Summary

This early-stage cybersecurity software company is hiring a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, backend focused, on a contract-to-hire basis. The role is fully remote. You will build backend services and APIs from scratch, mainly in Go, on top of PostgreSQL and AWS.

The best part of this role is ownership. You will report directly to the CTO and help shape the architecture and engineering culture while the team is still small. They want a senior engineer who has taken products from zero to one and can work fast with AI-assisted tools while carefully reviewing everything that ships. The product is already underway and focused on building new capabilities, not maintaining legacy code, in a new category of security tooling. Strong performers have a clear path to a full-time role.

Contract Duration: 6 - 12 Months

Required Skills & Experience
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong backend development in Go as your primary language
  • Experience building and shipping in a full stack environment
  • Solid database experience with PostgreSQL and SQL Server
  • Working knowledge of AWS and cloud-native development
  • Track record of building new products or services from zero to one, ideally in a startup
  • Sound engineering judgment, including reviewing AI-generated code with confidence
  • Security-minded approach to design and code

Desired Skills & Experience
  • Python experience
  • Graph database exposure
  • Hands-on DevOps or infrastructure work (CI/CD, containers, infrastructure as code)
  • Background in cybersecurity, cryptography, or vulnerability management
  • Experience with TLS, encryption protocols, or network scanning
