Job Description

The Role

We are building a real-time threat intelligence platform from the ground up. This is a zero-to-one initiative focused on streaming critical security data to enterprise teams at scale. As an SWE-2 on this team, you won't just be executing on a roadmap, you'll be helping us find the problems that aren't on it yet. We are looking for a backend engineer with a builder mindset who thrives in an environment where they can take ownership and help define the technical path forward.

What You Will Do

• Build & Scale: Develop and maintain high-performance backend services using Python or Golang.

• Stream Real-Time Data: Build and optimize streaming architectures to handle live threat intelligence with low latency.

• Search & Indexing: Implement and tune OpenSearch/Elasticsearch layers to ensure massive datasets are searchable and actionable.

• Define the "How": Take high-level goals and translate them into technical specs and clean, maintainable code.

• Cloud Ownership: Manage your own deployments and infrastructure within AWS/EKS.

• AI-Augmented Development: Use AI tools to speed up development cycles and automate routine backend tasks.

• Collaborative Innovation: Work closely with the team to identify architectural gaps and proactively suggest improvements.
