About the role

  • 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.

Benefits

  • Sophos operates a remote-first working model, making remote work the primary option for most employees. However, some roles may necessitate a hybrid approach.
  • Employee-led diversity and inclusion networks that build community and provide education and advocacy
  • Annual charity and fundraising initiatives and volunteer days for employees to support local communities
  • Global employee sustainability initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint
  • Global fitness and trivia competitions to keep our bodies and minds sharp
  • Global wellbeing days for employees to relax and recharge
  • Monthly wellbeing webinars and training to support employee health and wellbeing
