About the company

The client is a US-based cybersecurity startup prevents, detects, and responds to software supply chain attacks by analyzing behavior across the full software development lifecycle for both developers and AI coding agents. They are building a vertical AI agent for supply chain security across three pillars: securing AI agents on developer machines, OSS package security, and CI/CD security, covering the entire agentic pipeline from dev environment to cloud.

About the Job

We are seeking backend engineers to build and maintain the CI/CD security platform's backend systems and components (GitHub Actions). This high-impact role involves setting best practices and owning engineering processes, with contributions used by thousands of developers globally. Our primary languages are Golang and Node.js.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience, strong engineering fundamentals (cyber security background not mandatory), AI-native mindset, comfortable with a hands-on zero-to-one environment. We use Golang as our primary language.
• Must-haves: Golang backend programming; AWS/Azure/GCP background; scalable/fault-tolerant system design.
• For all engineering positions, prior early-stage startup experience is a must-have requirement.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of software development principles, design patterns, and best practices.Expertise in building scalable and fault-tolerant systems.
• Strong collaborative and problem-solving skills.
• Self-motivated, creative thinker with a drive for continuous improvement.
• Experience in a startup or high-impact, outcome-driven environment.

Location

India remote. Candidates should be able to overlap a few hours with Pacific Time (PT) when working on urgent customer issues as required.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable software solutions.
• Architect and implement CI/CD components (GitHub Actions).
• Deliver features incrementally in quick iterations.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code following industry best practices.
• Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback.
• Troubleshoot and debug complex software issues promptly.

Why Join Us

• The company is at the forefront of supply chain security research and product development. They were the first to detect several major supply chain attacks in 2025 and 2026 such as the axios npm compromise, tj-actions, etc
• Their research and findings are regularly cited by major publications such as Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Hacker News, and Dark Reading. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the primary cybersecurity agency for the US federal government, has published several cybersecurity advisories citing our work
• In addition to having several enterprise customers, we have been adopted by more than 15,000 open-source projects, including projects from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Datadog, and others.
• Engineers joining now get to work on hard, high-impact problems at the intersection of security, AI, and open source, with meaningful equity upside at an early stage.

Roles & Responsibilities

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who treats engineering management as a systems problem, not a career milestone.

You’ll lead engineers while staying close to the technical core—owning architecture, modeling decisions, and execution quality in a domain where correctness matters as much as velocity.

Technical & Product Ownership

• Build and evolve core platform features
• Design and ship APIs, services, and integrations that power billing automation, usage metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting.
• Model complex financial workflows
• Work deeply on pricing logic, proration, true-ups, multi-currency handling, approval workflows, and event-driven billing pipelines—where small decisions have long-term consequences.
• Make architectural trade-offs
• Balance “ship it now” against “live with it forever” while scaling systems that process high-volume usage data and real-time financial calculations.
• Stay technically fluent
• You won’t write code every day, but you’ll review PRs, catch subtle bugs, and guide design discussions with confidence.

Team Leadership & Management

• Lead and grow the engineering team
• Mentor and manage engineers across experience levels, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on ownership, execution, and quality.
• Create high-output systems
• Establish clear problem definitions, focused execution cycles, code reviews that actually catch issues, and enough slack for engineers to think—not just ship.
• Debug team dynamics like software
• Observe signals, form hypotheses, intervene deliberately, and measure outcomes—whether the issue is delivery, alignment, or collaboration.
• Build the team intentionally
• Design interviews that surface real problem-solving ability, not just pattern matching. At this stage, every hire shifts the average.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Product, Finance, and Customer Success to translate real-world contract terms into correct, scalable systems
• Partner with stakeholders to solve ambiguous problems where requirements evolve and trade-offs are unavoidable
• Ensure systems remain accurate, auditable, and compliant as the product scales
