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.
