Job Description - Senior Software Engineer, Scanning Engine

Responsibilities



  • Own end-to-end systems design for key components of the scanning engine, from initial design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing iteration

  • Design and implement high-quality services in Python and Go that power our scanning workflows, ensuring code is maintainable, well-tested, and observable.

  • Improve performance, scalability, and reliability of the scanning engine, optimizing for large-scale, distributed scanning workloads and strict SLAs.

  • Partner with security, product, and data teams to translate detection and scanning requirements into robust, production-ready systems and APIs.

  • Drive technical excellence and standards in the scanning engine codebase, including code review rigor, design documentation, and best practices for secure coding.

  • Contribute to architecture and roadmap decisions for the scanning platform, evaluating tradeoffs and proposing solutions that balance speed, quality, and risk.

  • Diagnose and resolve complex production issues related to scanning performance, accuracy, and stability, collaborating with SRE/Infra teams where needed.

  • Mentor and support other engineers on the team through design feedback, pairing, and knowledge sharing around systems design and scanning domain concepts.


Skills and Qualifications



  • Strong experience as a Senior Software Engineer (or equivalent) working on backend or systems-level services.

  • Proficiency in at least one of Python or Go, with the ability and willingness to work in both languages over time.

  • Demonstrated experience with systems design for distributed or high-availability services, including clear understanding of scalability, reliability, and observability.

  • Hands-on experience building or maintaining scanning, detection, or similar engine-like systems (e.g., vulnerability scanning, security scanning, data processing pipelines, or similar high-throughput engines).

  • TODO: Clarify how strict security/scanning background is vs. openness to adjacent domains (data pipelines, compilers, search, etc.).

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and performance optimization.

  • Experience working in a cloud-native environment (e.g., microservices, containers, CI/CD, monitoring, logging).

  • TODO: Confirm primary cloud provider(s) and any required tools (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.).

  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams, including product, security, and platform/infra, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Proven track record of owning projects end-to-end, from problem definition and design through implementation, rollout, and iteration.

  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment, making pragmatic technical decisions while maintaining quality and security.

  • Experience with code quality practices (testing, static analysis, code reviews) and building maintainable systems.


Bonus Points



  • Cyber security domain knowledge in scanning through endpoints.
