We are looking for a Director of Software Engineering (Web Security) to lead the development of our next-generation web security and networking solutions. This is a critical leadership role for an expert in web traffic filtering, security, and protection—someone who thrives on solving complex security challenges and driving innovation.
This is not just a hands-on engineering role; it’s an opportunity to shape our technology strategy, lead high-impact initiatives, and define how we protect web traffic at scale. You will work closely with the CTO, influencing key decisions on architecture, security, and product direction.
- Leading the design and development of our core web security and networking technologies.
- Driving innovation in web traffic filtering—developing new techniques to detect and mitigate modern threats.
- Owning the security architecture for high-performance, scalable systems that protect web traffic.
- Developing and optimizing integrations for Nginx, Apache, and other critical web infrastructure components.
- Mentoring and guiding engineers, fostering a security-first culture across the team.
- Making strategic technical decisions on languages, frameworks, and infrastructure—balancing security, performance, and scalability.
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with leadership in security-focused projects.
- Deep expertise in network and web security, including modern cyber threats and mitigation techniques.
- Strong programming skills in at least two of C++, Golang, and PHP.
- Extensive experience with Linux, networking protocols, and web infrastructure.
- Knowledge of cloud and database technologies (SQL, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Kubernetes).
- A proactive leader who defines what needs to be done and takes ownership.
- Strategic mindset—you don’t just write code, you make decisions that impact security at scale.
- Passion for web security and making the internet a safer place.
- Experience working in remote-first, asynchronous teams with strong communication skills.
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Fixing legacy code and drowning in technical debt—our focus is on building high-quality, modern security solutions.
- Following a rigid task list—you will define the roadmap and drive initiatives that push security innovation forward.
- Being a passive executor—this role is for a leader who takes initiative and makes things happen.
At Blackwall, we don’t just build software—we protect the internet. If you’re passionate about web security and want a leadership role where you can drive real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
We are striving to create a diverse and inclusive environment. We encourage all applicants to apply for our roles. We value and actively seek diverse talent!
