As a Staff Software Engineer, Vulnerability Management, you will play a key role in building and maintaining the critical infrastructure that powers Iru’s multiple product lines. Reporting to the Director of Engineering for VM, you will work on the reliability, scalability, and security of Iru’s Vulnerability Management services. This newly formed team will focus on enabling rapid innovation by developing and maintaining foundational components that support our broader engineering organization.

You will collaborate closely with other development teams to decompose monolithic applications into well-structured services, build self-serve infrastructure capabilities, and develop shared services that enhance developer productivity. The VM team owns and maintains essential components such as the API Gateway, Service Mesh, Real-Time Communication (MQTT), and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. This role requires participation in an on-call rotation to ensure platform stability and reliability.

This is a unique opportunity to shape and influence the foundational infrastructure of a high-growth company while working alongside a talented and motivated team. If you are passionate about building scalable and reliable systems and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you.
