The Opportunity
Ocho is partnering with a high-growth, next-generation Cloud Security platform building cutting-edge solutions that help organisations identify and prioritise real security risks in real time.
This is not a legacy environment. This is modern cloud-native engineering at scale.
You will join a strong backend team solving complex distributed systems challenges daily, working across AWS, GCP and Azure, and building systems that operate in high-performance, high-availability environments.
If you enjoy ownership, technical depth, and working on meaningful security-driven products, this is a serious opportunity.
The Role
As a Backend Developer, you will take ownership across the full lifecycle of short-life, high-impact engineering projects, from design and development through to deployment, monitoring and production optimisation.
You will:
- Design, build and deploy backend services in Golang and/or Java
- Contribute to system architecture, scalability planning and SLO definition
- Perform reliability and performance analysis across distributed systems
- Work with data-intensive technologies including messaging and event systems
- Collaborate closely with DevOps, Frontend and Product teams
- Participate in design and code reviews within a high-performing engineering group
This is a role for engineers who want to build properly engineered systems, not just ship features.
Tech Environment
You will work with a modern stack including:
- AWS, GCP, Azure
- Kubernetes and Docker
- Golang and Java
- Neo4j, ElasticSearch, Redis, TimescaleDB
- RabbitMQ and event-driven systems
- CI/CD pipelines
- Microservices architecture
About You
We are keen to speak with engineers who have:
- A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related discipline
- Commercial backend experience in a high-level language, ideally Golang and/or Java
- Experience building or operating cloud-based systems
- Exposure to distributed systems, messaging platforms or data-intensive applications
- Experience working within microservices architecture
- Familiarity with CI/CD environments
What’s in it for you?
