Company mission
To protect the unprotected from technology failures and cyber-attacks, helping manage risk online so they can focus on growth.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science or a related field with at least three years of work experience, or equivalent work experience
- Experience writing code in a modern programming language, preferably in Golang
- Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively convey engineering-related topics to team members
- A collaborative and team-oriented mindset, capable of working effectively in a diverse and fast-paced environment
- Effective problem-solving skills to analyze and debug code
- Curiosity to learn and openness to feedback
- Autonomous and disciplined approach to work
Desirable
- DynamoDB
- Python
- Terragrunt / Terraform
- Docker
- Empathy for and understanding of SMB users
- Understanding of Security, Compliance, and IT Software (S1, Crowdstrike, Defender, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365)
What the job involves
- You’ll be part of the security applications organization focusing on building connections to third-party services for our Coalition Control users and building tools used by our Incident Response team
- You’ll operate with short feedback loops, fast delivery times, and prioritize pragmatic technical solutions over theoretical academic ones
- You’ll be predominantly writing go code
- You may be exposed to python code from the rest of the organization at times
- For our persistent stores, we use postgres and for rare and specific cases dynamoDB
- Our team is globally distributed and as a result works highly asynchronously
- We do not have synchronous rituals or recurring meetings
- Thus, we expect from you a disciplined, mature management of your workload, skilled written communication, and empathy for your team members and their perspectives
- We have diverse opinions and expect you to voice yours
- We disagree with each other regularly but prefer team success over “being right.” We expect the same from you
- Contribute to code: tested, maintainable, extensible, but pragmatic
- Maintain and improve existing services
- Research third-party service providers (how they work, how we can integrate with them.)
- Interface with the Platform team to alter/amend existing infrastructure
- Interface with Product Team to clarify requirements, provide feedback on required effort
- On-Call rotation participation (this means a regular expectation to respond to incidents outside of regular working hours – it happens rarely and we’d like to keep it that way.)
Our take
The cybersecurity industry has been going through a record-breaking period of investment. This trend has emerged as more companies move to cloud-based networks following the increase of out-of-office work, thus increasing the risk of cyber attacks. However, many cutting-edge cyber defences are too expensive for many companies.
Coalition’s joint offering of cyber security tools, a risk management platform, and cyber insurance allows companies to manage the ever-present risk of cyber threats.
The company has made a strong start since its 2017 launch, raising nearly $800 million in funding. There are a number of other fast-growth startups in the cybersecurity space, including Wiz and Orca Security, but Coalition’s shrewd insurance-based model is what sets it apart from the competition. The company has set out on a path toward global expansion, branching out from the US and Canadian markets to bring its solutions to the UK, whilst also acquiring smaller competitors like JUMBO.

Company values
- Character - We are never too big to do the small things that need to be done. We balance pride with humility: absolute pride in performance; total humility before the magnitude of the task
- Humility - We aren’t afraid to ask questions, including simple ones like: can we do this better?
- Responsibility - We are building an environment of personal and professional development, in which an individual takes responsibility and shares ownership
- Purpose - The more you have to play for, the better you play. We are all here to build something we believe in and to make a company that will last
- Authenticity - We refuse to be distracted by the clamor of competitors or the tired industry in which we operate. We have the courage to follow our heart and intuition
- Diversity - The strength of the wolf is the pack. We’ve built an environment where all team members can thrive irrespective of their ideas, creed, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other arbitrary subdivision
