Platform Developer
As a Platform Developer at RedMimicry, you will build and operate the core backend systems of our Breach and Attack Emulation platform. Your primary focus is our Go-based backend: extending services, designing and evolving APIs, integrating internal subsystems that support realistic attack scenarios, and ensuring the platform is secure, reliable, and safe to run in customer environments, including on-premises deployments.
While the role is backend-focused, you will occasionally implement and maintain Svelte frontend components as part of delivering complete features into production. You do not need to be a UI specialist, but you should be comfortable owning changes across the stack when needed.
You will collaborate closely with engineers and security specialists in a small team. Your work will have direct and visible impact on the product.
AI-assisted development tools are part of our engineering workflow, particularly for frontend work. We expect you to use these tools productively and responsibly, while maintaining clear ownership and a high standard of code quality, review, security, and maintainability.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and maintain core backend components of our Breach and Attack Emulation platform using Go.
- Design and extend APIs used by the frontend and by internal platform components.
- Implement and maintain Svelte-based frontend components as part of product feature development.
- Work with internal subsystems such as malware generation pipelines and infrastructure orchestration.
- Contribute to a secure and reliable system design and ensure safe execution of playbooks in customer environments.
- Improve internal tooling, automation, and CI/CD workflows.
- Work closely with security content engineers and other developers.
