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.

  • 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.
