  • About the Role

    Join a lean, high-caliber core engineering team at a fast-growing AI-first startup in the physical security and critical event management space. The platform leverages agentic AI to monitor real-time threat signals — including 911 radio dispatch and social media OSINT — delivering verified, actionable alerts to enterprise security operations teams in seconds. Customers include Fortune 50 retailers, major utilities, and leading autonomous-vehicle companies.

    The company was founded by public-safety technology veterans, is backed by top-tier seed investors, and has crossed strong early revenue milestones with impressive customer retention. The core engineering team is small and intentional — this is a meaningful, high-ownership role.

    What You'll Do

    • Own core platform functionality end-to-end, from idea through production and polish

    • Design and build backend systems that power real-time threat intelligence ingestion, processing, and alerting

    • Develop and iterate on AI pipelines and agentic workflows

    • Build user-configured workflow systems that enable security operations teams to act quickly and precisely

    • Collaborate closely with a small, senior core team to ship features the industry hasn't seen before

    • Flex across engineering specialties as needed in an early-stage environment

    What We're Looking For

    Required:

    • Senior or Staff level backend engineering experience

    • 0→1 ownership experience — you've taken a large project or product feature from idea to polished delivery, end-to-end

    • Demonstrated ability to dive into different areas of engineering (flexibility is key on a lean team)

    • Based in the United States

    Nice to Have:

    • Experience building user-configured workflow or automation systems

    • Experience building AI pipelines or working with agentic systems

    • Early-stage startup experience

    • Eye for product design and UX

    Compensation & Benefits

    • Salary: $180,000 – $205,000 annually

    • Visa sponsorship available

    Location

    • Fully remote — open to candidates anywhere in the United States
