Description
risks from AI code generation through cloud runtime by doing what conventional tools can’t: unifying development and cloud context to stop vulnerabilities right at the source. At OX, we’re building the future of cyber security for the AI era. If you’re looking to work on disruptive technology with an amazing team, you belong here.
We’re growing fast and looking for an AI-First Backend Engineer to join our Core Team and play a key role in building high-performance systems and scaling our core product architecture. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role where you’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Security Research teams, helping us deliver deep security value at scale. If you are a highly adaptable developer who naturally leverages AI tools to accelerate delivery and loves solving complex infrastructure challenges, we’d love to meet you
Responsibilities
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable backend infrastructure for our core security platform.
- Drive architecture and scalability enhancements to support high-throughput cloud runtime data and AI-driven workflows.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers and security researchers to translate complex security requirements into elegant code.
- Implement robust data pipelines and optimize application performance for maximum speed and scalability.
- Own end-to-end feature delivery, from initial design and development through to production deployment.
- Help us continuously improve engineering practices by introducing smart automation, robust testing, and clean code methodologies.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in backend software engineering within a fast-paced product company or startup environment.
- Strong proficiency in Python – deep understanding of its ecosystem, frameworks, and asynchronous programming.
- Polyglot Mindset – Proven experience working with at least two different programming languages in production environments, demonstrating deep technical agility.
- AI-First Approach – Active and proficient use of AI tools (e.g., Copilot, LLMs) to streamline coding practices, accelerate learning curves, and optimize workflows.
- Solid foundations in software design patterns, data structures, and microservices architecture.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work autonomously as part of a global, distributed team.
Bonus Points for :
- Experience in the cybersecurity, SaaS, or Cloud Security domain.
- Hands-on experience with modern cloud environments (AWS/GCP), Docker, and Kubernetes.
