As a Lead Software Engineer, you will tackle a highly challenging role within our Cyber Security Engineering integration development team. You will be responsible for the End-to-End (E2E) delivery of projects from gathering customer requirements to deploying high-performance data exchange solutions on-prem or in the cloud. We are looking for a Systems-Level Thinker who can seamlessly transition between building complex integrations and architecting high-throughput, low-latency backends. Because each integration may require a different technical approach, we value engineers who love reskilling, following agile best practices, and maintaining an evolving mindset.

Core Responsibilities :

Technical Leadership and Architecture :

- Systems Engineering : Design, build, and optimize high-throughput, low-latency backend systems and data-exchange layers.

- Architecture and Integration : Participate in planning, defining, and exploring solution alternatives. Architect and estimate deep technical custom solutions and integrations across diverse enterprise tech stacks.

- Stream Processing : Implement event-driven architectures, manage backpressure, and handle real-time state management across security platforms.

- Delivery Ownership : Own projects end-to-end, defining and implementing enablers to evolve solution intent directly alongside our Agile teams.

Team Leadership and Quality :

- Mentorship : Actively lead, coach, and mentor junior developers, providing technical guidance to foster professional development.

- Engineering Excellence : Oversee code reviews, build robust CI/CD pipelines, enforce strict quality checks, and ensure rigorous adherence to coding standards.

- Agile Execution : Actively participate in Agile development, including writing, breaking down, and estimating User Stories.

Customer and Stakeholder Collaboration :

- Customer Delight : Maintain a strong customer-first attitude while designing, building, and deploying products.

- Technical Communication : Articulate complex technical trade-offs clearly to both business stakeholders and engineering teams.

- Pipeline Management : Manage customer relationships effectively to ensure a continuous flow of project scope, maintaining clear team backlogs.

Job Requirements :

- Experience : 4+ years of proven software engineering experience, with a track record of leading small engineering teams or mentoring junior devs.

- High-Throughput Backend Focus : 4+ years of experience engineering robust, real-time backends specifically using Go (Golang) or Java.

- Polyglot and Integration Capability : Deep expertise in at least one or two additional languages/frameworks from our ecosystem : Python, TypeScript, Node.js, React.js, Angular, C#, or C++.

- Computer Science Fundamentals : Excellent knowledge of complex Data Structures, algorithms, and their correct situational usage.

- Adaptability : A passionate programmer who is genuinely open and excited to learn new software development skills as required by changing project demands.

Bonus / Added Advantages :

- AI & Intelligent Automation : Hands-on knowledge of AI concepts, Large Language Models (LLMs), and experience building or integrating AI agents to automate complex workflows or security processes.

- Cybersecurity Domain : Experience in the cybersecurity space (SIEM, SOAR, or platform security).

- Modern Web Tech : Strong experience in developing software using modern web technologies.

- E2E Lifecycle : Proven background handling a project completely from discovery to cloud/on-prem deployment.

- Open Source : Active contributions to the Open Source community. (Please share your GitHub/GitLab links in your application!)
