About the role
Our product helps security teams quickly and accurately detect intrusions in their cloud environment using canaries - decoy tripwires deployed to deceive attackers. We're at a massive inflection point and this is a hugely exciting time to join the company: We've just raised a $20m Series A led by FirstMark with Accel, MMC, Tapestry and CCL. We doubled ARR last quarter, work with companies like Riot Games, Docker and Snyk, and have grown from 5 people to 26 in 18 months. Our research recently helped fix a P1 security flaw in Google's Gemini CLI. We’re looking for someone who… Is genuinely interested in technology and cyber security, and keen to build a career in it. Has a strong academic foundation - an undergraduate or/and master's degree, ideally in a STEM subject like computer science, engineering, maths, physics… and has demonstrated real academic excellence. Has strong engineering fundamentals and a real appetite to learn - can write clean, correct code in a known language, and is genuinely curious about how things work under the hood. Has built things they're proud of - side projects, open source, hackathons… And is excited by the pace and rate of change that is inevitable in any successful, early stage startup. Gets their energy from getting things done and in the hands of customers but is also here to have fun along the way! If you don’t fit this bill exactly but think you could make a difference here - please, apply! Role Reporting to Niall , our Engineering Lead, and with significant exposure to our CTO and Co-Founder, Sam , you’ll join a team of other awesome engineers looking to make their mark on the world. This includes: Working face to face with both founders, the whole engineering team and our customers and prospects to build a delightful product that solves real problems. Working across the stack, mostly in C# on .NET Core 10 ( here's why ), but also Terraform and building out our frontend in HTMX. All the good practices you’d expect from technical co-founders who’ve done this before (CD, Infrastructure as code, simple but scalable and powerful architecture) We’re a small, tight team with demanding customers so expect to be shipping every day with very little bureaucracy. We actively encourage AI-assisted development and give every engineer full access to tools like Claude and Codex. We’re based in a Central London office and work here 5 days a week (and everyone we hire will too). FAQs How is work organised at Tracebit? It’s a small, tight team - we have a standup everyday, each team member is usually responsible for delivering something reasonably large for customers and we meet every few weeks to talk about longer term plans. Between that - there’s a tonne of discussions, customer feedback and analysis, but not a huge amount of process,
