Company mission
To protect the world’s sensitive data, enabling innovation while ensuring security and privacy.
Role
Who you are
- Deep hands-on expertise (6+ years) in Java and the Spring Framework (Spring Boot, Spring Security, etc.) for building high-scale, production-ready microservices in a SaaS company
- Strong practical experience working with Kafka (MSK) or other message brokers for building event-driven architectures and handling high-volume data streams
- Solid understanding and hands-on experience working with cloud-native architecture, microservices, CI/CD (CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Argo), GitOps, APIs and API Gateway, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), Python, and AWS services
- Strong experience implementing and leveraging Observability solutions (metrics, logging, tracing) using tools like Open Telemetry, Grafana and Prometheus to diagnose and resolve production issues
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Bonus points if you have familiarity with the payment processing ecosystem (PCI DSS, tokenization, card networks, processors)
What the job involves
- We are seeking a skilled and motivated Sr. Software Engineer to join us. This role is responsible for developing and maintaining our Credential Management Platform (CMP). In addition, this role will be responsible for maintaining and enhancing our Event Pipeline. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, build, and optimize high-throughput, fault-tolerant services within the CMP platform
- You will likely be successful in this role if you identify with the following traits: attention to detail, problem solver, customer-oriented, versatile, resilient, and confident. If all of this sounds interesting to you, we’d love to hear from you
- Engage in all phases of the software lifecycle- design, implement, test, deploy, and support services in production
- Maintain a culture of code quality through rigorous testing, automation, and code reviews
- Be proactive and innovative- we rely on your feedback to build a world-class product
- Be a part of a team that believes in the core values of transparency, collaboration, grit, and humility; in going above and beyond what is required to do the right thing for our customers and the company; and in having fun while doing all this!
Our take
As scaling businesses grow, data security can take a back seat. Very Good Security takes the pressure off by assuming liability for sensitive data and ensuring compliance with one simple integration. It's an enticing proposition that enables its customers to get to market faster while offloading the risks of data custodianship.
VGS’ secured vaults and zero-data approach means clients don’t have to become security geniuses themselves and instead can focus on what’s unique to their business. Competing against TokenEx, HP’s Voltage, Thales’ Vormetric, and more VGS are trying to disrupt the do-it-yourself status quo of the data security industry. VGS also expedites certifications against PCI DSS, SOC2, and GDPR requirements, and reduces the total cost of compliance by up to 70 percent.
VGS has already attracted significant investment as well as an impressive set of customers (including Brex and Deliveroo). With more companies looking for tailored solutions as they transition to the cloud, VGS is developing several new capabilities to further automate compliance controls for customers on its platform.
