  • Stay informed about advancements in cloud computing, distributed systems, and secure software practices, applying these insights to your work




What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, and system design
  • 6 years of full-time industry experience in a role with cloud infrastructure or cloud service development as a primary focus
  • Proficiency in programming with a modern language like Go and Python (prior experience with Go is not required but is a plus)
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud computing concepts, and RESTful API design
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills to work effectively with senior engineers, product teams, and other stakeholders




Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Knowledge of industry-standard PKI and hardware security practices




Why Join Us?

  • Your work will directly contribute to the development of cutting-edge security solutions, protecting critical systems in industrial and IoT environments
  • As a seed-stage startup, this role offers significant opportunities for learning and career growth
  • Join a close-knit, innovative team where you can learn, grow, and contribute to building something meaningful in the security space
