Job Title: Founding Engineer

Salary: £60K – £120K + Equity

Company Description: Tracebit - Series A cloud security startup backed by Accel and FirstMark

Job Description:

Join a high-calibre team building the future of cloud intrusion detection. As a Founding Engineer, you will deploy intelligent canary resources to catch attackers across cloud environments. Working directly with the founders, you will ship daily to massive clients like Riot Games and Snyk, processing billions of events weekly using a modern, scalable stack.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Significant equity and founding-level impact at a company that recently raised a $20M Series A led by FirstMark and Accel.
• Exceptional market traction with doubled ARR last quarter and a client list including Docker, Snyk, and Synthesia.
• High-density talent environment working alongside engineers from Tessian and Proofpoint in a vibrant Central London office.

What you will do:

• Design and build cloud-native security products across the stack using C# on .NET Core 10, Terraform, and HTMX.
• Collaborate face-to-face with the CTO and Engineering Lead to solve complex architectural challenges for global enterprise customers.
• Take end-to-end ownership of large features, from initial customer feedback and discovery to production deployment and monitoring.

The ideal candidate:

• Several years of experience shipping production-grade software at scale within a product-focused company or high-growth startup.
• Strong proficiency in at least one object-oriented language and hands-on experience with public cloud infrastructure like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• A proactive, "get things done" mindset that thrives in an in-person, fast-paced environment with minimal bureaucracy and daily shipping cycles.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
