Position Summary 

We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Software Engineer to join our Vancouver-based team. This hybrid role combines the benefits of team collaboration in the office with the flexibility of remote work, promoting a healthy work/life balance. As a key member of our tight-knit team, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of our data security platform — a high-performance system that ingests, normalizes, and analyzes audit data from databases and cloud services across AWS, Azure, and GCP to power real-time database activity monitoring and security policy enforcement. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Contribute to the continuous development and enhancement of our data security platform, including its core C++ log-processing engine and Python-based cloud integration services. 
• Build and maintain integrations with AWS, Azure, and GCP services using their respective SDKs. 
• Design and maintain REST APIs that expose platform capabilities to upstream services. 
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers and stakeholders, to understand and address customer needs effectively. 
• Dive deep into technological challenges — including distributed systems, concurrency, and cryptographic infrastructure — thinking strategically and solving problems for the general case. 
• Write robust, well-tested code using pytest and catch2, and demonstrate a commitment to quality in all aspects of development. 
• Share your work through demos, fostering a collaborative and transparent team culture. 

Minimum Qualifications 

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with production-level C++ and Python (both required) — C++ for our core log-processing engine, Python for cloud integration services. 
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent. 
• Proficient in Linux (RHEL/Oracle Linux) operating systems. 
• Experience building REST APIs (Flask or equivalent). 
• Working knowledge of MongoDB or similar document-oriented databases. 
• Hands-on experience integrating with cloud provider SDKs (AWS boto3, Azure SDK, or GCP client libraries). 
• Experience writing automated tests with pytest (Python) and/or catch2 (C++). 
• Familiarity with CMake and containerized build workflows (Docker or Podman). 

Preferred Qualifications  

• Familiarity with PKI, TLS certificate management, and cryptographic concepts (including emerging Post-Quantum Cryptography standards). 
• Experience debugging concurrent and distributed systems, including race conditions and deadlock analysis. 
• Exposure to database activity monitoring, SIEM, or data security tooling. 
• Knowledge of data formats: BSON, Parquet, JSON, CEF/LEEF. 
• Experience with rsyslog configuration. 
• Experience with LLM/AI APIs or ML frameworks, particularly for SQL analysis, log classification, or automated test generation (the team has active investigations into AI applications in these areas).
