Role Summary

At Sophos, our mission is clear: defeat cyberattacks and protect organizations around the world. We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Security features team and help build the systems that make that mission possible.

In this role, you will work as part of a fast-paced, high-performing engineering team that designs, architects, and builds systems from the ground up. You’ll own the delivery of project work end-to-end — from understanding requirements, through design, implementation, testing, and deployment — and you’ll be responsible for the full lifecycle of the code you ship, including production support and continuous improvement.

This position is for an engineer who has a few years of professional experience under their belt and is ready to take ownership of meaningful work with moderate guidance. You’ll partner with senior engineers on more complex problems, mentor more junior teammates, serve as an on-call first responder for the services your team owns, and help raise the bar on quality and developer experience across the team.

We value curiosity, flexibility, and creative problem solving, and we’re committed to helping engineers continue to grow into senior technical leaders.
