Senior Software Engineer – Control Plane Lead – San Francisco, CA (remote) Confero is partnering with a well‑funded early‑stage startup building an AI Agent Swarm that reduces noise and highlights critical security threats for SOC teams.

The team is hiring a Senior Engineer to

own the architecture and delivery of the control plane

– the layer that defines how services communicate, how policies are enforced, and how the entire system scales.

This is a foundational role with an outsized impact and zero legacy constraints.

What You’ll Do

Architect and implement the control plane: API servers, orchestration logic, access control

Design and scale data architectures with a strong focus on Snowflake (other DB experience acceptable)

Build policy enforcement frameworks spanning authZ, data access, and tenant isolation

Write high‑quality backend code in Go and/or Java

Influence engineering standards, reliability practices, and long‑term technical direction

What We’re Looking For

7+ years in backend or infrastructure engineering

Strong database expertise across Snowflake, SQL, MySQL, or PostgreSQL

Solid experience with Go or Java in production environments

Background in data platforms (Snowflake preferred) and cloud infra (AWS, GCP)

Experience building secure, policy‑driven, or multi‑tenant systems

Startup or meaningful 0→1 product experience

Bonus

Knowledge of Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker, or big‑data systems (Spark, Hadoop)

Exposure to platform security, auth frameworks, or distributed control systems

Why This Role

Own critical infrastructure long before scale

No legacy constraints; design with a modern stack from day one

Clear path to Staff or Principal‑level ownership

Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
