Lead Software Engineer

I’m partnering with a well-funded, early-stage cybersecurity intelligence company building a next-generation third‑party and supply chain risk platform.

They’ve closed seed funding, are preparing for Series A, and are now making a foundational engineering hire - someone who wants real ownership, architectural influence, and the chance to help shape a company from the ground up.

This is not a “ticket factory” role. This is build‑the‑foundations properly.

The Opportunity -

You’ll join as a Senior Lead Software Engineer
, working closely with the Director of Engineering to:

• Design and build scalable backend services (Type Script/Node.js + Python)
• Architect systems that ingest and process large-scale intelligence data
• Own and evolve AWS infrastructure (ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, event‑driven systems)
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform)
• Establish engineering standards, patterns and best practices
• Influence architectural direction as the platform matures
• Help hire and mentor future engineers

Strong backend focus, but you’re comfortable contributing across the stack when needed.

• 4+ years backend experience (strong Type Script/Node.js + Python)
• Hands‑on AWS infrastructure experience in production environments
• Experience building scalable systems in startup or scale‑up environments
• Someone who cares about doing things properly from day one

• Data pipelines or high‑volume ingestion systems

• Early, high‑impact hire
• Direct influence over architecture and engineering culture
• Meaningful equity upside
• Product solving real‑world cyber, supply‑chain and financial risk challenges
• Opportunity to build the backbone of a platform entering rapid growth

If you’re currently in a larger org and miss real ownership - or you’re in a startup and want something more technically ambitious - this is worth a conversation.
