FOUNDING PRODUCT ENGINEER (Front End)

Some companies hire engineers to build products.We’re looking for builders who want to help redefine an industry.For more than two decades, security operations have relied on one fundamental assumption: people sit at the centre of every important decision.They investigate alerts.They correlate information.They determine risk.They decide what action should be taken.Artificial intelligence is changing that assumption forever.AI is rapidly becoming capable of detecting, investigating and responding to threats faster than any human team ever could. But autonomy introduces an entirely new challenge.How do you trust software to make decisions when the consequences of getting it wrong are measured in production outages, business disruption or reputational damage?That’s the problem we’re solving.At getsoteria.ai, we’re building the governance platform for autonomous security operations—a new category of software designed for an AI-native world. Our technology enables AI to act only when it is safe, explainable and accountable to do so.We’re not building another security dashboard.We’re not building another SOC platform.We’re helping define what security operations will look like over the next decade.If building something genuinely new excites you, we’d love to meet you.Why This Role MattersThis isn’t a role where you’ll inherit somebody else’s product.You’ll help define it.You’ll influence every interaction customers have with getsoteria.ai—from their very first login through to the moments they rely on the platform to help protect their organisation.You’ll help answer questions like:•   How do we make incredibly sophisticated technology feel intuitive?•   How do we help customers understand complex decisions in seconds?•   How do we build trust into every interaction?•   How do we create software people genuinely enjoy using?The decisions you make won’t simply shape our first release.They’ll influence how future engineers, designers and customers think about our product for years to come.That’s a rare opportunity.What You’ll Be BuildingAs our Founding Product Engineer, you’ll help create the customer experience from the ground up.You’ll work directly with the founders to design, build and continually improve every part of the product experience.Your work will include:•   Designing and building modern customer-facing applications.•   Turning technically complex workflows into simple, intuitive experiences.•   Creating visual interfaces that help people understand difficult decisions with confidence.•   Building reusable design systems that allow the product to scale elegantly.•   Working closely with engineering to ensure the experience remains fast, responsive and delightful.•   Helping establish the product quality, engineering standards and craftsmanship future teams inherit.You’ll have genuine influence over both product direction and engineering decisions.What We’re Looking ForWe’re far more interested in how you think than exactly where you’ve worked.You’re someone who:•   Enjoys turning difficult problems into elegant experiences.•   Cares deeply about product quality and customer experience.•   Notices details other people overlook.•   Thinks visually and structurally.•   Enjoys collaborating with engineers, founders and customers.•   Loves creating products that people genuinely enjoy using.•   Challenges assumptions respectfully.•   Wants to help build a company-not simply join one.Experience That Will HelpYou’ll bring experience across several of these areas:•   Building and shipping modern customer-facing web applications to production.•   Creating intuitive interfaces for technically sophisticated products.•   Working with REST APIs, authentication flows and real-time data.•   Designing scalable component libraries and design systems.•   Product thinking and interaction design.•   Information architecture.•   Performance optimisation.•   Accessibility.•   Responsive application development.•   Working as part of small, high-performing engineering teams.You don’t need to tick every box.Exceptional people rarely do.If you’re excited by what we’re building, we’d still encourage you to apply.One more thing: a security background isn’t required.Domain experience helps, and it can come from adjacent fields: fintech, payments, healthcare, critical infrastructure, anywhere software carries real-world consequences.We’ll teach you the domain. Product judgement is the part we can’t teach.Engineering at getsoteria.aiWe believe software engineering is changing.The best engineers of the next decade won’t simply write more code.They’ll solve better problems.AI is already changing how software gets built, tested and maintained.We expect every engineer to continually explore how AI can improve engineering quality, accelerate learning and remove repetitive work.Our front end is built with TypeScript and React; you can see that in any browser’s dev tools.Beyond that, we keep our stack out of job ads. We’re a security company, and we’d rather show you the architecture during the interview than post it on the internet.We’re less interested in which tools you use than how you think about engineering itself.Technology evolves.Good judgement doesn’t.What Success Looks LikeSuccess here isn’t measured by how many pull requests you merge.It’s measured by the problems you solve.We believe great Product Engineers:•   Make difficult things feel simple.•   Improve systems without adding unnecessary complexity.•   Build trust through thoughtful design.•   Raise the quality bar for everyone around them.•   Care about customers as much as technology.•   Leave every product better than they found it.You’ll Probably Love Working Here If…•   You regularly ask, “There has to be a better way.”•   You enjoy building products from zero.•   You value evidence over ego.•   You care about craftsmanship.•   You want your work to have visible impact.Why Singapore?We’re intentionally building our founding engineering team together in Singapore.The earliest years of a company are different.Ideas become prototypes over coffee.Product decisions happen around whiteboards.Trust is built through shared experiences.We believe the speed, collaboration, and shared context that come from building side by side are among the greatest advantages an early-stage company can have.For that reason, our founding engineering team will be based in Singapore.Our Interview ProcessWe don’t believe interviews should be about memorising algorithms or solving artificial puzzles.We want to understand how you think.We’ll discuss interesting problems.We’ll explore product ideas together.You’ll challenge our thinking.We’ll challenge yours.If we both leave excited about what we could build together, that’s a very good sign.The Practical DetailsFull-time, based in Singapore. Hybrid; we work from home and co-working spaces, and get together in person when the work needs a whiteboard.Competitive salary and meaningful founding-team equity (you’ll own part of what you build).We’d rather talk numbers with you directly than publish a formula here.EligibilityApplicants must already be living in Singapore and be legally authorised to work here.This opportunity is currently open to:•   Singapore Citizens•   Singapore Permanent Residents•   Existing Employment Pass holders already based in SingaporeAt this stage we are not sponsoring international relocation or new Employment Pass applications.This Probably Isn’t For EveryoneIf you’re looking for somewhere comfortable…this isn’t it.If you’re looking to simply join another startup…this isn’t it either.But if you want to help build a company…shape the product…influence the engineering culture…and help redefine an industry…we’d love to hear from you.How to ApplyApply here on LinkedIn. Want to stand out? Skip the cover letter and email something you've built to careers@getsoteria.ai. Can be a product, a portfolio, a repo, anything you’re proud of and a few lines on why this problem interests youWe’re also hiring a Founding Platform Engineer. If you’d rather own the systems beneath the surface, that’s the one for you.
