About Exeon

Exeon is a Swiss cyber security company based in Zurich. Since 2016, we have been protecting critical infrastructures, financial institutions and enterprises whose operations fully rely on IT through AI-powered analysis of network communication. This makes the most sophisticated cyberattacks visible – attacks conventional tools fail to detect. We combine Swiss excellence with a flexible, remote-first, and collaborative culture, supporting passionate, ambitious professionals devoted to solving cybersecurity challenges and driving continuous innovation.

What your impact will be like:

As senior Scala developer, you will be a core member of our backend guild and thus closely collaborate with the Exeon DEV team, jointly developing new features for our main NDR product. You will navigate general architecture decisions for new features and drive our continuous effort to improve upon our existing code base. You will work both hands-on on the implementation as well as define and refine architectural concepts for the whole team to allow for more easily maintainable and adaptable code in the future.

In particular, you will:

• Guide the backend team on architectural questions, both for new features and old code to be refactored

• Mentor backend team members on growth paths

• Actively develop our backend code and have an impact on not only the GUI of our NDR tool, but also on our analytics backend.

• Work closely together with the DEV team to develop new features, ensuring the continued success of Exeon.NDR.
