Lead AI Software Engineer

Finite State partners with product security teams, the guardians of our connected world, to create transparency for their connected devices and supply chains. Our platform handles connected devices and embedded systems across all industries, including those found in enterprises, healthcare, utilities, connected vehicles, manufacturing facilities, critical infrastructure, and government entities. We are a fast-growing series-B company with a fully distributed workforce.

Led by a team of seasoned experts, we are a mission-driven team passionate about arming our customers with the actionable insights, critical vulnerability data, and remediation guidance necessary to mitigate product risk and protect the connected attack surface. We are committed to a remote first culture. js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL/Supabase, and AI-assisted development to design, build, and deliver the scalable, secure systems behind our cybersecurity platform.

What You’Ll Do

js/React, TypeScript, and Node – backed by PostgreSQL on Supabase (and AWS RDS during migration). Own features end-to-end from UI to database. Database-Centric Application Logic: Design and implement business logic close to the data using Postgres functions, views, triggers, Row-Level Security (RLS), and Supabase Edge Functions, minimizing unnecessary middleware and enabling high performance and strong data isolation.

AI-Accelerated Development: Treat tools like Cursor, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and agent frameworks as core parts of your workflow. You'll use them to scaffold and refactor full-stack features, generate and evolve schemas, migrations, and RLS policies and build internal agents that automate repetitive engineering tasks and glue systems together Application Security First: Embed security best practices into every layer of development — from secure coding and dependency management to data protection and authentication/authorization (Supabase Auth, OAuth2/OIDC, SSO). Collaborate with security researchers to ensure features align with threat models.

Product Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with product managers and designers to translate customer pain points into impactful, intuitive features. Participate in product discovery and help shape roadmaps with a strong technical and data-informed perspective. js (server components, API routes) and Supabase (Edge Functions, real-time).

Consider performance, resiliency, and multi-region deployment (read replicas, data partitioning) as first-class concerns. Data Expertise: Model and optimize relational data in PostgreSQL for large, multi-tenant workloads. Own indexing strategies, query performance, and data partitioning approaches to support 10x–30x growth in customers and data.

Security-Integrated DevOps: Support automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, database migrations, and vulnerability scanning throughout the development lifecycle. Work closely with infrastructure engineers on Supabase + AWS environments, observability, and performance tuning. Mentorship Collaboration: Provide guidance and thoughtful code reviews to peers, fostering a culture of quality, security, and ownership.

Help raise the bar on full-stack, data-centric, and AI-native engineering practices.
