Senior Software Engineer - Security Products

The Security Products group is responsible for developing a range of security related products at Fastly. We are made up of multifaceted teams that work together to build industry leading security products that our customers rely on to secure their infrastructure. Some parts are especially performance-critical, so we are looking for a full-time optimization and code quality enthusiast. Engineers with Golang experience, C/C++ or Java background are welcome since the problem space is similar.  However, you’ll find the tools in Golang to be simpler and easier to use.

  • Write clean, modular, robust code to implement the desired requirements
  • Coordinate and communicate seamlessly with the team members and across other technical and product teams
  • Contribute to code reviews, improving the codebase and other team processes
  • Race detection and concurrency optimization
  • Memory allocation and analysis
  • Hotspot analysis and remediation
  • Architectural design and system implementation for scale and reliability
  • Improving and adding static tests and automating these tests so problems are surfaced faster

What We're Looking For

  • Strong Linux and Bash skills
  • Written or previously optimized high-load servers (language agnostic)
  • Experience developing, releasing, and maintaining web applications with modern languages like Golang or C/C++ or Java and assessing technological risk within a high-traffic production environment
  • Experience working in a collaborative team environment
  • Extensive product development experience
  • Experience leading software teams and projects
  • Knowledge of AWS and Docker Containers & cloud infrastructure is a plus

In accordance with applicable law, Fastly’s minimum base pay for this role if hired in Colorado is $150,000 per year. Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Fastly's equity plan. Final offer amount will be at the company’s sole discretion and determined by multiple factors, including years and depth of experience and expertise, location and other business considerations. Note that this role is available to candidates outside of Colorado and different minimum compensation may apply.

  • Health benefits (medical, dental, and vision)
    • Medical: Cigna or Kaiser available
  • Retirement benefits and employer match
  • Life Insurance (Basic and Voluntary Life)
  • Short & Long Term Disability with a buy-up LTD option

Why Fastly?

  • We have a huge impact. Fastly is a small company with a big reach. Not only do our customers have a tremendous user base, but we also support a growing number of open source projects and initiatives. Outside of code, employees are encouraged to share causes close to their heart with others so we can help lend a supportive hand.

  • We love distributed teams. Fastly’s home-base is in San Francisco, but we have multiple offices and employees sprinkled around the globe. In fact, 50% of our employees work outside of SF! An international remote culture is in our DNA.

  • We care about you. Fastly works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We support our teams with great benefits like up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave, options for free medical/dental/vision plans, and an open vacation program that enables our folks to take the time they need to recharge (some benefits may vary by location).

  • We value diversity. Growing and maintaining our inclusive and diverse team matters to us. We are committed to being a company where our employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work and have the ability to be successful -- every day.

  • We are passionate. Fastly is chock full of passionate people and we’re not ‘one size fits all’. Fastly employs authors, pilots, skiers, parents (of humans and animals), makeup geeks, coffee connoisseurs, and more. We love employees for who they are and what they are passionate about.

We’re always looking for humble, sharp, and creative folks to join the Fastly team. If you think you might be a fit, please apply!
