Full Job Posting

Requirements

  • We're looking first and foremost for a strong backend engineer.
  • You should have substantial hands-on experience building production backend systems and be comfortable owning complex engineering problems rather than working exclusively from detailed specifications.
  • Strong candidates will have experience with:
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant experience in backend development.
  • Strong hands-on programming experience in Rust, C++, or Go. Production Rust experience is preferred.
  • Designing and building backend services and microservices used in production.
  • Designing and implementing REST APIs, including API contracts, integrations, and service-to-service communication.
  • Designing database schemas and data models and working with application data-access layers.
  • Building or integrating with third-party APIs, SDKs, cloud services, or enterprise platforms.
  • Taking ambiguous technical requirements, researching unfamiliar technologies, and turning findings into a practical technical design and implementation plan.
  • Diagnosing and solving performance and scalability problems in production backend systems.
  • Debugging complex issues across multiple components or services.
  • Owning software through the full development lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, production validation, and ongoing support.
  • Working effectively with Product Management and other engineering teams in a distributed environment.
  • Helpful, not required:
  • Experience with any of the following will help you ramp quickly:
  • Production development in Rust
  • Kubernetes, containers, or cloud-native deployment environments
  • AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba Cloud, or other cloud platforms
  • Building products that integrate with multiple external systems or cloud providers
  • Cybersecurity, cryptography, key management, certificate management, or observability products
  • Experience working on a product during a high-growth or adoption phase, particularly where increasing usage created new performance or scalability challenges
  • What will make someone successful in this role:
  • The strongest engineer for this team isn't simply someone who knows Rust syntax.
  • We're looking for someone who can be given a problem and independently figure out how the technology works, evaluate the available APIs and SDKs, propose an architecture, build the integration, test it at scale, deploy it, and help troubleshoot it once customers begin using it.
  • If you enjoy that combination of research, backend architecture, hands-on coding, integrations, and production problem-solving, this role should give you substantial technical ownership.

Benefits

  • Hybrid Work Model
  • 12 Annual Leaves & 12 Casual/Sick Leaves
  • 8 Public Holidays + 2 Floating Holiday
  • Comprehensive Medical and Dental Insurance Coverage for employees and their eligible dependents
  • Group Life Insurance
  • Personal Accident Insurance
  • Internet Reimbursement
  • Employee Stock Options
  • Onsite Snacks, Lunches, and Dinners Provided
  • Quarterly Beer Bashes & Year-End Celebrations
  • Fortanix is an equal opportunity employer that celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace with equal opportunity for all applicants and teammates. Our goal is to recruit the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool regardless of race, color, religion, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other status.
