Company mission
To protect the unprotected from technology failures and cyber-attacks, helping manage risk online so they can focus on growth.
Role
Who you are
- Proven experience as a backend engineer designing and building distributed systems and cloud-based services in production
- Demonstrated technical leadership, including influencing architecture, setting technical standards, enabling other engineers, and collaborating effectively across teams
- Strong proficiency with AI workflows, Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/Node.js, or a similar modern backend language and framework. Experience with React.js is a plus
- Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and maintaining APIs, as well as integrating with third-party APIs or platforms
- Solid understanding of security concepts and practices, with experience in a cybersecurity domain is a plus, but not strictly required
- Strong communication skills and a practical, outcome-oriented approach to problem solving
What the job involves
- This role is a Staff-level individual contributor position within the Security Engineering team, focused on Coalition Control, a security platform that helps protect our policyholders from cyber crime
- You’ll own critical backend services end-to-end, have broad autonomy to shape technical direction and will serve as a technical multiplier for the broader engineering team. You’ll have access to leading AI tools so you can just cook
- Ship product fast: Work with Product, Design and Engineering to turn high-level product goals into iterative plans, shape scope, and contribute to development in a full-stack capacity with depth and expertise in backend
- Strengthen the platform: Own the technical vision, architecture, and expansion of the backend systems powering Coalition Control, while contributing to other Coalition Security Products
- Hold a high bar for engineering craft: Raise our standards for code, code reviews, testing, and reliability, leveraging AI-assisted workflows to build faster and reduce toil
- Unblock and elevate the team: Guide other engineers through architectural trade-offs, provide thoughtful yet speedy code reviews, and sharing knowledge with others
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 in 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 cybersecurity 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 more than $800 million in funding. There are several 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.
