Job Description
Join Secure Code Warrior to create a safer digital landscape by assisting companies to secure their software through developer-led practices!
Secure Code Warrior’s mission is to establish new standards for coding that transform the ways software is created. We do this by providing the world’s leading agile learning platform that delivers the most effective secure coding solution for developers to learn, apply, and retain software security principles. More than 600 enterprises trust Secure Code Warrior to implement agile learning security programs, build safer software, and create a culture of developer-driven security. We are a venture-backed company with offices in Australia, the United States, Belgium, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.
As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you are a seasoned and capable technical leader who sets the tone for a healthy team culture. You are responsible for delivering end-to-end solutions—from initial discovery through to final delivery—and are regarded as a “safe pair of hands” capable of delivering high-quality software with minimal guidance.
You will leverage a diverse technical stack including Go, Java, Node.js, TypeScript, and React; while not a strict requirement, exposure to Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is highly valued to help us maintain a scalable and maintainable environment.
Impact & Scope
Business Significance: Make core contributions to projects that significantly impact our users, employees, and business goals.
Technical Authority: Act as a recognized expert, contributing to the development of organizational best practices and engineering standards.
Strategic Input: Understand the broader business context to guide your work and provide constructive feedback to leadership and cross-functional peers.
Mentorship: Realize impact beyond individual code by teaching, mentoring junior engineers, and advancing our architectural state.
Technical Craft & Architecture
Backend & Systems
Backend Proficiency: Design and maintain robust, scalable services with deep expertise in at least one of our core backend languages: Go, Java, or Node.js.
Architectural Advocacy: Champion well-designed, maintainable solutions. You will produce design documents that justify architectural choices and propose improvements to existing codebases.
Cloud & DevOps: Opportunity to collaborate on the management and deployment of components within Kubernetes environments. Exposure to Terraform or other IaC tools is a plus, ensuring infrastructure is treated with the same rigor as application code.
Frontend & Experience
Modern Web: Build intuitive, high-performance user interfaces using React and TypeScript.
Full Stack Ownership: Take responsibility for the entire software development lifecycle, ensuring seamless integration between frontend experiences and backend logic.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Strategy
Lead by example to foster a culture of continuous learning and open communication.
Mentor junior engineers, guiding them to deliver high-quality work aligned with project goals.
Bridge communication gaps by translating technical complexities for non-technical stakeholders.
Autonomy & Execution
Work independently to complete tasks of moderate to high complexity (e.g., end-to-end feature delivery) without constant supervision.
Proactively research solutions to roadblocks before escalating; identify and clear blockers for yourself and the team.
Prioritize work effectively in consultation with product leaders and stakeholders.
Engineering Excellence
Conduct thorough code reviews and advocate for testing best practices.
Drive measurable improvements in team collaboration, development processes, or testing efficiency.
Contribute to the recruitment process by interviewing and assessing candidates to build a diverse, talented team.
Qualifications & Experience
Substantial Practical Experience: A strong grounding in software engineering fundamentals combined with a track record of delivering end-to-end solutions.
Technical Stack:
Languages: Expert-level knowledge of TypeScript, and proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, or Node.js.
Frontend: Deep experience with React and its ecosystem.
Infrastructure (Nice to have): Familiarity with Kubernetes or Terraform/IaC is highly regarded but not required.
Communication: Exceptional ability to explain technical designs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
