Staff Software Engineer

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer who will help solve complex technical and operational problems in the cybersecurity industry. Candidates will directly support Blackpoint's cybersecurity mission, helping to stop cyber-attacks, and protecting Blackpoint's rapidly growing customer base.

The Product Engineering team is seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer who will thrive in a fast-paced, remote environment. In this role, you will be instrumental in building and scaling both the application-layer services and the underlying platform and data infrastructure that power our cybersecurity products — spanning full-stack development and platform/data engineering across multiple product teams. This position is ideal for someone who excels in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about developing robust, scalable systems that address complex cybersecurity challenges.

This role reports to the VP of Product Engineering.

• Be responsible for delivering on business-critical outcomes through your product contributions to our cybersecurity platform, defining and building world-class user experiences that delight all our Blackpoint customers and owning those experiences end-to-end.
• Lead and drive projects across the stack — TypeScript, React, and Node.js services hosted on Kubernetes — as well as the underlying data pipelines and platform infrastructure that support them.
• Lead architectural decisions for platform and data systems across ingestion, modeling, storage, and orchestration, including implementing patterns like the Medallion Architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold) where relevant.
• Design and maintain pipelines for onboarding new data domains and integrating them into product-facing services.
• Strengthen observability across services and pipelines — introducing metrics, lineage, SLAs/SLOs, and alerting.
• Leverage your deep understanding of design and architecture, along with best practices in design patterns, to optimize for performance, scale, and resiliency.
• Excel as a team player by recognizing the importance of diverse perspectives and managing expectations and needs across numerous cross-functional groups, including mentoring other engineers and leading them in complex, cross-functional projects.
• Communicate effectively with leadership to define technical solutions, aligning them with high-level business objectives and providing clear progress updates.
• Identify, evaluate, and implement AI-powered tools and practices that enhance development, testing, delivery, and observability — championing responsible use of AI to automate routine tasks and boost team productivity.
