Responsibilities
- Lead design of scalable backend systems for our AI-native cybersecurity platform.
- Drive complex technical initiatives from 0→1, including system design, technical strategy, implementation, and operationalization.

- Lead design discussions and provide technical leadership across multiple engineering domains and initiatives.
- Mentor engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and hands-on collaboration.
- 15+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production-grade distributed systems.
- Proven experience leading the design and delivery of large-scale, highly available cloud-native systems.
- Strong system design expertise, including distributed systems, APIs, event-driven architectures, data-intensive applications, and infrastructure scalability.
- You'll lead system design, drive complex technical initiatives from concept to production, and mentor engineers across the organization.
Requirements
- Experience leading complex technical projects with significant ambiguity and cross-functional coordination.
- Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages such as Rust, Python, TypeScript, or Go.

Nice to have

- Experience designing multi-tenant SaaS platforms at scale.
- Familiarity with real-time data pipelines, streaming systems, and large-scale telemetry processing.
- Experience working in high-growth startup environments.
- 7AI is the foundational AI security company.
- Our platform pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents that detect, investigate, respond, and hunt, plus dedicated threat hunting and threat intelligence, with humans on the loop.
- That's the appeal:
- you'll join at a pivotal stage where your work shapes what 7AI becomes, alongside security veterans who've built this before.
