Staff Software Engineer, On-prem
The Exposure Management group builds the products customers use to discover their attack surface, assess risk across assets, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and decide what to fix first. You'll report directly to the Director of Engineering and work across all of the group's teams as its senior technical leader. You'll set the architecture, lead the group's use of AI, and connect the teams so they deliver one product rather than several separate ones.
What will you do
Define and own the architecture across Exposure Management, from vision through production.
Lead high-impact projects across teams hands-on, and act as the technical link that keeps them aligned.
Drive AI adoption, both in how we build (AI-assisted development) and in what we build (LLM and agent-based features).
Set engineering standards and make pragmatic trade-offs on technology and tech debt.
Partner with Product and leadership to turn business goals into technical strategy.
What skills and experience should you bring
Experience: 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including experience as a tech lead.
Architecture: Proven experience designing large-scale distributed and event-driven systems (Kafka/SQS), high-scale APIs and data models.
Engineering: Strong hands-on coding skills and a solid foundation in system design, algorithms and testing.
Leadership: Strong ownership, cross-team influence without formal authority, clear communication, and comfort with ambiguity.
Big advantage:
Practical experience building with LLMs (RAG, agents, evaluation) and driving AI adoption within engineering teams.
Background in cybersecurity, especially vulnerability management, attack surface management or CNAPP.
