Team8 Stealth Cyber Startup- Software Engineer

Description We're looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join our engineering team. We work in Python and TypeScript across the whole product — data pipelines and backend services, APIs and integrations, and the interfaces our users work in every day. We don't split the team into front-end and back-end: you'll take a problem and follow it wherever it leads, and we'll shape the balance around what you're strongest at and what you want to grow into. This is a role for someone who wants real ownership over what they build — from the first design conversation through to production and the metrics that tell you it's working. What you will do • Design and build features end to end in Python and TypeScript — from data model through service layer to the user-facing experience • Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations with customer environments and external security tools • Work with data at scale: ingesting, normalizing, and structuring information from diverse and messy third-party sources • Turn complex data into interfaces that make a security analyst's job obvious rather than harder • Take part in architectural decisions and shape how the product and the codebase evolve • Own your work end to end — design, implementation, testing, rollout, and monitoring • Work directly with product and design in short cycles, with real users close by Requirements What we're looking for • B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and shipping production systems • Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript (or strong depth in one and real fluency in the other) • Solid engineering fundamentals — data modeling, API design, testing, and a feel for what makes systems maintainable • Experience with cloud environments • Strong problem-solving skills, a real sense of ownership, and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced startup • A team player with a big-picture perspective who still sweats the critical details • Excellent communication and collaboration skills Nice to have • Experience with cybersecurity products, vulnerability management, or network security • Experience building data pipelines or working with large-scale data processing • Experience with building AI systems or ML/data science systems • Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks (React or similar) • Experience with high-scale, high-concurrency systems • Experience at an early-stage startup
