Software Engineer

About the Role

The role entails working closely with senior engineers to deliver project-level work, with a focus on quality, reliability, and scalability. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the code you ship, including production support and continuous improvement. The team is fast-paced and high-performing, and you will be expected to take ownership of meaningful work with moderate guidance.

As a Software Engineer at Sophos, you will be part of a global team that is dedicated to delivering industry-leading cybersecurity solutions. The company's AI-driven platform and expert-led services have made it a leader in the field, and this role offers a chance to be part of a team that is shaping the future of cybersecurity.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, ship, and maintain features end-to-end in TypeScript across React frontends and backend services
• Own delivery of project-level work with moderate guidance — from breakdown and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and post-release iteration
• Design and implement APIs that query, aggregate, and serve data reliably at scale
• Build and operate cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform), following established team patterns
• Serve as an on-call first responder for the services your team owns; triage, debug, and resolve production issues, then drive durable fixes and improvements
• Create test plans for the features you build and contribute to automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end) to enable safe, frequent releases
• Conduct peer reviews of code, designs, test plans, and documentation, providing constructive feedback that raises team quality and adheres to engineering standards
• Mentor IC1 engineers and interns; openly share expertise and knowledge within the team
• Improve the developer experience by enhancing tooling, test coverage, and code structure (shift-left)
• Use modern AI coding tools to accelerate delivery while continuing to build the deep engineering foundations needed to grow into a senior engineer
• Collaborate with Product Managers, UX Designers, and other stakeholders to ensure that features meet business requirements and are delivered on time

What We Are Looking For

• 2+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, and React
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
• Strong understanding of APIs, data structures, and software design patterns
• Experience with testing frameworks and methodologies (e.g., Jest, Cypress)
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Experience with Adjust and Excel skills is a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-driven technologies and machine learning
• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles and best practices
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
• Experience with modern AI coding tools and technologies
• Certification in cloud computing (e.g., AWS, Azure)

Benefits and Perks

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment
• Flexible working hours and remote work options
• Professional development opportunities and training
• Access to the latest technologies and tools
• Recognition and reward for outstanding performance
• Comprehensive health and wellness programs
• Generous paid time off and holiday package

• Make sure to highlight your experience with cloud infrastructure, API development, and AI-driven technologies in your resume and cover letter.
• Be prepared to showcase your problem-solving skills and attention to detail during the interview process.
• Research Sophos' products and services to demonstrate your interest in the company and the role.
• Practice your coding skills and be prepared to complete a coding challenge or technical assessment as part of the interview process.
• Be prepared to discuss your experience with Adjust and Excel skills, and how you can apply them to the role.
• Don't be afraid to ask questions during the interview process, such as what a typical day looks like in the role, or what opportunities there are for professional development and growth.
