Senior Software Engineering - Telecommute

Software Engineer - US

Massachusetts, Maryland, or Greater Austin, TX (Remote)
Team: Product & Engineering
Employment Type: Full-Time
Exploitation prevention is only as strong as the intelligence driving those efforts, and most of the industry is still running on intelligence that lacks exploit context. VulnCheck, The Exploit Intelligence Company, delivers structured exploit intelligence on what is actively weaponized in the wild, purpose-built for the data lakes, ETL pipelines, automation, and AI and LLM workflows your infrastructure already runs on, raising the capability of everything it powers.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and scale the core systems that power VulnCheck's vulnerability intelligence platform. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you'll own critical services and data pipelines end-to-end-from design through production.

You'll play a key role in shaping architecture, improving system performance and reliability, and delivering features that directly impact customers. While you'll help resolve production issues, your focus will be on building durable, scalable solutions that prevent them. Although this is a 100% remote role, preference is for candidates located in either Greater Boston, DMV (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia), or Greater Austin, TX.
Design and build scalable backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines
Own services end-to-end, including architecture, development, deployment, and operation
Write high-quality, maintainable code and drive engineering best practices

5+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems as a software engineer
Strong programming skills in one or more languages (Python, Go, Java, etc.)
Experience in cybersecurity, vulnerability management, or threat intelligence
Deep understanding of APIs, system design, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
Experience working with data pipelines, ETL systems, or high-volume data processing
Strong ownership mindset with the ability to lead projects independently
Preferred Qualifications Familiarity with CVE, NVD, KEV, or exploit intelligence datasets
Experience with streaming systems or real-time data processing
Comprehensive healthcare coverage
Remote friendly environment with flexibility
Expense reimbursement for Cell Phone & Internet
