About the Role

We’re seeking a seasoned backend engineer to help architect and build core infrastructure. You’ll be part of a small, highly technical team working on novel approaches to secure systems — with an emphasis on cryptography, automation, and AI-powered analysis. This is a high-impact role where thoughtful design, clean abstractions, and system reliability matter deeply.

Day to Day

• Build and maintain high-performance backend services to ingest telemetry, orchestrate analysis, and support remediation workflows
• Design internal APIs and gRPC/REST interfaces for coordination between distributed agents, front-end systems, and external integrations
• Model and persist system state, cryptographic metadata, and remediation context using scalable storage and indexing strategies
• Collaborate closely with AI engineers on inference infrastructure and LLM integration patterns
• Define service-level objectives (SLOs), instrument observability metrics, and ensure fault tolerance under edge conditions
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, security reviews, and deployment automation for fast, safe iteration
• Engage in design discussions across the stack to help shape foundational architecture decisions

What You Bring to the Table

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience with strong system design and coding fundamentals
• Deep fluency in modern backend development (e.g., TypeScript with Node.js/NestJS, or Go/Python if appropriate)
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, API ergonomics, and architectural tradeoffs
• Familiarity with authentication protocols, cryptographic primitives, and secure data handling practices
• Experience with event-driven architecture, stream processing, or telemetry ingestion pipelines
• Proficiency in designing and evolving data models and working with document or time-series databases
• A bias toward clean abstractions, thoughtful naming, and maintainability under iteration pressure
• Ability to thrive in high-trust, ambiguity-rich environments with strong ownership and product sensibility

Extra Credit

• Prior work in infosec, vulnerability management, or cryptographic systems
• Hands-on experience with TypeScript frameworks like NestJS or tRPC
• Familiarity with large language models, inference APIs, and agent execution frameworks
• Background in devops, platform reliability, or security tooling
• Contributions to open-source backend projects or developer tooling
