We are looking for an experienced full stack developer to join our engineering team in Cambridge. You will be working on the Wolf Security Controller - a web-based management platform for our product. Working within a small and focused team, the job covers:

The Controller provides security policy and software updates for the endpoint security product installed on the client PCs. It also receives status, events and threat data from these clients, including malware traces which are used to produce interactive visualisations in the Controller UI and summarised in reports. The Controller is deployed at scale, both on-premises at individual corporate enterprises with tens of thousands of clients, and in the cloud across multiple Amazon AWS instances. We're looking to scale further, while also adding support for new products and enhancing existing features. There may also be an opportunity to work on other supporting cloud services where we make use of Go, PostgreSQL and AWS Lambda.
