The HSP team is driving the development of an innovative suite of cybersecurity products aimed at protecting our customers from threats that exploit the human element—the weakest link in security. Our co-located team thrives on close collaboration between product managers and engineers, ensuring we deliver solutions that make a tangible impact on our customers’ security posture. We’re committed to staying ahead of evolving cyber threats and empowering our customers to defend against sophisticated attacks.

We’re seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer (TL) to join our team and lead the development of critical backend systems for products like Email-like Messaging Systems and AI-driven Security Awareness Training platforms.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Ownership & Impact: You’re a proactive leader who takes full ownership of your work, driving projects to completion with a focus on delivering high-impact results.
  • System Design Expertise: You bring proven experience in designing and building scalable systems, with a track record of delivering high-performance applications.
  • Detail-Oriented: You’re meticulous about code quality, testing, and performance, ensuring that every aspect of your work meets the highest standards.
  • Growth Mindset: You’re committed to continuous learning and personal growth, leveraging opportunities to expand your skills alongside seasoned professionals in engineering, product, and design.
  • Effective Communicator: You excel in communication, working autonomously and asynchronously with other teams to drive projects forward.
  • Technical Proficiency: You’re comfortable with test-driven development and thrive in complex organizations where standardized interfaces and best practices are key to success.

What You’ll Do

  1. Design and Development: Lead the design and development of robust, scalable, and secure backend systems using Golang, Python. You will own the delivery of end-to-end projects, from conceptual design through to deployment, ensuring that each project meets the high standards expected within the Division.
  2. Ownership & Technical Leadership: Take full ownership of key deliverables within the Division’s Quarterly Roadmap. You’ll set the technical direction, define milestones, and drive projects to successful completion.
  3. Cross-Division Leadership: Align teams around key projects, de-risk complex initiatives, and ensure seamless execution across the Division. As a Senior Engineer, you’ll be a multiplier, enhancing the capabilities of those around you.
  4. Support and On-call: Provide expert technical support, troubleshoot complex issues, and participate in on-call rotations to maintain system reliability and performance.
  5. Collaboration and Communication: Engage in asynchronous communication with team members to share updates, resolve challenges, and propose solutions. You’ll also participate in code reviews and system design discussions, contributing to the team’s technical excellence.
  6. Continuous Learning and Improvement: Actively share your knowledge with the team and participate in professional development activities to keep your skills sharp and relevant.

Must Have Skills

  • 8+ years of industry experience as a Backend Software Engineer, with deep expertise in developing production-grade Golang/Python applications.
  • Strong understanding of Golang and its ecosystem, as well as Python, REST frameworks, and authentication mechanisms.
