🚀 Founding Engineer | AI x Cybersecurity | Stealth Startup

We're looking for a truly outstanding engineer to join the founding team of one of the most exciting stealth cybersecurity startups currently being built in Israel.

This opportunity is intended for top-tier engineers who thrive in early-stage startups, enjoy building products from scratch, and want to play a defining role in shaping both the technology and the company.

As one of the first engineers, you'll have end-to-end ownership and direct influence over the product, architecture, engineering culture, and technical direction from day one. Every technical decision you make will have a lasting impact on the company's future.

The company is building an AI-native cybersecurity platform tackling one of the biggest unsolved challenges in enterprise infrastructure. While still in stealth, the team is already working with global design partners, including some of the world's largest organizations, building for massive scale from the very beginning.

Backed by leading venture capital firms and surrounded by an exceptional ecosystem of founders, engineering leaders, and industry veterans behind some of Israel's most successful cybersecurity companies, this is a rare opportunity to join before the next stage of growth.

What makes this opportunity unique?

• One of the first engineering hires with exceptional ownership and influence.

• True end-to-end engineering across product, architecture, infrastructure, and production.

• Greenfield engineering, building systems, architecture, and engineering culture from scratch.

• Deep technical challenges spanning distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, AI, and large-scale

backend engineering.

• Work side by side with highly experienced founders who have built and scaled successful cybersecurity companies.

• AI is at the core of the product, not an add-on.

• Small, elite engineering team where every engineer has an outsized impact.

We're looking for engineers who:

• Have extensive experience building complex backend or distributed systems.

• Take ownership from idea to production.

• Are passionate about solving difficult engineering problems.

• Want to influence product and architecture, not just write code.

• Hold a degree from a leading university and/or are graduates of elite military technology units.

• Have previous founding, founding engineer, or technical leadership experience, which is a strong advantage.
