Job Description

• Design and implement infrastructure systems that scale reliably and securely, and can be deployed across multiple cloud environments (AWS, Azure, OCI etc.) and contexts (SaaS, on prem). • Tune and optimize cloud services across compute, storage, networking, and observability to drive performance, reliability and maintainability of core services. • Develop our core services, written in TypeScript, Kotlin and Go (and pick them up quickly if you haven’t used them before) to support our unique deployment and infrastructure requirements. • Support large-scale systems with event driven architectures. • Own problems end-to-end—from design through deployment to production support • Navigate ambiguity and help define *how* we build as much as *what* we build • Partner closely with other engineers, AI researchers and Security researchers to enable high-quality, high-velocity product development • Design for resilience by implementing disaster recovery and business continuity strategies that ensure uptime, even when things break • Improve how we build, deploy, and monitor services at scale

Job Requirements

  • Strong experience building and operating scalable, distributed systems on cloud infrastructure such as AWS or similar.
  • Comfortable working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CDK) and see infra as part of the engineering system—not something separate from it.
  • A track record of performance tuning across cloud services, databases, and compute layers
  • Eager to learn new tools, languages, and technologies as needed
  • A thoughtful communicator who values clarity and simplicity and is comfortable working in a fast-paced startup and navigating ambiguity
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with incomplete information
  • Curious, practical, and eager to work across layers of the stack when needed
  • You think proactively about failure modes and bring experience implementing disaster recovery and business continuity plans that keep critical systems running.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and a generous equity package, making you a true owner of the company.
  • Career Growth: Shape your role, lead the function, and grow with the company as we redefine cybersecurity.
  • Meaningful Work: You will tackle technically complex challenges and play a pivotal role in the growth of our business, working alongside an amazing team and some of the world’s experts to shape how AI transforms cybersecurity.
