Senior Software Engineer, Product
Job Description
As a Senior Software Engineer on our Unified Detections team at Material Security, you’ll be part of an early, remote first, fast-growing team of experienced engineers. You will partner with a senior engineering team to 0→1 a major product initiative, specifically focused on distributed system work around data ingestion and processing. Once ramped, you will be empowered to build, experiment, and iterate on the product platform.
ResponsibilitiesBuild scalable distributed systems capable of efficiently handling high throughput.
Design, implement, and maintain scalable and robust software systems.
Work closely with product and design teams to ship the highest impact features for the customer.
Contribute to great engineering culture through active participation and mentorship.
Technical Ability: Solid software engineering fundamentals, raw coding ability, and problem-solving ability are key. Ideal candidates are prolific but careful coders in at least one mainstream language and have the ability to easily pick up new ones (i.e. Typescript). They can quickly identify the best ways to tackle challenging problems while explaining their decisions to teammates.
Technical Maturity: Our engineering team punches above its weight because everyone can write very high-quality code without too much oversight. The foresight to understand what risks we should/should-not take is crucial to reliably ship production code.
Ownership: We love engineers who deeply care about the impact of their work and find satisfaction in a job well done. Strong ownership starts before the first line of code (is this the right approach?) and continues after the last commit is merged (now that we've shipped, how is this behaving in prod?).
Learning: We deeply value a passion for acquiring knowledge, experimenting, and iterating to ship the best products.
Attitude & Ambition: The best candidates are smart, hard-working, competitive, and not afraid to fail. They are team first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance and supervision.
