developing backend applications; experience with Java, or a comparable language is particularly relevant
thrive in a fast-moving environment, can make pragmatic decisions with incomplete information, and adapt quickly when priorities change
have a strong bias toward action: you identify what needs to be done, move things forward, and don't wait for every detail to be specified
set a high bar for yourself and your work, while knowing when a pragmatic solution today is better than a perfect solution too late
care about software quality and understand that using AI effectively requires engineering judgment, not less of it
communicate clearly in English, our main language at work
A big plus would be if you
have strong experience with React and modern frontend architecture
have strong experience with Java and its ecosystem
have worked with technologies from our stack, such as PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Nginx, Docker, and Linux
have a good eye for UX and enjoy turning complex workflows and data into simple, understandable interfaces
bring experience in cybersecurity, email security, or related technical domains
have experience building and operating B2B on-premise and SaaS products
Benefits
What we offer you
a fair and transparent compensation system
real ownership from day one: the freedom to make decisions, the responsibility to deliver, and the opportunity to have a visible impact
a fast-moving scale-up environment with short paths from idea to decision to production
an engineering environment where AI is deeply integrated into how we build software
the opportunity to have a visible impact on a product that protects organizations from real-world cyber threats
a hardware budget to accommodate your individual preferences and needs
hybrid working, flexible working hours, and a great office in Zurich
regular events, including Tech Talks, company lunches and office events
five weeks of paid vacation
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Join us and help build the product that enables security teams to protect their organizations from today's email threats.
At xorlab, you'll have the freedom to shape what we build, how we build it, and how we use AI to become better software engineers.
We do not consider applications from recruitment agencies.
