Descripción de la vacante

Horizon3 is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical work for NodeZero's defensive agents and translate proven attack paths into continuous remediation. You will set direction with AI researchers and lead engineers who build the platform underneath.

This role focuses on technical strategy, architecture, and production code, without direct people management. You will collaborate with Product to sequence problems, review PRs, and own the first slice of implementation.

Formación

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related field.
• 7+ yrs professional software engineering experience using modern object-oriented or functional languages.
• Experience building applications on cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP, using container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Deep experience with agentic or LLM-backed systems in production with a clear-eyed view of where they fail and how to contain it.
• Expert proficiency in SQL.
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating distributed systems in production: asynchronous workflows, queues, retries, idempotency, and partial failure.
• A track record of shipping and operating production services, including on-call ownership.

Responsabilidades

• Owns the end-to-end technical vision for the workstream and rallies the team around it - from blank doc through shipping, iterating, and deprecating.
• Production code contributions at Lead/Staff level in a modern backend language (Python, Go, Rust, or similar) in a service-oriented environment.
• Sets and raises the technical bar (design reviews, code quality, operational discipline) by example rather than by mandate.
• Mentors and enhances the engineers around them; builds the frameworks and architecture for others to do the best work of their careers.
• Holds the team accountable to outcomes rather than activity; surfaces risks and tradeoffs early and in writing.
• Serves as the durable technical interface between AI research and platform engineering, so research direction accounts for platform constraints early rather than at handoff.
