Senior Software Engineer developing AI-powered security products at Sophos. Owning end-to-end product development from idea to production across frontend, backend, and APIs.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end product development — from idea, research, and architecture to production.
Build and ship AI-powered security products across frontend, backend, and APIs.
Develop scalable, high-quality interfaces and systems that power real user workflows.
Work with minimal specs — define problems, make decisions, and execute independently.
Collaborate when needed, but primarily operate with lean ownership and high autonomy.
Drive adoption and impact — iterate based on real usage, not just requirements.
Leverage LLMs and AI tooling to accelerate development and improve team productivity.
Continuously improve systems, code quality, and developer workflows.
Requirements
Is comfortable building end-to-end products (UI, APIs, systems, deployment).
Thinks from first principles, not just patterns or frameworks.
Demonstrates high agency — takes ownership, drives clarity, and executes without waiting.
Writes clean, scalable, maintainable code with strong fundamentals.
Has experience or strong interest in AI-powered development (LLMs, agents, automation, copilots).
Uses AI tools to accelerate development and decision-making.
Can operate in low-structure, fast-moving environments with minimal PM/design dependency.
Makes pragmatic trade-offs — balances speed, quality, and long-term thinking.
Cares about shipping real products, not just building components.
Years of experience does not matter to us, but we think most devs would need 4+ years of engineering experience across frontend + backend.
Interest and knowledge of security is a plus.
