The position targets candidates with roughly two or more years of experience and emphasizes practical use of AI coding tools, sound engineering judgment, and curiosity about cybersecurity. It is remote for people working anywhere in Australia. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 4/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 4/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 4/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a broad product-engineering role requiring productive delivery across frontend, backend, databases, cloud infrastructure, and reliability concerns.

I would also describe trade-offs made, monitoring added, and the measurable outcome for users or the business. How would you approach learning and contributing to a Go service when your strongest background is in another backend language? I would start by tracing a small production workflow through the repository, local environment, tests, and observability tools. I would pair with experienced teammates, take on a scoped change, follow existing idioms, and use code review to quickly build confidence in Go conventions and service design. What practices would you use to keep a high-volume security-data platform reliable? I would prioritize clear service-level objectives, structured logging, metrics, tracing, capacity testing, safe database access patterns, and resilient failure handling. For changes, I would use automated tests, incremental rollout methods, dashboards, and a rollback plan. How do you use AI coding tools while ensuring that the resulting code is safe and maintainable? I use AI tools to accelerate exploration, implementation, and test generation, but I remain accountable for the result. I verify logic against requirements, review security and edge cases, run tests and linters, inspect generated dependencies, and make sure the final code fits the team’s architecture and style. How do you balance technical quality with the urgency of a product requirement? I clarify the user impact, deadline, operational risk, and reversibility of the decision. I then propose the smallest safe solution that meets the immediate need, document intentional shortcuts, and create a prioritized follow-up plan for any technical debt. ### Who are we? At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk. We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface. We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale. About the role We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our Product Engineering team. You’ll work across the whole stack: customer-facing features in React and TypeScript, Go services that process security data at internet scale, and the plumbing that keeps it all secure and reliable. You’ll ship real work in your first weeks with a senior engineer as your buddy, and your scope will grow as you’re ready for it. You don’t need to know cybersecurity yet, but you do need to be curious about it. You’ll join one of our 11 (and growing) Product Engineering squads, most of which have a product manager, designer and technical lead alongside the engineers. Our stack is React and TypeScript on the front end, Go services with Postgres as our primary database, running on Kubernetes via Google Cloud Platform. Our engineers work with agentic coding tools, mostly Claude Code and Cursor, and a growing part of the product is LLM-backed. You’ll work this way from day one, and we’ll want your ideas on what to automate next, from how we write code to how we test, review, ship and run it. What you’ll do * Build and ship customer-facing features across our React front end and Go services * Own well-scoped work end to end, with senior engineers to pair with and review your designs * Help keep the platform fast and reliable as we scale * Give and receive thoughtful code review and join the technical discussions that shape how we build * Go deep on the cybersecurity domain; it’s one of the best parts of the job * Grow toward senior, with increasing scope as you’re ready and a manager focused on getting you there What we’re looking for * Typically 2+ years of relevant engineering experience * Strong TypeScript and React * A backend language you’re productive in (we use Go) * Solid relational database skills (we use Postgres) * AI coding tools as your default workflow, and the judgment to review and own what they produce * Pragmatic trade-offs: you weigh technical quality against what the business needs now * Low ego, high care: you’re in it for the product and the customer, not just the code What will give you an edge? * Cybersecurity experience * Running services on Kubernetes, ideally on GCP What’s in it for you? We’re fully remote, and we’d rather spend on things people actually use than on perks that look good in a job ad. * Fully remote and flexible: work from anywhere in Australia. We have offices in Sydney and Hobart, a co-working allowance everywhere else, and no attendance mandate. * Real face time: two off-sites a year, one with your squad and one with the wider Product team or the whole company, plus city-based socials in between, with colleagues who like spending time together. * Stock options: every engineer gets equity, so you share in UpGuard’s growth. * Annual leave: PTO plus two additional UpGuardian leave days to give you time to recharge your batteries. * 18 weeks paid Parental Leave: irrespective of parenting role (all regions) * Personal Leave allowance: this includes sick and carer’s leave. * $[amount] monthly lifestyle subsidy for your financial, physical and mental wellbeing. * US$1,500 annual learning and development allowance, spent on whatever helps your career, not just courses. * WFH set-up allowance to get your home office right in your first three months.
