  • Comfortable working directly with customers to understand needs and design solutions.
  • Familiar with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and security best practices. 

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.

  • Clear communicator who collaborates openly.
  • Proud of building strong, maintainable solutions that exceed expectations.
  • Curious, quick learner, and always exploring new technologies.
  • Positive, “let’s figure it out” teammate who lifts others up. 

At Metron Security, we’re all about helping security teams work smarter. If you’re excited to take on big engineering challenges, mentor others, and drive technical vision in a growing company, we’d love to talk.

• Reviewing code and setting engineering standards for the team


Infrastructure and cloud

• Maintaining and upgrading our infrastructure, including a planned move to a major cloud platform

• Owning deployments and production stability together with the team

• Working with event-driven and messaging systems (NATS today, Kafka planned)


Team leadership

• Leading and mentoring a team of 3 to 5 engineers

• Planning and prioritising work, unblocking the team, and making sure things ship

• Building a culture of ownership, clear documentation and quality


What we're looking for

• 5 to 8 years of software engineering experience, with hands-on coding in your recent roles

• Strong command of Python and Node.js

• Proven experience designing and building backend systems and microservices that run in production

• Hands-on experience deploying and running workloads on at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP)

• Solid working knowledge of PostgreSQL

• Experience with messaging or event streaming systems such as NATS, Kafka or RabbitMQ

• Experience leading or mentoring a small engineering team

• Comfort estimating effort, breaking down features and planning delivery

• Enough understanding of AI/ML systems to guide their solution design and integration

• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders


Good to have

• Experience working at a fintech, lending or financial services company

• Hands-on experience with Kafka

• Experience leading an infrastructure upgrade or cloud migration

• Experience building or scaling CRM or partner-facing portal products


Why Join Us?


  • Build a growing lending-tech platform: Play a key role in shaping the technology behind a growing financial services business.
  • Own technical decisions: Contribute directly to architecture, engineering standards, and technology direction.
  • Stay hands-on: Combine solution design and technical leadership with meaningful coding responsibilities.
  • Work with emerging technologies: Collaborate with AI/ML engineers and contribute to evolving platform capabilities.
  • Lead and grow a team: Mentor engineers and help build a strong engineering culture as the technology function scales.
  • Make a measurable impact: Build systems that improve operational efficiency and support business growth.

  • Work with product, design, and support teams to turn real customer problems into thoughtful, scalable solutions.
  • Design and build robust backend systems, services, and APIs that prioritize long-term maintainability and performance.
  • Use AI-assisted tooling (where appropriate) to explore solution trees, accelerate development, and reduce toil.
  • Improve velocity across the team by building reusable tools, abstractions, and internal workflows—not just shipping isolated features.
  • Dig into problems deeply—whether it's debugging a performance issue, streamlining a process, or questioning a product assumption.
  • Document your decisions clearly and communicate trade-offs with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You’ve built and maintained real-world software systems, ideally at meaningful scale or complexity.
  • You think in systems and second-order effects—not just in ticket-by-ticket outputs.
  • You prefer well-reasoned defaults over overengineering.
  • You take ownership—not just of code, but of the outcomes it enables.
  • You work cleanly, write clear code, and make life easier for those who come after you.
  • You’re curious about the why, not just the what—and you’re comfortable contributing to product discussions


Bonus if You Have Experience With

  • Building tools or workflows that accelerate other developers.
  • Working with AI coding tools and integrating them meaningfully into your workflow.
  • Building for SaaS products, especially those with large user bases or self-serve motions.
  • Working in small, fast-moving product teams with a high bar for ownership.


How’s the team?

  • Open and flat hierarchy
  • High-agency work with a get-stuff-done attitude
  • Teams that focus on creating wins - for the org, the team and yourself - all fuelled by mentorship and empowerment


Our Culture

Some values we’ve lived by over these last 14 years:


We think like inventors.

>Invent the answer you wish existed. If it already exists, ask how it could exist better.<

We build for the love of it. And we build the best.

We don’t just copy and paste. We start from first principles—frame the problem, question the default, ship, improve, repeat—until it’s world-class.

Every version and experiment is a chance to push past our comfort zone and hone our craft. It isn’t easy—it takes patience and persistence—but it ends in work we’re proud of.


Ownership builds a rocket ship.

>It’s not the hours you put in your work that count; it’s the work you put in the hours.<

We’re here to build the business. When we see a problem, we own it end‑to‑end. We pull in the right people, ask for help early, track just enough to finish, and close the loop. We focus on what moves the needle, cut low‑impact work, and push hard when it counts—then recover.

That focus builds subject mastery. It helps get in the flow. It fuels passion and can spark healthy friction—and that’s all part of the game. We make a fuss when it matters, and once a call is made, we commit to it fully—whether we all agree or disagree.


Step up to stand tall.

>Greatness is a moving target.<

Chase excellence in your craft and take on bigger problems. Grow into a full-stack problem-solver and leader—whatever your domain. Improve with intent, work with people who push you, and never get too comfortable. That’s how we level up.
