Job Description

What You’ll Do

As a Principal Software Engineer at Evolve Security, you’ll take full ownership of building, shaping, and supporting the software that powers our cybersecurity solutions. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will:

  • Design, code, and debug production-ready software
  • Improve the performance and reliability of existing systems
  • Mentor and train other engineers to help them grow
  • Maintain, enhance, and modernize our software stack
  • Research and recommend new technologies to boost team productivity
  • Lead the technical direction and execution of projects
  • Investigate and resolve software issues to ensure top-notch performance
  • Collaborate regularly with the team—sharing ideas, discussing roadmaps, and solving challenges

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

We’re searching for a builder—someone who thrives in a small, fast-moving team and takes end-to-end ownership. Ideal candidates will bring:

  • Significant hands-on development experience (this is not an entry-level role)
  • A passion for working in a small team where you own the entire lifecycle: development, delivery, maintenance, and customer experience
  • Cybersecurity experience (a plus, but not required)
  • Experience developing automated attack surface management software (a strong bonus, not required)
  • Familiarity using LLM-powered tooling (Cursor, Grok Code, Claude Sonnet, etc.) to work smarter and faster
  • Authorization to work in the U.S. (we cannot sponsor visas)

Benefits

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

  • A true startup culture with minimal bureaucracy—you’ll collaborate directly with our CTO
  • A fast-paced, challenging environment with real opportunities to stretch and grow
  • Complimentary Evolve Security Academy cybersecurity training
  • Healthcare benefits
  • 401(k) match
  • Parental leave
  • Flexible paid time off
  • Annual vacation reimbursement
  • Flexible remote work schedule
