Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer with an interest in security to join our Core and Platform teams and help establish a dedicated security team. You get to apply both domain principles and cement security of Beacon Platform as just another baseline feature.

You understand how code, systems and services work, having written and maintained all of them. You also have an interest in how to secure them, and what it takes to keep them usable. Since Beacon Platform is an integrated development and runtime environment, you will get to build the machinery to make it seamlessly secure.

What You’ll Do

• Build software, tooling and practices to continuously improve security everywhere at Beacon
• Infuse the expectation of secure-by-default into everything you come in contact with
• Harden our stack and make the process visible for all of our users
• Apply solid engineering and automation principles to ensure security is an integral part of Beacon’s development workflow
• Share your knowledge, help and mentor others, and allow them to rely on themselves

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in systems and software engineering
• Interest in systems, cloud and software security
• Experience working in a SaaS environment
• Intimately familiar with Linux and orchestration runtimes
• At home with Agile development, DevOps mentality and Continuous Delivery
• Happy with Python and Go, but always ready to pick up the right tool for the job
• Ability to work in a creative, fast-paced environment
• A degree in CS is preferable, but not strictly necessary
• Constant drive for usability

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Solid Software Engineering skills
• Experience in securing software and its development
• You don’t impose on others - you enable them
• Pragmatism and humility
• You know when to roll up your sleeves (and when not)
• Personal experience on what engineering-first approach feels like

What You’ll Love About Beacon

• Unlimited PTO - This isn’t your typical unlimited PTO plan. All employees take at least 20 days off a year. After that? Take the time off you need to strike the perfect work/life balance for you.

• 10 paid company holidays

• 401k match

• Charitable donation match

• Access to Udemy - An online learning and teaching marketplace with over 185,000 courses. Learn programming, marketing, data science, or brush up on your public speaking and writing skills. 
• Startup Culture - Our employees have a voice and can make a big impact across the organization. A lot of people in large companies don’t feel connected to what they’re doing and feel like they’re put in a box. Here you will have the freedom to be creative and innovative. We’re looking for smart and driven people to help get us to the next level.
