Staff Software Engineer

Petra Security · San Francisco, CA · 2 mo ago
On-siteEngineering$20/hrFull-time

What You’ll Do

  • Build and evolve our detection platform.
  • Working closely with our founding team, you'll help design and build the systems that identify account compromise in real time — spanning signal ingestion, behavioral analysis, and AI-powered decisioning.
  • Drive product quality end to end.
  • Take problems from raw customer insight through to shipped, production features.
  • Architect for scale.
  • Raise the technical bar.

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time in production systems at scale.
  • Deep full-stack fluency — comfortable owning a feature from data model to UI, with strong opinions about where to draw the lines.
  • Experience building data-intensive or real-time systems.
  • Bonus if you've worked on security, fraud detection, or anomaly detection pipelines.
  • Strong ML/AI integration experience — you've shipped systems that use models in production, not just experimented with them.
  • High agency and high output. You don't wait for a spec — you identify the problem, propose the solution, and execute.
  • Sharp and scrappy. You learn fast, ask the right questions, and figure it out — whether that's a technical tradeoff, the right abstraction, or the right shortcut.
  • Comfortable in a small-team, high-autonomy environment.
  • Proud of your craft. You care about building things that work well and hold up over time.

  • Healthcare, dental, vision
  • Lunch and dinner when working in the office
