We Are Praetorian
Praetorian is defined by raw intensity, fearless candor, and a relentless drive. This is who we are.
We are looking for high-performing, mission-aligned individuals. We prioritize performance over politics and purpose over transaction. This environment is built for those who seek ownership and impact.
Is Praetorian the right fit for you? If you are someone who obsesses over the problem, defaults to open communication, and wants to work with a team that refuses to accept mediocrity—then you have found your home.
The Mission
Praetorian is an expert-driven offensive security company. Our mission is to prevent breaches before they occur. We help organizations shift from an "assume breach" mentality to adopting offensive security as a core strategy of prevention.
We don’t just find bugs; we solve the root cause. We are building a future without compromise, and we need people who run toward the fire.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a Software Engineer who operates with clear ownership. You’re not just filling a seat. You’re setting the standard. You believe great execution brings strategy to life.
How You Operate
You bring mission-driven grit to every challenge, running toward hard problems rather than away from them. You prioritize customer outcomes over internal processes. You choose truth and clarity over performative politeness. We look for builders with a bias for action – people who own the fix when things break, share credit with the team, and possess the intellectual humility to care more about getting to the right answer than being right.
What You Will Own
- Own the Outcome: Build and ship features across the full stack of the Praetorian Guard platform, from the Go serverless backend to a React frontend used by security teams daily. You own it from design through production operations.
- Take Accountability: Owning the outcome means taking accountability to overcome the challenges in developing and operating the Praetorian Guard platform.
- Raise the Bar: Write code that is clear, tested, and built to last. Push the team's engineering standards forward through code review, technical proposals, and leading by example.
- Drive Impact: Work directly with offensive security engineers to translate real-world vulnerability findings into platform capabilities. Your code doesn't just run, it scales the impact of every security engineer on the team.
- Scale the Platform: Design systems that handle the complexity of attack surface management at scale: graph databases modeling millions of asset relationships, queue-based architectures processing continuous security scans, and real-time interfaces that make complex data actionable.
What You Bring
- The Foundation: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics, backed by 0–5 years of experience in cybersecurity, startups, or tech companies.
- Backend Fluency: You write Go that is idiomatic, testable, and production-ready. You understand serverless architectures, API design, and working with databases under real load.
- Systems Thinking: You reason about distributed systems, concurrency, failure modes, and data flow. You don't just write the function—you think about what happens when it's called ten thousand times a second.
- Frontend Ability: You apply software engineering principles to guide AI agents to build responsive, performant UI in maintainable code. You care deeply about the final user experience and do not stop iterating until it is right.
- Builder's Instinct: You have side projects, open-source contributions, or technical writing that shows you build because you want to, not because someone told you to. You've shipped something real outside of a classroom.
If This Position Is Wildly Successful, In One Year You Will Have:
- Shipped major features across the Guard platform that security teams rely on daily
- Built infrastructure that scales, such as queue-based scanning pipelines, graph query optimization, and AWS serverless architecture.
- Written code that your teammates trust: clean and well-tested. Your pull requests raise the bar and your reviews make the people around you sharper
- Integrated AI tooling into your development workflow, moving fast in complex systems without sacrificing quality or understanding
- Honed your product skills by turning high-level requests into practical features that real customers rely on and generate delights.
- Demonstrated ownership across the full stack, from CloudFormation templates and Lambda handlers to React components and Playwright tests, not because you were told to, but because the problem demanded it
- Closed the gap between field findings and platform capabilities by partnering with offensive security engineers to translate recurring vulnerability patterns into automated detections that multiply the team's impact
- Contributed to Praetorian's engineering culture through technical blog posts, internal knowledge sharing, or open-source contributions that reflect the depth of what we're building
- Mentored junior engineers and contributed to a culture of continuous learning, raising the technical floor across the team through your example and your investment in the people around you
Why Praetorian?
We offer a culture built on high performance and deep ownership.
- Elite Talent: Work alongside the top 1% of the industry—composed exclusively of high performers who raise the bar.
- Our DNA: We are defined by action, grit, and uncompromising transparency. We move fast, take on hard problems, and choose clarity over comfort—because that’s how meaningful work gets done.
- Impact: Your work directly protects the world's most critical organizations.

Join us on our mission to empower more people to find their way home by breaking barriers to entry, making the right connections, and building confidence through expert guidance.
About the Role
Realtor.com is looking for a Director of Engineering, Consumer Enablement to lead the platform and enablement organization that powers all consumer-facing web and mobile experiences. This is a high-impact engineering leadership role responsible for three core pillars: Web & Mobile Platforms, Consumer Services, and Quality Enablement — the foundational systems and tooling that every consumer product team at Realtor.com builds on.
You will lead a multi-team org of ~40 engineers (FTE + contractors), managing senior engineering managers and staff engineers across web platform, mobile platform, component systems, backend services, and quality engineering. You'll report to the VP of Consumer Engineering.
This role is equal parts technical depth and organizational influence. You're not shipping features — you're building the paved path that lets dozens of engineers ship faster, safer, and with higher quality.
What You'll Do
Platform Strategy & Execution
- Own the technical roadmap for web and mobile platform infrastructure, including the MFE architecture (web-islands), CI/CD pipelines, React Router 7 migration (Project Oracle), and headless CMS platform
- Drive the next evolution of Realtor.com's design system (rdc-ui V4: Panda CSS migration) and component ecosystem used across 41 codebases
- Lead the decomposition of legacy monolithic services (Hestia) and the transition to domain-owned GraphQL subgraphs via Pantheon federation
Engineering Enablement
- Define and deliver the "paved path" — standardized patterns, tooling, and guardrails that reduce cognitive load for 100+ consumer engineers
- Own DORA metrics for the org
- Partner with stream-aligned teams (Buyers & Sellers, Search, Personalization, New Homes, Rentals, Mobile squads) as an internal platform provider
Quality at Scale
- Evolve the quality enablement model — shifting quality left through automation, AI tooling, and developer-owned testing
- Oversee the testing pyramid: reducing E2E test reliance, scaling Playwright frameworks, and rolling out the AI Quality Toolkit
Cloud Cost & FinOps
- Own the engineering cost envelope for Consumer Enablement — AWS spend, CircleCI credits, and third-party tooling budgets
- Partner with FinOps and infrastructure teams to instrument cost attribution, identify rightsizing opportunities, and enforce cost-aware development practices across the paved path
- Establish unit cost baselines for key platform operations (e.g., cost-per-deploy, cost-per-test-run) and drive measurable efficiency improvements quarter over quarter
People & Organization
- Lead and develop 3 senior engineering managers and multiple staff engineers across 7 sub-teams
- Create clear career frameworks and growth paths that retain top engineers and set expectations at every level
- Build inclusive team cultures with high psychological safety — where engineers do their best work, managers are effective coaches, and feedback flows in all directions
- Drive hiring rigor: define role profiles, calibrate leveling, and make high-quality talent decisions in partnership with recruiting
- Manage headcount planning, contractor-to-FTE ratios, and capacity allocation across competing priorities in a lean org
AI Strategy & Developer Enablement
- Partner with engineering managers to embed AI practices into daily workflows — code review, documentation, incident response, sprint planning
- Represent the Consumer Engineering perspective in AI investment decisions: what to build internally, what to buy, and what to deprecate
What We're Looking For
Required
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with at least 5 years leading engineering teams, including managing managers
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
- Demonstrated experience owning platform, infrastructure, or developer tooling organizations — not just product delivery teams
- Deep understanding of modern frontend architecture: micro-frontends, component systems, React, TypeScript, CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with backend GraphQL/API services and federated architecture patterns
- Strong track record of improving engineering velocity and developer experience at scale (DORA metrics, lead time, deployment frequency)
- Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management — able to influence without authority, represent platform value to product and business leaders, and navigate competing priorities across multiple stream-aligned teams
Preferred
- Experience with AI developer tooling strategy: evaluating, deploying, and driving adoption of AI-assisted development tools across an engineering organization
- Hands-on background with FinOps practices: cloud cost attribution, unit economics for platform operations, CI/CD spend optimization, and engineering budget ownership
- Experience with mobile platform engineering (iOS/Android release processes, CircleCI, React Native or native)
- Familiarity with Apollo Federation, GraphQL schema governance, and Pantheon-style API gateway patterns
- Background in quality engineering transformation — shifting from manual QA models to developer-owned quality
- Experience with headless CMS platforms and content-driven architecture
- Familiarity with AWS infrastructure (EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFront, ArgoCD)
Tech Stack You'll Own
React · TypeScript · Node.js · GraphQL (Apollo Federation) · NestJS · Swift · Kotlin · AWS (EKS/Lambda/DynamoDB) · CircleCI · ArgoCD · Playwright · Panda CSS · styled-components · New Relic · Splunk
Why This Role
- Org-wide leverage: Everything consumer runs on what this team builds. Your decisions affect 100+ engineers daily
- Clear technical vision: Active initiatives with real momentum — Oracle, CMS, rdc-ui V4, Hestia decomposition — not greenfield ambiguity
- AI-forward culture: The org is actively building and deploying AI-powered tooling with 100% AI adoption as a company goal
- Senior team: You'll work alongside Staff and Sr. Staff engineers who are already deep domain experts
- Real ownership: Full responsibility over people, platform roadmap, and cost envelope — not a coordinator role
What You'll Do:
- Engineer End-to-End Solutions: Design and develop scalable, responsive web applications using React and Node.js/Python that simplify complex enterprise workflows.
- Architect Micro-Frontends: Implement modern frontend architectures that integrate seamlessly with our Salesforce ecosystem and internal microservices.
- Optimize Data Pipelines: Build and maintain high-throughput APIs and event-driven services (using Kafka or AWS EventBridge) that power real-time business dashboards.
- Embed Intelligence: Integrate Generative AI and machine learning models directly into the UI to provide predictive insights and automated task suggestions for our users.
- Champion Quality & DevOps: Drive the adoption of "Shift-Left" testing, CI/CD automation, and observability tools to ensure our enterprise tools are as resilient as our consumer-facing products.
- Collaborate & Mentor: Partner with Product Managers and UX Designers to translate business requirements into technical reality, while mentoring mid-level engineers through code reviews and pair programming.
What You'll Bring:
- Full Stack Mastery: 8+ years of professional experience building and scaling production-grade applications using modern frameworks like React/Next.js and Node.js, Go, Python or Java.
- System Design Fluency: Deep understanding of distributed systems, REST/GraphQL API design, and how to optimize for performance across the entire stack.
- Cloud-Native Mindset: Hands-on experience with AWS (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) in a CI/CD environment.
- Database Expertise: Proficiency with both relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL solutions, including experience handling large-scale data migrations.
- Modern Web Expertise: Strong command of CSS-in-JS, TypeScript, and state management libraries (Redux/Zustand), with a focus on accessibility and performance.
- Agile Leadership: Proven ability to lead features from conception to deployment in an Agile/Scrum environment, making pragmatic trade-offs between speed and technical debt.
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
