• Implement APIs across multiple styles and standards (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, etc.), ensuring consistent patterns and a maintainable service ecosystem.
• Develop and maintain management/control-plane components that support complex domain and containment logic.
• Build reliable, well-modeled systems that support policy management, orchestration workflows, and stateful service interactions.

• Lead design reviews, architecture discussions, and cross-team engineering initiatives.
• Work closely with product managers, security teams, and platform engineers to deliver aligned and scalable solutions.
• Communicate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and long-term implications to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Help shape engineering culture by promoting high standards for code quality, documentation, and system maintainability.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant architectural ownership, modeling, domain-driven design, and building distributed systems.
• Strong engineering proficiency with .NET Core (deep understanding of internals, patterns, application architecture).
• Experience developing and maintaining  SOAR system components and control planes.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience designing and implementing APIs across multiple technologies (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, etc.).
• Experience with streaming/event technologies (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub, etc.).
• Experience building secure, resilient systems with strong attention to failure modes and operational readiness.
• Designing and integrating software systems running on multiple platform types into the overall architecture.

Nice to Have

• Background working with security products, endpoint or network security, or secure system design.
• Exposure to UI frameworks or front-end integration patterns.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, or other DevOps tooling.
• Experience designing systems for high-scale or regulated environments.
