Why This Organisation
Our client is a next generation cloud security platform company that uses runtime context to identify and prioritise critical risks across cloud infrastructure.
Unlike traditional security tooling, they take a proactive approach — using real time runtime data for risk prioritisation and posture insights so engineering teams can focus on what actually matters.
With eBPF powered sensors, agentless cloud posture discovery, real time threat protection and integrated API security, their platform delivers end to end cloud infrastructure protection across all major cloud providers.
The Role and What It Can Do For Your Career
This is a Backend Engineer position within a high performing engineering team working across all major cloud providers with a cutting edge technology stack.
You will take full ownership of the lifecycle of projects from initial design through to deployment, monitoring and maintenance in production.
You will contribute to technical and architectural designs, perform reliability and performance analysis and work closely with teams across Frontend, DevOps and Product to deliver high quality features.
The career value here is significant.
You will be working on distributed systems problems across cloud native infrastructure in a domain cloud security, that is growing faster than almost any other area of technology.
The eBPF and runtime security domain is technically demanding and the experience you build here, across Golang, Kubernetes, Neo4j, TimescaleDB, and multi-cloud infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the full lifecycle of projects from initial design and development through to deployment, monitoring and maintenance in productionPerform reliability and performance analysis on Golang and Java based applicationsContribute to technical and architectural designs, capacity planning and the definition of SLOsConduct design and code reviews as part of the wider engineering groupCollaborate across Frontend, DevOps and Product teams to deliver high quality featuresWork with cutting edge technologies including Kubernetes, Docker, Neo4j, ElasticSearch, Redis, TimescaleDB and RabbitMQ
What you will need:
1 or more years of back end engineering experience in a high level programming language, ideally Golang and/or JavaExperience with cloud platforms and products across AWS, GCP and/or AzureExperience implementing data intensive systems including databases, event systems and messaging systemsSolid understanding of CI and CD practicesExperience with microservices based architectureDegree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field
Why You Should Apply Now
Cloud security is one of the fastest growing areas of technology and eBPF powered runtime security is at the cutting edge of that space.
This is an opportunity to join a technically ambitious team solving genuinely hard problems, from impressive Belfast city centre offices, with a salary range that reflects a genuine commitment to hiring strong engineers at multiple experience levels.
