Why we’re looking for you

We need thoughtful, creative, and rigorous engineers to join a fast-paced, high-impact team. We’re looking for engineers who want to help build our core product suite and own some of the company’s – and the world’s – highest priority problems across tech stacks.

Responsibilities

• Scope, design, and implement high-performance APIs and backend services
• Hide complexity from our users behind simple yet powerful abstractions – both user-facing and developer-facing
• Build scalable, reliable infrastructure to handle terabytes of data and unlock new customer opportunities
• Influence the technical and product directions of Protego’s roadmap
• Make thoughtful trade-offs that consider business priorities, user needs, and a sustainable technical foundation

Preferred qualifications

• 3+ years experience in full-stack engineering, preferably in Node.js, TypeScript, React, and SQL
• Deep alignment with our mission of building a safer Internet
• Experience leading projects from initial design to launch
• Experience with large-scale, distributed systems is a plus
• Experience building containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes is a plus
• A customer-first mindset in everything you build
• An orientation towards impact — on their own projects, throughout Protego, and across the world
• A high standard, for yourself and others, when working with production systems
• Open communication skills — ask questions, assume good intentions, and default to transparency
• Rigor and empathy that help you thrive in a collaborative and high-performance environment
• Pride in owning projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems
• The ability to balance speed, complexity, and scope in service of user needs
