Role

Who you are

5+ years of professional experience building distributed web applications and APIs
Strong expertise building backend microservices in Golang
Experience with REST/gRPC and service-oriented architectures
Familiarity with Docker and interest in improving our CI/CD deployment process
Desire to improve test coverage and increase code maintainability
The ability to thoughtfully participate in technical discussions and drive towards data-driven decisions amidst ambiguity and competing priorities
Strong communication and documentation skills. Explaining complex technical concepts to other engineers, designers, salespeople, and content marketers is no problem for you

Desirable

Familiarity with a service-oriented architecture using gRPC or REST to coordinate and communicate between services and systems
You have experience with microservice-based designs with GCP PubSub, etc, and know their tradeoffs
Familiarity with common web programming languages such as TypeScript and JavaScript, and proficiency with React is a plus
Experience building, deploying, and maintaining containerized services in a Kubernetes based environment
You understand the value of building maintainable software. Some of your first tasks when building a new service are ensuring test coverage enforced by CI, adding linters, and adding code complexity checks. You enjoy a good abstraction, and promote established design patterns, but also know when to think outside the box

What the job involves

Censys is seeking a high-caliber Senior Backend Software Engineer to help build and evolve our next-generation Censys Platform
In this role, you’ll develop scalable microservices and design robust APIs that power our SaaS product
You’ll work closely with product and engineering teams to translate complex requirements into well-architected, maintainable software that powers critical security insights
Your contributions will help users explore and understand the global Internet, enabling them to uncover threats and better protect their organizations
Design, build, and enhance backend services that power core functionality across the Censys Platform
Partner with Product, Design, and Frontend Engineers to deliver features that solve real customer problems
Integrate with internal and external APIs to support rich, data-driven experiences
Own the full development lifecycle by automating build, test, deployment, and monitoring workflows
Contribute to an iterative development process that emphasizes continuous improvement and rapid feedback

Our take

Censys is the leading provider of continuous attack surface management, as its platform provides the world’s most comprehensive real-time view of global networks and devices. Its market-leading internet datasets and comprehensive certificate database, as well as its integrations with common cloud providers, uncover the hidden links between assets, unknown assets and associated risks, and provides a comprehensive internet inventory.

Some of its customers include Google, NATO, FireEye, Swiss Armed Forces, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and over 10% of the Fortune 500. While the company has been growing rapidly (seeing triple-digit year on year revenue growth) Censys remains focused on accelerating R&D, engineering, and product/sales operations, particularly in Western Europe.

$75 million in funding awarded in 2023 is being used to fund its expansion and consolidate its status as a leading player in global internet infrastructure. Between 2022 and 23, the company enjoyed a 130% annual growth, an upward trajectory that is only set to continue.
