About the Role:
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to contribute to a next-generation security initiative. You’ll be part of a small, highly technical team working on novel approaches to secure systems - with a focus on cryptography, automation, and AI-powered analysis. You’ll work closely with senior engineers and contribute hands-on to the codebase across the stack. This role involves hands-on development, learning opportunities, and collaboration across engineering, product, and design.

Day to Day:

• Contribute to the design, development, and delivery of features across the product

• Write clean, maintainable code for back-end systems deployed in AWS/GCP

• Collaborate with AI and cryptography specialists

• Work with the product manager to understand requirements and help the team plan architecture, data flows, API specs, and testing strategies

• Follow established engineering practices and participate in team discussions around process and quality

• Participate in customer-driven development and iterate based on feedback

• Write automated tests for load, performance, and error handling

What you bring to the table:

• 3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience for backend development

• Excellent TypeScript and Node.js coding experience

• AWS experience in containers (EKS, ECS) and serverless systems

• Relational, key/value, and graph datastore experience with schema management

• API design, data modeling, secure service development, database systems

• Has a focus on quality code, error handling, and high availability

• A thoughtful, pragmatic approach to solving technical problems in a fast-paced environment

• At least upper-intermediate level of spoken and written English

Extra Credit:

• Versed in Python coding and environments

• Experience with Bun and Express

• GitHub Actions and IaC

• Experience with GCP systems

• Experience with applied cryptography, especially key management, TLS, or post-quantum algorithms

• Familiarity with agent-based architectures or systems that scan and orchestrate actions across distributed environments

• Knowledge of AI/ML systems, particularly LLM integration or agent-style reasoning patterns

• Experience managing LLM agents to increase both speed and quality of code generation and tests

• Exposure to security tools, vulnerability detection platforms, or compliance automation

• Prior experience working on developer-facing or infrastructure-heavy products

Why Join Us?

• Professional Growth: Enhance your skills by collaborating closely with talented engineers and architects.

• Meaningful Impact: Help create software that protects millions of users from cybersecurity threats.

• Supportive Environment: Join a team dedicated to innovation, mentorship, and continuous learning.
