About Netcraft
Netcraft is the global leader in cybercrime detection and disruption. We’re a trusted partner for three of the four largest companies in the world and many large governments. We've blocked over 225 million cyber-attacks to date, and we take down around 33% of the world's phishing attacks.
Our purpose and passion are focused on just one thing: protecting the world from cybercrime.
That passion shapes how we work, too. We’re proud of our talented team and the value each person brings, and we’ve built a workplace where people feel supported and inspired. From strong benefits and wellness programs to meaningful collaboration and team connection.
The Role
We’re looking for a Backend Engineering Team Lead to establish and lead a new backend team responsible for several key Netcraft products, including:
- The Integration Layer, which enables customers to integrate their SIEM platforms with Netcraft data
- NSI, which supports engagement with criminals conducting conversational scams at scale
- The Web and SSL Server Survey
- Spam, which analyses emails from multiple sources to identify phishing and scam activity
These products are a mixture of legacy platforms that produce key data supporting Netcraft systems and new products that support our customer base. You’ll be a technical leader with expertise across a varied stack, with the commercial acumen to understand how to modernise legacy products as well as commercialise new products.
You will build a new team to manage and improve these products, contributing code, demonstrating best practice, and managing an exciting delivery roadmap.
You’ll be:
- Working with Product and Design colleagues to evaluate each of your products, determining where immediate improvements can be made and helping to develop the long-term strategy for each
- Operating with autonomy, taking the initiative to solve problems and recognising the importance of adhering to demanding delivery timelines
- Managing requirements from key stakeholders and customers, understanding what needs to be done based on business needs without necessarily needing to be told
- Prioritising, refining, and sequencing the team’s workflow while retaining approximately 30–50% of your time for hands-on engineering
- Deeply embedded in conceiving and executing engineering solutions, creating performant systems and services to delight our customers
- Upholding high engineering standards with a demonstrable commitment to code quality, a test-driven approach, and a modern continuous integration/continuous deployment delivery flow
- Well-versed in how AI-first development techniques can materially boost productivity
- Responsible for building and leading a high-performing team of talented and enthusiastic engineers
What You’ll Need to Be Successful
- Strong and demonstrable leadership skills, with a constructive attitude to problem-solving and the ability to switch effectively between priorities
- Excellent communication skills, including the ability to distil technical concepts for a range of stakeholders and motivate a team
- A strong engineering background spanning a range of technologies, including Go, OpenSearch, and MongoDB, with Perl experience considered an advantage
- A demonstrable track record of identifying opportunities to create significant value within existing products and taking ideas from concept through to production
- Experience partnering closely with Product Managers and Product Owners to shape product strategy, define priorities, and translate customer and business needs into effective technical solutions
- Experience working with AWS technologies and a range of machine learning tools and frameworks
- An interest in reverse-engineering codebases, where necessary, to understand the inner workings of legacy products
- Experience interviewing and hiring engineers, building effective teams, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement
Bonus Points If You Have:
- Strong Go development skills, particularly in technology modernisation or uplift projects
- Experience with generative AI technologies and where and how to apply them to improve customer experiences
- Practical experience managing engineers at different career stages, from recent graduates to seasoned professionals
