Software Development Engineer

What you'll do

Be the dedicated engineer for one of our clients. Learn their business, find what to automate, and build it.

Build automations, integrations, and web apps on whatever the client runs business platforms like the Zoho suite, cloud services like Azure, and custom apps where needed.

Work with APIs every day: connect systems, move data, make tools talk to each other.

Own work end to end: hear the problem from the stakeholder, build the solution, ship it, demo it, support it.

Resolve client tickets and bugs fast. Keep their systems and data healthy.

Write things down: clear docs, clear updates, clear commit history.

What we're looking for

2–5 years shipping software that works and being able to read it, debug it, and stand behind it.

Strong with REST APIs and integrations between systems.

Happy working inside business platforms (Zoho, Salesforce, or similar). Much of the leverage in this role lives there, not in custom code.

You can sit in a call with a non-technical client, understand the real problem, and come back with a working solution.

Self-driven. You'll often be the only engineer on a problem.

Why you'll love this role

Full ownership from first call to delivery you run projects, not just a ticket queue.

Direct access to clients and leadership. Your decisions ship the same week.

Constant variety: new systems, new problems, new builds.

Bonus Points If You

• Have experience building or leading integrations with enterprise security tools.
• Like approaching challenges with a “hacker mindset.” 
• Know your way around Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud deployments. 
• Contribute to open source or share technical insights publicly. 

What You’ll Do

• Be the face of Metron Security with our customers—collaborating on solutions and keeping communication clear.
• Bridge the gap between customers and our dev team, ensuring the right info flows both ways. 
• Mentor and train junior developers, helping them level up. 
• Step in to tackle tough technical problems when the team needs backup.
• Build and document knowledge about security platforms.
• Spot potential roadblocks early and help keep projects on track.

Who You Are

What you'll do

Stay hands-on. You'll still write code, build integrations, and work with APIs every day.

Build on whatever the client runs Zoho, Salesforce, Azure, similar platforms, and custom apps where needed.

Full ownership from first call to delivery — you run projects, not a ticket queue.

Direct access to clients and leadership. Your decisions ship the same week.

Constant variety: new systems, new problems, new builds.

A step into technical leadership without giving up the hands-on work.
