Are you a senior developer looking to transition into a high-impact technical leadership role? Expert Executive Recruiters (EER Global) is searching for an Expert-level Backend Engineer to help scale a global cybersecurity platform.
This role isn’t for someone who just wants to write code; it is for an engineer who thrives on solving massive distributed systems problems. You will work on AI-driven platforms that defend global enterprises against sophisticated DDoS attacks, ensuring that millions of events per hour are handled with zero downtime.
Role Overview
As a technical anchor, you will own the end-to-end development of critical cloud SaaS components. The client operates at an immense scale, protecting heavy hitters in the financial, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors.
You won’t just be following specs. You will be the person identifying bottlenecks in the stack, whether that involves refactoring an unoptimized database query or redesigning a message queue to improve throughput. If you love Go, distributed architecture, and maintaining high-availability systems, this position offers the autonomy you’ve been looking for.
Key Eligibility & Requirements
You need to bring serious battle-tested experience to the table. This is a Staff-level position, so the threshold for entry is high.
- Experience: Minimum 9+ years of professional software development.
- Core Tech Stack: Expert-level Golang proficiency is non-negotiable. You also need strong experience with Java, Spring Boot, and the AWS ecosystem.
- Infrastructure: Deep understanding of containers (Docker/Kubernetes) and message queues like Kafka.
- Databases: Hands-on experience with SQL and NoSQL stores, including Postgres, ElasticSearch, and Redis.
- Observability: You need a “proactive” mindset. If you aren’t comfortable using advanced monitoring and tracing tools to catch performance dips before they happen, this won’t be a fit.
- Bonus Points: Familiarity with Clickhouse (OLAP), previous exposure to the cybersecurity industry, and active use of AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code.
Why Join This Team?
The impact here is real. The systems you build will directly reduce malicious traffic and keep enterprise applications live during intense DDoS campaigns. You aren’t just pushing features; you are setting the engineering standards for the entire team through design reviews, mentorship, and high-quality coding practices.
