Full job description

We’re looking for a Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer with deep expertise in Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL/Supabase, and AI-assisted development to design, build, and deliver the scalable, secure systems behind our cybersecurity platform.

This is a hands-on, product-focused role for an engineer who:

  • Thrives at the intersection of secure software engineering, data-heavy systems, and product innovation
  • Is fluent in AI tooling (Cursor, Devin, Copilot, etc.) and knows how to turn them into real velocity — not toys
  • Can design full-stack solutions, think strategically about risk and performance, and help us move business logic closer to the data layer (Postgres + Supabase)
  • Full-Stack Development: Build and maintain secure, scalable web applications using Next.js/React, TypeScript, and Node – backed by PostgreSQL on Supabase (and AWS RDS during migration). Own features end-to-end from UI to database.
  • Database-Centric Application Logic: Design and implement business logic close to the data using Postgres functions, views, triggers, Row-Level Security (RLS), and Supabase Edge Functions, minimizing unnecessary middleware and enabling high performance and strong data isolation.
  • AI-Accelerated Development: Treat tools like Cursor, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and agent frameworks as core parts of your workflow. You'll use them to scaffold and refactor full-stack features, generate and evolve schemas, migrations, and RLS policies and build internal agents that automate repetitive engineering tasks and glue systems together
  • Application Security First: Embed security best practices into every layer of development — from secure coding and dependency management to data protection and authentication/authorization (Supabase Auth, OAuth2/OIDC, SSO). Collaborate with security researchers to ensure features align with threat models.
  • Product Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with product managers and designers to translate customer pain points into impactful, intuitive features. Participate in product discovery and help shape roadmaps with a strong technical and data-informed perspective.
  • Architect & Scale: Design and optimize API contracts, edge endpoints, and event flows using Next.js (server components, API routes) and Supabase (Edge Functions, real-time). Consider performance, resiliency, and multi-region deployment (read replicas, data partitioning) as first-class concerns.
  • Data Expertise: Model and optimize relational data in PostgreSQL for large, multi-tenant workloads. Own indexing strategies, query performance, and data partitioning approaches to support 10x–30x growth in customers and data.
  • Security-Integrated DevOps: Support automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, database migrations, and vulnerability scanning throughout the development lifecycle. Work closely with infrastructure engineers on Supabase + AWS environments, observability, and performance tuning.
  • Mentorship & Collaboration: Provide guidance and thoughtful code reviews to peers, fostering a culture of quality, security, and ownership. Help raise the bar on full-stack, data-centric, and AI-native engineering practices.
  • Continuous Learning: Stay ahead of trends in AI-assisted engineering, agentic systems, application security, Next.js, and modern Postgres/Supabase practices, and share what you learn with the team.
  • Lead Full-Stack Engineer with experience building and shipping production web apps using Next.js/React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and a Node-based backend
  • AI-native developer who regularly uses AI-assisted dev tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Devin) to move faster, improve code quality, and explore design options, and knows when to verify output
  • Strong backend and data modeling skills in Postgres; experience with Supabase (Auth, RLS, Edge Functions, migrations) or similar Postgres-based platforms is a plus
  • Security-conscious engineer with a solid understanding of secure web application development, authentication/authorization, and modern security best practices; familiarity with software supply chain security or interest in learning quickly
  • Experience deploying and operating applications in the cloud (ideally AWS), with working knowledge of Docker, CI/CD, and modern managed or serverless platforms
  • Product-minded and collaborative, balancing technical rigor with user and business needs, caring about testing and maintainability, and communicating clearly in a remote, cross-functional team
  • 30 Days: Ship small full-stack features in our Next.js + Supabase stack; learn our security and data architecture; demonstrate effective use of AI tools + agentic workflows in your day-to-day work.
  • 60 Days: Own and deliver secure, high-impact features end-to-end; contribute to schema and API design; help refine patterns for RLS, migrations, edge functions, and internal AI/agent tooling.
  • 90 Days: Lead new initiatives, drive improvements in performance and security posture, shape our full-stack and AI-native architecture, and mentor peers on Next.js, Supabase, and AI-accelerated development.
  • Backend / Platform: Supabase (PostgreSQL, Auth, Edge Functions, Storage), Node/TypeScript services
  • Data: PostgreSQL (Supabase + AWS RDS during migration), Redis
  • Auth & Security: Supabase Auth, OAuth2/OIDC, GitHub, Trivy, Snyk
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (for supporting services), modern CI/CD
  • AI Tools: Cursor, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and modern agent frameworks where appropriate
  • Be a part of building the leading platform for connected device cybersecurity.
  • Join a fast-moving team that values transparency, innovation, and impact.
  • Work fully remotely with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
  • Investment: We offer learning stipends to support your professional development
  • Equity: We offer equity so you can share in our growth and success
  • Help solve some of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges facing connected device manufacturers and the millions of people who depend on them
  • Tier 1 (San Francisco, New York, Seattle): $230,000 - $290,000
