Staff Engineer

We are looking for a talented Staff Engineer to join our Dev Security team, in charge of developing Aqua's management console - a multi-component system with many responsibilities, performing various background jobs and large-scale data processing; supplying REST APIs, a web based UI and more.

What you' Il do?

• In this role, you will take part in further development of our management console, writing features across the entire application stack: SQL queries, business logic, background processes, REST APIs and web-based user interfaces.

Our product is composed of multiple components, mostly installed on-premise in our customer's cloud environments, but also has SaaS components, plugins for various CI/CD systems and many more. Almost everything runs inside containers. It is written in Go - an exciting new language from Google, and heavily depends on free software/open source components. Our web UI is currently written in VueJS. We are primarily a Linux company, but our software also supports Windows and Mac.

• Collaboration and Communication: Working effectively with stakeholders, project managers, and other engineers to ensure alignment and successful project delivery.
• Problem Solving: Analyzing complex technical challenges, identifying root causes, and developing innovative solutions.
• Influence and Impact: Driving organizational change through their technical expertise and leadership, rather than solely through management responsibilities.

Requirements:

• Track record of delivering various features in large-scale applications or core systems with
  12+ years of experience.
  .
• Experience writing multi-component systems or micro-services, with architectures requiring efficient inter-application communication.
• Experience writing in a
  high-level language such as Go, Java etc
  .. If you're already writing Go, or spent a weekend debugging the worse memory leak ever, that's a big plus.
• Experience in writing code with and typescript.
• Experience
  writing APIs
  (either RESTful or not) and RPCs. If you've broken backwards compatibility for your customers once, and dealt with the fallout, we want you (to deal with the fallout again).
• Experience with RDBMS systems (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Couchbase). If you've written queries with more than two joins, or have a strong opinion of why an integer is better as a primary key (or maybe a UUID), we'd like to hear from you.
• Experience with any one of the Cloud providers such as
  AWS
