About the Role

We are seeking a talented Senior Backend Engineer to join our Research & Development team at ThreatAware. In this pivotal role, you will collaborate directly with our CTO to develop the next generation of our platform. You will empower security teams to create AI-driven workflows, automate critical decisions, and interact with their data in innovative ways. This position involves profound backend development tasks, including designing abstractions, prototyping agent-based patterns, and transforming visionary ideas into real-world systems. If you're passionate about pushing boundaries in AI and cybersecurity, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Why Choose ThreatAware?

We are now embarking on a larger initiative. Building on six years of precise cyber asset data, we are integrating AI capabilities to offer security teams new avenues for data interrogation, workflow automation, and proactive risk management. You will play a central role in bringing this vision to life.

  • Design and develop the AI composition layer that drives the next chapter of ThreatAware.

  • Architect backend systems that facilitate the dynamic integration of data sources, AI reasoning, and automated security actions.

  • Create APIs, data models, and execution engines for complex, multi-step workflows, ensuring they are scalable, resilient, and observable.

  • Prototype and validate agentic patterns, including multi-agent collaboration and hierarchical reasoning, utilizing LLMs.

  • Ensure AI outputs are grounded in accurate cyber asset data by developing retrieval systems, validation checks, and confidence indicators.

  • Incorporate security as a fundamental aspect of your work, focusing on authentication, authorization, audit logging, and data protection.

What We Are Looking For

  • Extensive backend engineering experience in building large-scale, production systems with a strong emphasis on system design and architectural thinking.

  • Proficient in Python, TypeScript, or similar languages, with a solid track record in designing APIs, databases, and event-driven systems.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, including serverless architectures, messaging, and containerized services.

  • A strong interest in AI and LLMs, ideally with experience in integrating AI with backend systems or developing AI-native applications.
