The posting

Upwind is a next-generation Cloud Security Platform that leverages runtime context to identify and prioritize critical risks, providing precise insights and efficient cloud security management.

With industry-leading efficiency and eBPF-powered sensors, Upwind delivers comprehensive capabilities, including agentless cloud posture discovery, real-time threat protection, and integrated API security.

This role is ideal for a software engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, building reliable systems, and working at the intersection of software engineering and cutting-edge cybersecurity research.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain production-grade services, tools, and infrastructure that support the Security Research team.
  • Collaborate closely with Security Researchers to translate research prototypes into robust, maintainable production features.
  • Build reliable APIs, services, and data pipelines that integrate with the Upwind platform.
  • Improve the scalability, performance, and maintainability of research-driven systems.
  • Work cross-functionally with Product, Platform, DevOps, and other engineering teams to deliver customer-facing capabilities.

  • Experience working with cloud platforms and distributed systems.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with researchers and rapidly iterate on new ideas while maintaining production-quality code.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a passion for building high-quality engineering solutions.
  • Self-driven, resourceful, and comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
