About the Role

The Security Products Console team owns the public-facing interface for configuring Next-Gen WAF, DDoS protection, Bot Management, and future security products. Our APIs are critical for customers to manage security during active attacks, automate workflows, and adapt to the evolving threat landscape. This role involves shaping the API surface for new product launches and a growing developer ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Design, ship, and own public-facing APIs and backend services in Go.
• Utilize AI coding agents in daily workflow.
• Partner with frontend engineers, product managers, and security researchers to deliver the end-to-end customer experience.

Requirements

• Experience shipping a breaking API change to customers.
• Experience writing API deprecation notices.
• Proven ability to drive projects end-to-end, from design doc through post-launch.
• Good judgment on RESTful API design principles (resource modeling, versioning, idempotency, error semantics, pagination, OpenAPI).
• Experience designing APIs with consideration for downstream users (customers, support engineers, frontend teammates).
