Senior Security & Infrastructure Engineer

We're building the front door for how businesses partner with government in America.

Public agencies spend roughly a trillion dollars a year with private companies, and nearly all of it still moves through infrastructure that hasn't changed in decades. Starbridge is building the full operating system for that relationship: the data, the signals, the workflows, and the rails that let a company find a public buyer, win the work, and get paid.

We monitor 320,000+ public sector entities around the clock. 500+ customers have joined us since our launch in March. We've raised $50M from top investors including Craft and Michael Seibel of Y Combinator.

Your primary focus will be cloud security and hardening, vulnerability management, and the technical work behind our security and compliance program. You'll investigate findings, implement controls, drive remediation, and maintain evidence that demonstrates how our systems protect customer data.

You'll also share responsibility for infrastructure and reliability with our engineering team. That includes improving deployments, troubleshooting production issues, and contributing code that makes our platform more secure and dependable.

We're particularly interested in someone who enjoys tinkering with AI and building automations that make everyday work easier.

Our stack includes AWS, GCP, Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, PostgreSQL, and Redis.

We move fast — really fast. Getting back to someone today beats tomorrow, and our interview process reflects that mindset. Please keep us posted on your timeline so we can move quickly and speed things up where needed. All interviews are conducted via Google Meet.

After submitting your application, the team reviews your CV and statement of exceptional work. If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 30-minute interview during which a member of our team will make sure you're a good fit for the role. You will have the opportunity ask questions and learn more about the role as well.

We'll then send you a programming challenge that consists of two parts: LeetCode and SQL. Beyond that step, you will enter the main process, which consists of three interviews:

1. System design exercise hands-on.

2. Live coding in Java/Kotlin.

3. Product thinking and past work.

Our goal is to finish the process within one week. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet.
