About the role
- This is a role for someone who sees infrastructure as a product, loves clean abstractions, and knows how to dig into performance issues across layers.
- You'll join a high-trust, high-velocity team where your work will have an immediate impact on both developer experience and product performance.
- If you like being at the intersection of deep tech and real-world impact, you'll feel right at home.
Responsibilities
- 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
- Strong experience building and operating scalable, distributed systems on cloud infrastructure such as AWS or similar.
Requirements
- Extensive experience with Containerisation and Orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker and Kubernetes).
- Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or async workflows (for example, using Kafka).
- A track record of performance tuning across cloud services, databases, and compute layers
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with incomplete information
- You think proactively about failure modes and bring experience implementing disaster recovery and business continuity plans that keep critical systems running.
- Experience with deploying infrastructure to multiple environments (SaaS, on-prem) and know how to build resilient systems that handle the complexity of such environments.
- Experience working in an early stage startup
- Hands-on experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch at scale
Compensation
- Competitive salary and a generous equity package, making you a true owner of the company.

Company info
- Shape your role, lead the function, and grow with the company as we redefine cybersecurity.
- Comfortable working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CDK) and see infra as part of the engineering system-not something separate from it.
- Attackers are already using AI to move faster than defenders can react-we're creating the platform that puts security ahead in the arms race.
- Founded by Oege de Moor, creator of GitHub Copilot, and backed by Sequoia, Altimeter, and other leading investors, XBOW is applying cutting-edge AI to one of the world's most urgent problems.
- Even if you don't check every box, we encourage you to apply if you're excited about the role and our mission.
