- Distributed & Cloud Systems: Proven track record of designing, deploying, and maintaining high-scale distributed systems and RESTful APIs in an AWS cloud-native environment
- Data & Storage Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience with relational or non-relational databases, caching mechanisms, and asynchronous message brokers (e.g., PostgreSQL, Neo4j, Redis, RabbitMQ)
- Testing & Quality First: Deep commitment to modern testing practices across the testing pyramid, treating test automation as an essential component of shipping software
- AI Literacy & Agentic Tooling: Demonstrated curiosity and practical experience leveraging modern AI coding tools, LLMs, or AI agents (e.g., custom developer tools, agentic workflows, or automated assistants) to enhance problem-solving, code quality, and engineering velocity
- Distributed Work & Team Engagement: Thrives in a remote, highly collaborative engineering culture with willingness to attend occasional department onsites and company events
Desirable
- LogicGate Tech Stack: Direct hands-on experience with LogicGate’s tech stack: Java, Kotlin, Python, Spring Boot, Neo4j, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, Terraform, and GitLab CI
- Architecture Knowledge: Familiarity with graph database modeling, event-driven architectures, or multi-tenant SaaS application design
- Full-Stack & SDLC Leadership: Brings a holistic perspective to the software development life cycle - combining deep backend expertise with a desire to work across the stack, optimize CI/CD pipelines, and apply infrastructure-as-code (IaC) best practices
What the job involves

- In this role, your technical leadership will directly ensure our platform remains scalable, resilient, and performant
- System & Data Architecture: Design and build high-throughput backend services, core platform APIs, and distributed data stores using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Neo4j, Redis, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ to expand multi-tenant Risk Cloud capabilities
- Quality & Continuous Delivery: Write robust unit, integration, and service-level tests while partnering with DevOps to evolve cloud infrastructure and automated CI/CD pipelines (AWS, Terraform, Docker, GitLab CI)
- Observability & Optimization: Monitor operational metrics, tracing, and alerts in Datadog to proactively diagnose system bottlenecks, optimize database query performance, and ensure platform health
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Facilitate technical design reviews, decompose complex epics alongside Product and Design teams, and mentor engineers across squads to elevate code quality and execution
- AI Workflow Efficiency: Leverage AI coding assistants, LLMs, and modern developer automation tools to streamline engineering workflows, refactor legacy patterns, and accelerate feature delivery velocity
Our take
LogicGate provides SaaS-based risk and compliance solutions to help companies track and automate changing, disorganized governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) processes. Its Risk Cloud and Risk Cloud Exchange platform prioritizes flexibility and ease of use, leveraging no-code capabilities to help companies efficiently optimize their risk-management process.
A Deloitte report suggests that a vast majority of companies are aware of the need to improve their GRC practices and of the benefits that tech integrations could bring in addressing this vulnerability. GRC software like LogicGate could stand to win big as companies invest in keeping up to code - certainly, LogicGate has won significant investment to date, and has won a leading position in the GMC software market.
Indeed, businesses now recognize the importance of a robust and flexible risk-management strategy, hence LogicGate is addressing an urgent and growing demand. With the GRC software market growing impressively, the company looks set to enjoy sustained and strong growth as it remains a recognised player in the space.
