About WideField Security

At WideField Security, our mission is simple and ambitious: we stop identity breaches.
Eighty percent of today’s attacks start with an identity incident, yet enterprises still lack visibility and control over how identities are used, shared, and abused. WideField was founded to solve this problem by providing a new layer of protection focused on identities in use.

Our platform continuously monitors every human and non-human session across applications and cloud environments to detect identity-based threats in real time.

We are an early-stage, high-growth cybersecurity startup backed by Crosspoint Capital Partners and Engineering Capital. We have already achieved early success with enterprise customers who believe that the next frontier of security lies in protecting identities, not just credentials.

Core Qualifications :

• Design and Development: Lead the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of new features and services across our platform.

• Backend Engineering: Build and maintain scalable, high-performance APIs and microservices using Node.js, Nest.js, and Golang.

• Frontend Engineering: Develop responsive, high-quality user interfaces and reusable components using React.

• Technical Leadership: Take ownership of complex technical domains, from initial concept through production deployment and monitoring.

• Startup Mindset: Exhibit a strong sense of urgency and bias for action by rapidly iterating, solving problems, and delivering results in ambiguous or fast-changing situations.

• Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define specifications and deliver a cohesive user experience.

• Code Quality: Uphold and promote engineering best practices, including robust testing, code reviews, and performance optimization.

• Frontend Expertise: Deep proficiency in React (hooks, state management, routing) and modern JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS.

• Backend Expertise (Primary): Strong professional experience with Node.js and the Nest.js framework.

• Backend Expertise (Secondary): Hands-on experience developing services in Golang (Go), demonstrating an ability to choose the right tool for performance-critical tasks.

• Architecture: Experience designing and working with RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and relational/NoSQL databases.

• DevOps: Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS) and CI/CD pipelines is a plus.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Problem Solver: A strong, demonstrated ability to analyze complex issues and devise effective, long-term technical solutions.

• CyberSecurity Experience: Knowledge of common security vulnerabilities, defensive coding practices, and experience implementing security features in backend services.

• Excellent Debugging Skills: Ability to quickly isolate, diagnose, and resolve complex production issues.

• Ownership and Responsibility: Proactive approach with a strong sense of ownership over the product, code quality, and system reliability.

• Metrics and Alerting: Experience implementing robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) to ensure system health and performance.
