- Experience working with fault tolerant services and the iterative development of highly-available systems
- Exposure to full-stack monitoring from system level metrics to SLOs, failure-based testing approaches, and monitoring strategies

What the job involves

- You will also participate in a low-volume on-call rotation to ensure our systems remain highly reliable and available
- In this role, you'll focus on isolating, trapping, and responding to the inevitability of system failure, developing strategies for continuous monitoring and analysis to minimize downtime and reduce the need for manual intervention
- Our core platform is primarily built in Python, with some services written in Java and Go
- We take a pragmatic approach to technology, using the right tools for the job and designing systems to scale and evolve as we grow
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.
