About the role
About us Coalition is the world's first Active Insurance provider designed to help prevent digital risk before it strikes. Founded in 2017, Coalition combines comprehensive insurance coverage and innovative cybersecurity tools to help businesses manage and mitigate potential cyberattacks. Opportunities to make an impact with bold thinking are real—and happening daily at Coalition. About the role This is a Staff-level individual contributor role and the technical lead for the Security Engineering team behind Coalition Control, the platform that helps our policyholders manage their cyber risk and protect themselves from cyber crime. You'll own critical backend services end-to-end, set the technical direction, and be the person other engineers turn to for decisions and mentorship. We operate more like a Series B startup than a big-company engineering org: small teams, lots of ownership, a strong bias for shipping and iterating, and very little ceremony. Control is evolving fast, with new products like Login Security (protection for policyholders' identities and inboxes, built on Wirespeed) just released as an MVP, and more on the way for new sets of policyholders. We build with AI throughout (Cursor and Claude), so you can just cook. Responsibilities • Ship product fast: Work with Product, Design and Engineering to turn high-level goals into iterative plans, shape scope, and build and refine prototypes quickly, contributing across the stack with depth in backend. • Strengthen the platform: Own the technical vision, architecture, and expansion of the backend systems powering Coalition Control (Python/FastAPI, with Go services and a TypeScript/React frontend), and contribute to other Coalition Security Products. Take systems spread across many microservices and simplify them for a saner future. • Hold a high bar for engineering craft: Raise our standards for code, code reviews, testing, and reliability. Use our AI stack to gather context, define requirements, and get code written faster, so you spend your time on the decisions that matter. • Unblock and elevate the team: Lead the Control team of four engineers within a Security Engineering group of up to 15. Guide others through architectural trade-offs, give thoughtful but quick code reviews, and share what you know. • Work across lines: Partner with a wide range of teams and departments, and ramp up quickly into owning many technical decisions and their execution. • Share the pager: Join an on-call rotation across the Security Engineering team (one week roughly every eight weeks, with the team typically paged once or twice a month). Skills and Qualifications • Proven experience as a backend engineer designing and building distributed, event-driven systems and cloud-based services in production, ideally with tools like SQS or Kafka on AWS. • Demonstrated technical leadership, including influencing architecture, setting standards, mentoring other engineers, and collaborating effectively across teams. • Strong proficiency in a modern backend language and framework. Python/FastAPI is a plus, and Go experience is not required. Comfort with TypeScript/Node.js, and React.js is a plus. • Strong, hands-on use of AI-assisted development workflows (we generate the vast majority of our code with AI tools like Cursor and Claude). • Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and maintaining APIs, as well as integrating with third-party APIs or platforms. • A track record of taking complex existing systems and making them simpler and easier to evolve. • Empathy for the people using what you build, though you don't need to come from a company with massive scale. • Solid understanding of security concepts and practices. Experience in cybersecurity is a plus, but not required.
