Senior Software Engineer

Quick Facts

Role focus: Backend and runtime sensor development for cloud security telemetry across Kubernetes, serverless, and virtual machines.

Key work: Scalable, low-overhead real-time telemetry collection and threat/anomaly detection with strong performance and reliability requirements.

Description

Build Orca Sensor, a lightweight runtime component that brings deep visibility and protection to cloud workloads. Work on a scalable system that collects and processes real-time telemetry to detect threats and anomalies across modern cloud environments.

Responsibilities

• Contribute primarily to the Go/Python codebase for the microservices backend and runtime sensor (Go on Linux/Windows, container/k8s integrations)
• Own the product end-to-end, including DevOps: Helm charts, CI/CD (GitHub Actions), monitoring/alerting (Grafana/Prometheus)
• Contribute to architecture and design decisions, with first-class concerns for performance, low overhead, reliability, and security of a sensor running on customer infrastructure
• Participate in on-call rotation and production incident response for the team domain
• Develop expertise in AWS, Azure, and GCP products and technologies

Requirements

• 5+ years of production software engineering experience in low-level/back-end languages (with willingness to ramp on Go fast)
• At least one of: low-level/systems experience (system programming for Linux/Windows with a focus on performance) or deep backend experience with microservices at scale
• Strong grasp of software fundamentals: concurrency, synchronization, memory management, data structures, and OS internals
• Production experience with at least one major cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and Kubernetes
• DevOps experience: Helm, GitHub Actions, container runtimes, observability tooling
• Hands-on experience with eBPF, syscall tracing, or runtime telemetry frameworks (strong plus)
• Knowledge of cybersecurity domain (advantage)
