Senior Software Engineer - Integrations

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to deepen Dropzone’s integrations. You’ll design and deliver backend capabilities that expand what our product can do and make it easier for customers to connect Dropzone to their security environments.

What you'll do

• Integrate with security tools: Develop connectors for platforms such as SIEM, EDR, SOAR, cloud security, identity, and threat intelligence systems.
• Enable richer investigations: Build services that retrieve security telemetry, enrich alerts with context, and make relevant data available to Dropzone’s investigation workflows.
• Design for reliability: Handle rate limits, pagination, retries, timeouts, schema changes, and partial failures across third-party APIs.
• Build security into the platform: Apply strong authentication, authorization, credential management, tenant isolation, and audit logging.
• Own production outcomes: Write automated tests, instrument services, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues across APIs and integrations.
• Collaborate and raise the bar: Partner with product and security experts, contribute to architecture decisions, review code, and mentor fellow engineers.
• Deliver with sound judgment: Make practical tradeoffs, communicate risks early, and ship improvements that balance speed, maintainability, and customer impact.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant experience building backend services and production APIs.
• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Experience designing REST APIs, including resource modeling, versioning, authentication, authorization, and backward compatibility.
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs and troubleshooting behavior across distributed systems.
• A solid understanding of databases, asynchronous processing, queues, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience building automated tests and using logs, metrics, and traces to diagnose production issues.
• Familiarity with secure development practices and handling sensitive data and credentials.
• The ability to take an ambiguous problem from requirements through implementation, rollout, and ongoing support.
• Clear communication, thoughtful technical judgment, and a collaborative approach to engineering.
• Early-stage startup mindset. You thrive on ambiguity and move with lightspeed execution
• Being data-driven is part of your DNA.
