Description

Description:

Aqua Security enables enterprises to secure their container-based and cloud-native applications from development to production, accelerating container adoption and bridging the gap between DevOps and IT security.

We are building a state-of-the-art security platform for large enterprises in the exciting and innovative new field of software containers. Our systems are deployed on thousands of customer servers around the world. A distributed system to watch over distributed systems!

We are looking for a talented Staff Engineer to join our Dev Security team, in charge of developing Aqua's management console - a multi-component system with many responsibilities, performing various background jobs and large-scale data processing; supplying REST APIs, a web based UI and more.

What you’ Il do?

In this role, you will take part in further development of our management console, writing features across the entire application stack: SQL queries, business logic, background processes, REST APIs and web-based user interfaces.
At Aqua, you will not be writing code for in-house applications. You will be writing code for large technology companies, banks, government agencies and multi-national chains.

Our product is composed of multiple components, mostly installed on-premise in our customer's cloud environments, but also has SaaS components, plugins for various CI/CD systems and many more. Almost everything runs inside containers. It is written in Go - an exciting new language from Google, and heavily depends on free software/open source components. Our web UI is currently written in VueJS. We are primarily a Linux company, but our software also supports Windows and Mac.

What you’ II bring?

Technical Leadership: Setting technical standards, driving innovation, and ensuring the quality and scalability of the software architecture.
Architectural Design: Designing and implementing solutions that meet business needs, considering factors like scalability, performance, and maintainability.
Strategic Guidance: Contributing to the long-term technical vision of the organization, identifying areas for improvement, and evaluating new technologies.
Mentorship and Guidance: Sharing their expertise with other engineers, providing guidance on best practices, and helping them grow in their careers.
Collaboration and Communication: Working effectively with stakeholders, project managers, and other engineers to ensure alignment and successful project delivery.
Problem Solving: Analyzing complex technical challenges, identifying root causes, and developing innovative solutions.
Influence and Impact: Driving organizational change through their technical expertise and leadership, rather than solely through management responsibilities.

Working from Aqua Hyderabad office a minimum of 4 days per week (Mon-Thu)

Requirements

Requirements:

Track record of delivering various features in large-scale applications or core systems with 12+ years of experience. .
Experience writing multi-component systems or micro-services, with architectures requiring efficient inter-application communication.
Experience writing in a high-level language such as Go, Java etc.. If you're already writing Go, or spent a weekend debugging the worse memory leak ever, that's a big plus.
Experience in writing code with vue.js and typescript.
Experience writing APIs (either RESTful or not) and RPCs. If you've broken backwards compatibility for your customers once, and dealt with the fallout, we want you (to deal with the fallout again).
Experience with RDBMS systems (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Couchbase). If you've written queries with more than two joins, or have a strong opinion of why an integer is better as a primary key (or maybe a UUID), we'd like to hear from you.
Experience with any one of the Cloud providers such as AWS is a must
Experience in provisioning infrastructure using IaC tools like Terraform/CloudFormation is a plus
Experience In cloud Development such as Serverless - Lambda functions – SNS, SQS, EC2, S3 bucket (Must)
Linux experience - Must
Experience with Docker is must. Kubernetes and OpenShift is a plus. If you can name one way in which a container is different than a regular process, you're golden.
Are you a free software/open source nerd? Do you maintain open source projects? Are you a Hacker News reader? Do you remember the days when you had to compile your own Linux kernel? Do you believe it should be called GNU/Linux? Have you ever been in a fight with an Emacs user? Are you an Emacs user? Well, we have the job for you!
