Software Engineer

Description

• Build and maintain internal services for enforcement, throttling, and policy rules

• Design automation pipelines that move from detection → decision → action

• Connect with core infrastructure: databases, queues, caching layers, and observability stacks

• Implement safeguards: fail-safes, fallback paths, and guardrails to prevent over-blocking

• Collaborate with teams to turn raw signals into actionable workflows

• Ensure all enforcement actions are traceable with logs, metrics, and audit trails

Requirements

• Bring 5+ years of software engineering experience

• Are fluent in writing and speaking English

• Have deep experience with Node.js, TypeScript, Javascript, React (Express, Hono, Next.js)

• Proven experience with databases and performance tuning (Postgres, Clickhouse)

• Infrastructure and reliability skills (Datadog, AWS, CDK)

• Understand how to design systems with safety and fail-safe operations in mind

• Are comfortable with APIs, event-driven architectures, and stateful services

• Care deeply about observability: metrics, logs, tracing, error handling

• Take ownership across the stack — from frontend surfaces down to databases and queues

• Have worked in trust, safety, fraud, or security domains

• Have exposure to real-time enforcement systems, such as rate-limiting

Benefits

• Professional development opportunities
