About Levo Security

Levo is a seed stage security company in the APIs and Microservices space. We are on a mission to empower developers to be true guardians of customer data!

Microservices (software) are eating the world, and this is clear from the massive success of companies like Datadog, NewRelic, Synk, etc. Enabling developers to secure their APIs & Microservices is an untapped multi-billion dollar opportunity!

Levo makes it easy for developers to adopt security in their CI/CD pipelines, and deliver secure applications, similar to what Synk did for open source software components. With Levo, developers can ensure customer data is always accessed (via APIs) in a secure & authorized manner.

We are well funded by Tier 1 Silicon Valley VCs, and have customers we are actively working with. The founding team consists of folks who have built billion dollar companies before, including folks from AppDynamics, BlueCoat Systems, and D.E Shaw.

Design, architect, and build the core Platform and backend services

Location: Hyderabad
Type: Full-Time

Role Description:
This is a Software engineer role and requires you to think critically and design with first principles. You should be comfortable with multiple moving parts, microservices architecture, deploying the services with containers and continuous integration & continuous deployment. Given you will be laying the foundation for the core platform -- you need to pay very close attention to detail, and have a forward-thinking outlook while maintaining scrappiness for the present needs. You are very comfortable learning new technologies, and systems. You thrive in an iterative but heavily test-driven development environment.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, test and deploy the core platform services and infrastructure
• Design and build Levo's testing framework in Python and Java based backend services
• Design and build Levo’s data ingestion platform and query layer using Kafka, streaming technologies and gRPC query layer
• Experiment, prototype, measure, and make data-driven technology decisions
• Help improve engineering standards, tooling, and process

You are a good fit if you:

• Have 4+ years of experience developing highly scalable, distributed applications and services
• Have strong hands-on programming experience in either Java, Python, C++, C# or Go
• Note: Languages/Tools can be learned. We care more about solid foundational engineering skills rather than a particular language or framework
• Have experience building REST APIs, RPCs, SQL/No-SQL Databases, Kafka, data pipelines and streaming systems
• Have experience deploying and scaling services on K8s, cloud computing platforms like AWS, GCP, etc
• Enjoy building distributed/scalable backend infrastructure with a microservices-first design
• Hold yourself to a very high bar for production system quality
• Love to demonstrate, and incrementally build 100% confidence in all the layers/components you develop.
• Have a deep sense of appreciation for test-driven methodology
• Love driving projects end-to-end to deliver business and are unafraid of the unknowns
• ALWAYS take a customer-first and team-first approach
• It’s a huge plus if you have prior experience with authentication and authorization standards, protocols and technologies, e.g. OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, RBAC, ABAC, ACLs, etc.
