Job description

Software Engineer, Backend — Early-to-Mid Career

Redwood City, CA | Hybrid | $140K–$180K + Equity

We are hiring Backend Software Engineers to build security-focused integrations and custom detections that directly solve customer problems. You’ll write production code in Go, Python, or TypeScript, work directly with security teams, and turn customer insights into shipped product improvements.

Why Join Us?

  • $140K–$180K base + competitive equity

  • Hybrid: 3 days/week in Redwood City; 2 days remote

  • Ship production code from day one—not pre-sales or ticket triage

  • Direct access to the founding team

  • Build across security, insider risk, AI agents, IAM, DLP, and enterprise integrations

  • Work with technologies and integrations including Okta, CrowdStrike, and Slack

  • Opportunity to grow from early-career engineer or security analyst into a full engineering role

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–4 years of backend/software engineering experience

  • Strong coding ability in Go, Python, or TypeScript

  • Genuine interest or hands-on experience in cybersecurity

  • Experience with or strong interest in customer-facing technical work

  • Alternatively: SOC, Insider Threat, DLP, or IAM analysts with hands-on scripting/automation experience looking to transition into software engineering

  • Clear, structured spoken English and strong customer communication

  • Startup experience and customer-facing security experience are a plus

Important Requirements

  • Bay Area-based or willing to relocate

  • Able to work 3 days/week onsite in Redwood City

  • Occasional customer-site travel required

  • No visa sponsorship available — US Citizens and Green Card holders only

  • This is a junior/early-career engineering role, not a senior FDE or pre-sales position.

Apply if you want to write real security software, work directly with customers, and see your code influence the product quickly.
