About the role
- As a Senior Fullstack Engineer on the Response team, you'll work on some of Envoy's most technically challenging and impactful products.
- You'll help build and scale our Threat Intelligence platform, which processes large volumes of real-time signals from thousands of sources and uses AI to identify and enrich relevant threats.
- This is a backend-focused fullstack role where you will spend much of your time designing scalable services, building distributed systems, and owning customer-facing experiences using React.
Responsibilities
- Build and scale real-time threat intelligence systems that ingest, process, classify, and enrich signals from numerous data sources to surface actionable threats to organizations.
- Solve challenging distributed systems problems, including high-throughput event processing, data deduplication, and reliable asynchronous workflows.
- Apply AI to real-world engineering problems, building intelligent workflows that help identify relevant threats, reduce noise, and deliver actionable insights.
- Build and evolve emergency notification systems that deliver critical communications reliably and at scale across channels such as SMS, email, mobile push, and Slack.
- Design, build, and operate scalable backend services, APIs, and data models using technologies such as Kotlin, Kafka, Postgres, AWS, and OpenSearch.
- Build intuitive, performant customer-facing experiences using React and TypeScript, taking ownership of features across the full stack.
- Drive technical design and architecture decisions, balancing scalability, reliability, performance, and engineering simplicity.
- Own features and systems end-to-end, from technical design and implementation to production operations, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and other Engineering teams to translate complex customer problems into simple, effective solutions.
- Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code reviews, technical mentorship, and improvements to engineering practices.
Requirements
- A BS or MS in Computer Science or a related technical field
- 7+ years of experience building and operating production software, with strong backend engineering expertise and experience working across the full stack.
- Strong programming fundamentals and experience building backend services using languages such as Kotlin, or Java.
- Experience designing scalable distributed systems, microservices, and APIs, with a solid understanding of system architecture and engineering tradeoffs.
- Experience with relational databases such as Postgres, including data modeling, query optimization, and performance considerations.
- Experience with asynchronous processing, event-driven architectures, or messaging systems such as Kafka.
- Working proficiency with React, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, and the ability to independently build and ship frontend features.
- A strong product mindset and the ability to balance technical excellence with delivering meaningful customer value.
- Experience driving technical projects independently, navigating ambiguity, and collaborating across Engineering, Product, and Design.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building AI-powered applications or integrating LLMs into production systems.
- Experience with high-throughput data pipelines, stream processing, or search technologies such as OpenSearch.
- Experience with geospatial data, real-time alerting, or mission-critical communication systems.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for professional growth.
