Who are we?At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk. We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface. We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale. Our Product team at UpGuard comprises our Product Management, Product Support, Engineering, Design, Data Leaks Detection, and Third Party Risk Management Services. Our Product team’s vision is to become the leader in the Cyber VRM category by providing a best-in-class SaaS platform for organisations to manage their third-party risk and external attack surface. Our purpose as a Product team is simply to build a product that enables this. We aim to build a product that users love and come to rely on, and one that regularly and consistently improves. About The RoleWe’re hiring engineers at multiple levels to join our Product Engineering team as we continue to scale rapidly and sustain strong growth.

As Software Engineers at UpGuard, we immerse ourselves in the swiftly evolving and increasingly vital realm of cybersecurity. Our focus is on presenting data in intelligent and creative ways, crafting integrated solutions that directly influence the security posture of our global customers. With the majority of the internet scanned across multiple vectors daily, we confront challenges like high throughput, massive concurrency, and big data. The way we address these challenges reflects the essence of the engineers we welcome into our team. In this role, you’ll work within a cross-functional team that values iteration, collaboration, and speed. Together, we deliver customer value quickly while ensuring security and reliability at every step. We value clean code, thoughtful design, and engineers who care about the product as much as the technology it is built on.

01What you’ll do

  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, and designers to create world-class products.
  • Own and develop new customer-facing features end-to-end
  • Improve system reliability, scalability, and performance
  • Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions and architectural decisions.
  • Explore an interesting, challenging domain, mastering the fundamentals of cybersecurity and the internet.

02What you'll bring

  • 4+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech-centric and product-driven companies
  • Curious about exploring new technologies, particularly AI and LLMs, to enhance both developer productivity and customer experience
  • Experience with JavaScript, React, and other web technologies
  • Proficiency with a backend language (we use Go) 
  • Proficiency with relational databases (we use Postgres)
  • Excited to help shape product features that improve user experience and drive impact
  • Able to make pragmatic trade-offs in design and delivery, balancing technical quality with business needs

03What will give you an edge

  • Experience in cybersecurity. If not, you’ll just need to be willing to learn
  • Comfortable building complex applications and systems from the ground up in collaboration with cross-functional teams
  • Care deeply about user experience and are motivated by building products that make a meaningful impact for customers
  • Have a humble attitude and a strong desire to contribute to the team’s success
  • We use a modern stack, including React, Go, and Kubernetes, on Google Cloud Platform, so experience with these technologies is a plus.

04Why you’ll love it here

  • A strong engineering culture focused on learning, impact, and craftsmanship
  • Opportunities to work on cutting-edge problems in security, AI, and scale.
  • Regular team off-sites, collaborative professional development, and a no-ego culture.

05What's in it for you

  • Monthly Lifestyle subsidy: Use this for financial, physical, and mental well-being 
  • WFH set-up allowance: To ensure you have the right environment to work in, we will help you get set up within your first 3 months at UpGuard 
  • $1500 USD annual Learning & Development allowance: To support your career development, all team members will be able to expense development opportunities against this allowance
