Description du poste

Risk Ledger is developing a network of connected organisations, all working together to defend against cybersecurity attacks in the supply chain.

Organisations rely on us to establish trust, through sharing their security maturity and visualising the risks posed by their supply chain ecosystem. And we’re already trusted by customers like ASOS, British Airways, BAE Systems and the NHS.

We are putting together an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to drive us towards our vision. Risk Ledger is built on the respect we have for one another and our users, united by our shared values and mission.

Every one of us is still learning: it’s how we grow as individuals. We’re curious. We’re ambitious. And we’re humble and honest. At Risk Ledger, we aim high to find the best solutions we can and always put our users first.

The team:

You’ll join a cross-functional department of Software Engineers, Product Managers and Designers, all collaborating together with the wider business to achieve impactful product outcomes.

Everyone is involved from day one in shaping opportunities that provide outsized value to both clients and suppliers on Risk Ledger, keeping our users as top priority.

We care deeply about building the right thing, in order to fundamentally shift mindsets in the cybersecurity industry. We ship quickly&continuously in order to learn and iterate - whilst always pushing for the highest possible quality bar and keeping security and automation front and centre.

The core of our stack is GoLang, AWS, and Vue.js, with modern design philosophies and a cloud-native approach.

This role:

Our Product Engineers play a crucial role in our user and product experience. You will be focused on solving innovative end-to-end product challenges in the best manner for our customers. Whilst you may have a natural inclination towards the backend or frontend, we expect you to have a good breadth of knowledge across the stack. You’ll delve into all aspects of our tech stack and product portfolio, having meaningful impact on our customers, and the overall success of the business.

As a Senior engineer, you’ll be embedded in a squad, trusted to autonomously lead and own impact in your area with little oversight. You should expect to work across the full stack, taking ownership of mid-to-large initiatives and driving them through to completion. You’ll set a high standard in your squad through the quality of your work and your ability to coach and support those around you.

You’ll be collaborating on a daily basis with designers, product managers, other engineers and the wider business to create a great product experience and continuously ship value to our users. You’ll be expected to set a strong example within your squad, championing best practices and helping to level up the engineers around you. You will also contribute to shaping our engineering strategy and practices.

In the role you will;

• Collaborate to deliver an exceptional product. From understanding initial needs to crafting outstanding solutions, you’ll work directly with product managers and designers to bring ideas to life. And by that, we don’t just mean implement requirements, we expect our engineers to understand our market and customers in order to be able to influence product strategy and challenge assumptions.
• Develop high quality systems and code. Working across our stack, you’ll design and develop the systems that underpin the Risk Ledger product and advance us towards our vision. You’ll lead system design efforts, consistently producing high-quality, well-documented and thoroughly tested code that sets the standard for your squad.
• Move fast, with an eye for quality. You enjoy moving fast while maintaining an extremely high quality bar through testing, automation, discipline, consistency and best practice, whilst treading a careful line in pragmatism and cost-benefit analysis.
• Enjoy being a generalist. We are building an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets. Our engineers are empowered to work in all areas of our platform, and across all areas of the business, directly contributing to the wider success of the company.
• Support the growth of those around you. You will mentor and coach junior and mid-level colleagues, helping them level up their hands-on technical skills, system design thinking and problem-solving approach.
• Have an impact. We’re a growing startup - so you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in areas outside of your day to day role.

You’ll have;

• Worked in multiple engineering teams focused on building a customer focused SaaS product; weighing up delivering value to clients against technical excellence.
• Deep experience with either backend or frontend development.
• Backend language preferably Go; Or something like Java, C# or Python
• Frontend: Typescript preferably with VueJS or React
• In either case, reasonable additional experience with:
• SQL and ‘NoSQL’ Data stores, with deep knowledge of data model design
• Containers and Orchestration: Docker / Kubernetes
• Cloud providers and cloud native services, preferably AWS
• Event driven systems, and messaging services such as SQS/SNS, Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Experience leading system design for non-trivial features or projects, evaluating trade-offs and ensuring alignment with team and business goals.
• A desire to deeply understand our customers and the problems they face, in order to improve their day-to-day experience.
• An ability to thrive in ambiguity, tackling problems that might not be well defined and without obvious solutions, and comfortable operating autonomously.
• A keen sense of curiosity, with a natural drive to learn and grow.
• A passion to work collaboratively with others. We like to work as a team, not a collection of individuals and we expect you to have the same mindset. Passion for pairing, mobbing and other XP principles are a strong plus.

You might have;

• Experience mentoring or coaching other engineers, helping them grow their technical skills and confidence.
• A startup/scale-up background. We’re not concerned if you have not worked in this environment, as long as you are willing to get stuck into the ambiguity of an early stage company.
• Experience of data processing, machine learning, AI or integrating large datasets into a product.
• Worked with observability solutions (Kibana, Grafana, Sentry).

• 3% employer match on pension
• 24 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Additional 30 days of unpaid leave per year to use as you wish
