Role
Who you are
- You’ll have the perfect blend of technical skills, a passion for problem-solving and mentorship of others, and the ability to drive scalable systems within an agile startup environment
- We don’t expect you to have a background in everything we use, but experience working with Java or another object-oriented programming language and ability to learn new languages is essential
- You’re a technical expert, with strong object-oriented programming fundamentals and experience working for 5+ years as a backend or product engineer. (We’ll consider applications from less-experienced candidates for a less senior role if you’re a passionate developer)
- You’ll have worked with Java Springboot, Hibernate and SQL. You have experience designing and building scalable backend architecture, relational database solutions and connecting with third party integrations. Experience with Golang, TypeScript is a plus
- You have an owner mindset, iterating and taking pride in owning customer-facing features from ideas to going live
- You’ll always go the extra mile for customers and your teammates, coordinating across functions to cut through the noise and deliver the right solution to the right problem, without getting lost in the details
- You always start by understanding the user problem and designing the solution first, and not by jumping into code immediately. You have high standards for software design patterns
- You thrive in the startup world, having gained experience in this fast-paced, agile environment, ideally as one of the first engineers in a startup. You’ll recognize the need for flexibility and hands-on ownership
- You don’t wait for a product manager to create a ticket, you create it yourself, fix it, extensively test it, deploy it, and then mentor others to do it better
- You’re a champion of remote, keen to build relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders in a fully remote setup
- You’re passionate about sharing knowledge and championing new technologies, ideally having a lot of ownership in the past. You learn fast and are able to switch and be efficient in a new tech stack quick
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help us build and scale our product
- As a small team we are constantly picking up new challenges. We’re looking for people who can pick a problem and solve it, without waiting for a ticket to arrive
- This is a really exciting opportunity to contribute to the foundations of an early-stage startup
- Every feature that is being ideated will go through you, and you'll get first-hand exposure to what it means to build and scale a remote software startup
- You'll become the go-to person for all things back end, taking full ownership and collaborating with the CTO and Tech Lead to set technical direction. Working closely with product and design teams, you'll shape and design the scalable architecture of the features for both new and existing products
- Design, develop, and maintain new product features and popular 3rd party integrations (AWS, Github, Linear, etc) using Java Spring Boot, Go, and SQL
- Troubleshoot, debug, and support our clients looking into the code of our API in Java Spring Boot. Improve by refactoring small bits of old solutions as you go
- Mentor and develop junior engineers to help them become expert Secfixers
- Champion new technologies to improve our product and structure complex product in simple deliverables
- Redefine best-in-class software development processes
- Work closely with founders, tech lead, other team members, and users to ship features on schedule
- Constantly read, create and improve product and technical documentation
- Follow and improve the communication and company culture guidelines and policies
- You’ll live by and champion, our values:
- We are obsessed with our customers
- We build smart
- We create trust
- We are hacky
- We take ownership
- We are leaders of remote
Application process
- 20-30 min intro call with Talent team

Our take
As regulations around data protection grow in numbers and force, compliance has never been more essential for business, both for legal reasons and to build customer confidence. However, few small and medium businesses have the in-house resources needed to set up their IT security at the same level as larger companies. SecFix exists to change this, connecting with a company's tech stack to automate all processes around attaining ISO 27001 and GDPR certification.
SecFix solves two problems at once: reducing the time and cost of auditing processes and systems for certification by up to 30%, while at the same time building a company's resistance to cybercriminals and exposure to punitive fines and lost customer loyalty. It has developed a large customer base of fast-growing companies including Kertos, Satcom, and Zinc.
The company has recently raised a significant amount of investment in an oversubscribed seed funding round. It is using this capital to further develop its platform and hire additional talent. SecFix is also planning to expand into additional European markets and is well-poised to become a significant company in the security compliance space.
