About the company

We’re working with a Series A–backed company operating at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, focused on enterprise-scale vulnerability management. Already partnering with large global enterprises and Fortune 100 design partners, the business is gaining strong market traction in a highly security-critical domain.

Their core product is an AI-agent–led platform that automates expert security workflows, helping organisations identify and reduce risk before vulnerabilities turn into breaches. The company is scaling quickly, with a clear need to build robust, high-performance infrastructure to support continued growth.

About the role

You’ll build the data engine behind an AI-native cybersecurity platform, owning the end-to-end data lifecycle from ingestion through to processing and storage. The role involves designing and operating production-grade data systems capable of handling massive volumes of enterprise security data in minutes, not hours.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on solving hard problems around scale, performance, and reliability as the platform expands across complex, large-scale enterprise environments. You’ll have meaningful ownership over system design and play a key role in shaping how the data platform evolves as the company grows.

Perks:

  • Fully remote working
  • Early-stage, Series A–backed environment
  • High ownership and technical autonomy
  • Competitive salary with meaningful equity
  • Opportunity to build core systems from scratch
  • Strong technical and career growth potential

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 4+ years focused on data engineering
  • Strong production experience building and operating large-scale data pipelines
  • Advanced Python skills
  • Hands-on experience with Apache Kafka and Apache Spark
  • Proven experience designing and operating AWS-based data infrastructure (e.g. S3, EMR, data lakes)
  • Experience working with distributed data systems and high-volume, enterprise-scale datasets
  • Hands-on mindset with end-to-end ownership of systems in production
