We’re passionate about creating products that bridge AI and cybersecurity - enabling enterprises to detect, respond, and adapt faster than ever before. About the Role We're hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to architect and scale the infrastructure behind our AI-powered security platform. You’ll take ownership of our backend systems from day one; designing core APIs, orchestrating the data pipeline, building scalable services, and implementing high-performance integrations. This is a founding-level role, giving you the opportunity to define our backend architecture, influence product strategy, and build the foundation of a platform that redefines cybersecurity. You’ll work closely with AI researchers, product engineers, and infrastructure specialists - building high-performance services that connect our AI models, frontend systems, and cloud infrastructure. This role requires deep technical skill and a builder’s mindset: a rare opportunity to shape a security product from the ground up. If you’re passionate about technology, thrive in a dynamic environment, and want to help shape the future of cybersecurity - we’d love to meet you. Responsibilities Design and implement the core backend services that power our AI-driven cybersecurity platform. Build secure, robust, and scalable APIs that integrate with frontend and data pipelines. Architect distributed systems that handle large-scale, real-time data processing. Set and uphold high standards for code quality, system reliability, and observability. Collaborate with researchers and engineers to translate new ideas into production-ready systems. Optimize performance and resource utilization across AI and security workloads. Help define engineering best practices, technical direction, and overall system architecture. Requirements 5+ years of experience as a backend or infrastructure engineer, ideally in a startup or fast-scaling environment. Deep understanding of system scalability and performance, including tradeoffs between latency, throughput, and reliability. Strong proficiency in Go, with hands-on experience designing GraphQL and distributed systems. Expert with Docker, Kubernetes, and microservice orchestration. Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, and modern CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices. Background in cybersecurity - building secure systems, internal tools, or developer workflows. Proven experience in early-stage environments, taking systems from concept to production. Bonus Points Experience or familiarity with DevOps infrastructure, tools, and workflows (CI/CD pipelines, observability, and deployment automation) What We Offer The chance to shape the architecture and technical foundations of a cutting-edge cybersecurity platform. A collaborative, curious, and fast-paced environment where innovation thrives. Opportunities for professional growth and leadership as we scale. Competitive compensation and the excitement of being part of a company from its earliest days.
