Our ambition is to move cybersecurity away from reactive, human-dependent workflows and toward continuous, intelligent, autonomous security. We design systems that combine human judgment where it matters with fully autonomous decision-making where speed, scale, and precision are required. We make a strict distinction between automation and autonomy. CYBRET AI does not rely on static rules or predefined playbooks. We build systems that understand context, reason over attack surfaces and exposure, assess real-world consequences, and take risk-based decisions. Our primary focus is **Exposure and Vulnerability Management as a decision system**, not a reporting layer. ## About the Role This is a **senior backend engineering role** with real ownership over core systems. As a Senior Backend Engineer at CYBRET AI, you will design and build the services, data pipelines, and APIs that power autonomous security reasoning. Your work will directly affect system reliability, performance, and the correctness of security decisions. You will work closely with AI engineers, security engineers, and product to turn complex security and AI logic into robust, production-grade backend systems. ## Responsibilities ### Backend Systems & APIs Design, build, and maintain core backend services and APIs Implement scalable, secure, and well-structured backend architectures Own services end-to-end from design and implementation to production and iteration ### Data & Distributed Systems Build and operate data pipelines for security signals, exposure data, and reasoning outputs Work with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous processing Ensure correctness, consistency, and performance at scale ### Reliability & Security Design for fault tolerance, observability, and operational excellence Implement logging, metrics, tracing, and monitoring Ensure backend systems follow strong security and data-protection practices ### Collaboration & Technical Leadership Collaborate closely with AI, security, and product teams Translate product and reasoning requirements into clean backend implementations Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term technical strategy Mentor engineers and raise backend engineering standards ## What We’re Looking For Strong experience as a senior backend engineer in production environments Excellent software engineering fundamentals and system design skills Experience building distributed systems and high-throughput APIs Strong ownership mindset and ability to operate independently Experience with cloud platforms, security-critical systems, or data-intensive products is a strong plus, but not required. ## How We Work CYBRET AI operates fully remote.
