About the role

  • Private Access lets enterprise customers reach internal applications - RDP, SSH, web - without exposing those apps to the public internet and without a traditional VPN.
  • This is a hands-on engineering role with architectural scope.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement features across the Connector, the Relay, and the Controller services that drive them.
  • Own one or more Controller microservices end to end (rule engine, geolocation, event workers, proxy paths, connector management).
  • Write architecture proposals and design documents
  • drive them through review with peers and the team's architect.
  • Investigate complex production support cases - the ones that require domain expertise about a customer's environment, an interop quirk, or proposing a different approach to their problem.
  • Write architecture proposals and design documents; drive them through review with peers and the team's architect.
  • TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk.
  • At TrendAI™, we're always seeking exceptional talent; people who want to collaborate with the best and push boundaries together.
  • Here, your work goes beyond building a career.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience building production backend systems.
  • Strong proficiency in Go or an adjacent systems-leaning language (Rust, C++, or similar) and willingness to be polyglot in our stack (Go, Python, some C/C++).

Nice to have

  • Prior work on a ZTNA, SASE, SSE, VPN, or other network security product.
  • Distributed systems experience - consistency, retries, idempotency, and reasoning about partial failures across services and regions.
  • Production depth in Microsoft Azure (where our cloud services run).
  • AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) experience is a plus - the Relay also deploys to those clouds for regions where Azure isn't available.
  • Experience designing or operating an LLM-powered system in production (RAG, agentic workflows, or otherwise).
  • Track record of driving architectural decisions across multiple services and lifting peers along the way.
  • Why Join TrendAI?
  • TrendAI is a leader in AI security.

Skills

  • Systems thinking - catch failure modes (latency, cost, drift, silent failures) before they reach production.
  • Operational instinct - when something looks off in production, reach for metrics, profiling, and autoscaling without waiting for an SRE.
  • The product runs across many global cloud regions to meet customer compliance and latency needs.
  • The skills that matter most:

Compensation

  • 14 Annual Holidays

Benefits

  • TrendAI provides benefit options for you and your family.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Short & Long Term Disability
  • Pre-partum, maternity, parental and medical leave
  • Mental Health Wellness Program
  • Wellness Incentive
  • Tuition Assistance

Company info

  • shape what gets autonomous, where humans gate, and what validation is non-negotiable for a security product.
  • Domain expertise - understand (or be ready to learn) our customers' environments, the problems they bring us, and the operational realities that aren't in any spec.
  • We're moving in the same direction as the rest of the industry: engineers no longer just write code; we design the systems that produce it.
