Kharon is a highly disruptive and incredibly innovative organization that navigates risk at the intersection of global security threats + international commerce.

What does that mean? Great question.

Operating at the nexus of global security, Kharon is on a mission to revolutionize the current landscape. We take really complex data as it relates to global security and empower our clients to not only understand the risk associated with their potential business relationships but to operationalize that data so that they can make the best and most informed decisions possible. From financial crimes and sanctions to export controls and threat identifications, our tools optimize protection against the types of risks that could otherwise be incredibly dangerous and excessively costly to any business. Serving many of today’s leading global financial and multinational institutions, Kharon products are the most powerful in the space with a precision and depth that is absolutely unparalleled.

When you look at any major global crisis event, we’re providing intelligence that’s at the heart of those circumstances. We connect the dots in a way that’s meaningful. Now, we’re experiencing unprecedented growth. As the world continues to evolve in complexity, so too does the demand for our products. Given the significance of our work and the increasing global reliance on our insights, we are looking for an Sr. Software Engineer to join us as we work to shape the way businesses perceive and navigate global risks.

Leading the development and deployment of pivotal Kharon product features, this role will be critical to ensuring alignment with the entire development lifecycle and Kharon’s strategic objectives. Demonstrating leadership and technical acumen, this role is not just about maintaining what exists; it offers the chance to own significant, strategic projects that propel Kharon’s engineering and product endeavors forward. Under the guidance of the SVP of Engineering, your influence will extend beyond product development — you'll be instrumental in scaling our engineering prowess itself.

Responsible for ensuring that our product development is seamlessly integrated with Kharon's strategic vision, you will be at the helm of architectural decisions and making sure that our systems are not only scalable and robust but also perfectly aligned with our overarching goals. By spearheading collaborations across the engineering, design, and product management teams, you'll reinforce our efforts to be cohesive and strategically aligned. Your engagement in the Agile development lifecycle and your dedication to crafting exemplary code will underscore our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in an ever-evolving tech landscape.

In this role, your mentorship will shape our engineering culture, promoting a learning-centric environment that catalyzes professional growth and innovation.

To the right person, this will be the perfect kind of challenge. Our mission is compelling, our product is powerful and we’re growing at a rate that makes us unstoppable. If you’re looking to be surrounded by people who will inspire you to think and challenge you to grow then look no further. Our team is made up of some of the most visionary and uncompromising individuals you will ever encounter. We don’t take ourselves seriously but we’re serious about the work we do and there is absolutely no slowing us down.

To keep that momentum going, we do our very best to make sure that each and every team member is completely taken care of. We’re nothing without our people and we strive to offer a package that reflects that. As a Kharon team member, you can expect:

Fully sponsored medical, dental, and vision
FSA program for both medical and dependent care
401k with matching and immediate vesting + ROTH IRA
