Descripción del empleo

We empower developers with best-in-class tools to build secure, high-quality software at scale. Our mission is to create a world where software is always secure and developers can innovate without fear. Trusted by thousands of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, we are pioneers in software supply chain management, open-source security, and DevSecOps.

Role Overview:

As a Lead Full Stack Engineer, you will head high-impact engineering initiatives at the intersection of complex full-stack web architectures, frontier AI, and software supply chain defense. You will design, build, and maintain robust frontend and backend systems while leveraging advanced AI models, automated testing, and security tooling to ensure our products, codebases, and infrastructure remain scalable, resilient, and secure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Full-Stack Architecture & Development: Lead the design, implementation, and scaling of robust backend services and intuitive frontend interfaces across our product ecosystem.
• Risk Mitigation & Code Quality: Identify and prioritize performance, scalability, and security risks across first-party code, services, and software supply chain components.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with Product, Design, and Security Research teams to translate complex requirements, novel AI findings, and architectural patterns into production-ready software features.
• Modern AI-SDLC Champion: Champion modern AI-assisted development practices by integrating automated coding standards, detection logic, and secure coding playbooks into the everyday engineering workflow.
• Technical Leadership & Fixes: Provide engineering-ready architectural proposals, guide technical decisions, perform deep code reviews, and drive complex pull requests to completion.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience: 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in a Lead Engineer, Staff Engineer, or equivalent technical leadership role managing complex frontend and backend ecosystems.
• Code Proficiency: Strong ability to write and reason about complex codebases, with deep expertise in Java, Kotlin, or other JVM-based backend systems, alongside modern frontend frameworks.
• Tooling & Methods: Hands-on experience with application engineering testing methods and quality tools (such as SAST, DAST, SCA, threat modeling, or automated unit/integration validation).
• AI & Automation: Practical experience using AI-assisted engineering, automated analysis, or DevSecOps automation techniques to improve software deployment and quality outcomes.
• DevOps Culture: Solid understanding of cloud-native architecture, CI/CD workflows, build pipelines, containers, and modern DevOps practices.
• Communication & Language: Ability to translate technical findings into practical risk-based priorities and clear engineering guidance. Advanced English (B2+) is required for daily cross-functional collaboration.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience.
• Leadership: Passion for raising the engineering bar through technical leadership, mentoring junior developers, and fostering continuous improvement.

Desirable Certifications (Plus):

• SANS Certifications: GSEC, GCLD, or equivalent cloud/architecture training.
• (ISC)² Certifications: CSSLP (Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional), CISSP, or equivalent security-by-design credentials.
• Opportunity to directly shape company culture and employee experience.
• A collaborative and inclusive work environment.
• Growth opportunities within a dynamic organization
