TalonX Careers
Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead
About the job
We are an early stage company in the Security Automation space operating in stealth. We are founded and led by experts in security software products and services, with extensive experience at venture-backed startups and decades of security domain experience. We have identified an important gap in the market and are gearing up to fill this gap.
Our solution requires constructing a challenging system from the ground up. This will be a cloud-based SaaS asynchronous system that will eventually need to run at scale.
You’ll be a good match if you relish the opportunity to build a greenfield product that incorporates all that you’ve learned from your past experiences. There are important decisions to make and code to be written, and that’s where you come in. We are looking for a technical leader. We have settled on AWS, Linux and Python but almost everything else will be determined by our early engineers. You’ll be deep into hands-on coding day to day while providing leadership to more junior engineers.
Come shape the first versions of our products and technologies!

Excitement at the prospect of building something from the ground up. Comfortable helping set the direction for the company, product and technology
