Lead Software Engineer

Company Description Cyberlop Labs is focused on advanced application security testing that actively logs in as multiple user roles, analyzes live application behavior, and reports only vulnerabilities it can actually exploit. The platform operates inside a customer’s own network with minimal outbound connections and no open inbound ports, helping teams enhance security without expanding their attack surface. Cyberlop complements, rather than replaces, traditional scanners by validating exploits with detailed requests, screenshots, and code references, then verifying fixes. The company offers transparent pricing options, including founding rates, pilot programs, and partner discounts for MSSPs. Cyberlop is committed to measurable, evidence-based security outcomes and publishes independent benchmark results instead of marketing-driven detection claims.
Role Description The Lead Software Engineer role at Cyberlop Labs is a full-time, remote position responsible for driving the design, development, and optimization of core application security testing features. This role leads the technical direction of back-end services and distributed systems, ensuring high performance, reliability, and secure integration with customer environments. Day-to-day work includes architecting and reviewing system components, writing production-quality code, performing code reviews, and guiding implementation best practices for the engineering team. The Lead Software Engineer collaborates closely with product, security, and operations teams to translate complex security requirements into robust software solutions and to improve the overall developer experience. This role also mentors other engineers, promotes engineering excellence, and contributes to long-term technical roadmap decisions.
