I would include the production metrics, rollout approach, and post-launch improvements used to validate the outcome. How do you make architectural trade-offs when product timelines are tight? I identify the non-negotiables such as security, data integrity, and operational safety, then compare options based on customer impact, delivery time, maintainability, and future flexibility. I document the decision and its assumptions, deliver the smallest reliable solution, and create a clear follow-up plan for intentional technical debt. How would you approach improving the reliability of a Go service running on Kubernetes? I would start with service-level indicators, incident history, logs, traces, and resource metrics to identify the highest-impact failure modes. I would then prioritize improvements such as timeouts, retries with backoff, health probes, capacity settings, database resilience, alerting, and tested rollback procedures. What is your approach to using AI coding tools while maintaining engineering quality? I use AI tools to accelerate exploration, implementation, tests, and documentation, but I retain responsibility for every change. I validate generated code through design review, security and correctness checks, automated tests, and careful consideration of edge cases, performance, and maintainability. How do you mentor engineers while still meeting delivery commitments? I combine timely code-review feedback with pairing, design discussions, and delegated ownership that matches an engineer's growth goals. I focus on explaining decision principles rather than only prescribing solutions, which improves team capability while reducing future delivery bottlenecks. ### 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 Senior Software Engineer to own a feature area within our Product Engineering team. You’ll be the engineer your product manager turns to for “is this possible, and how big is it”, leading technical design for your area and seeing it through to production. You’ll shape how your squad builds, mentor the engineers around you, and have real influence over what we ship for customers who depend on us to understand their cyber risk. 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 * Own a feature area end to end, from design conversations with product through to production and follow-up * Lead technical design for your area and drive the architectural decisions within it * Work with product and design to shape what we build: what’s possible, what it costs, and what should come first * Mentor the engineers around you and lift the quality of the squad’s code and decisions * Improve the reliability, scalability and performance of the systems you own * Go deep on the cybersecurity domain and bring that understanding into what we build What we’re looking for * Typically 5+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech-centric, product-driven companies * 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 * A track record of leading technical design for a feature area and seeing it through to production * Experience mentoring engineers and lifting the quality of the code and decisions around you What will give you an edge? * Cybersecurity experience * Running services on Kubernetes, ideally on GCP * Building complex applications or systems from the ground up with a cross-functional team * Owning a service in production: on-call, observability, and the judgment to know what to fix now and what can wait 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.
