A well-funded, early-stage security data platform backed by top-tier VCs is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to help build some of the fastest, most scalable data infrastructure in the industry - systems that search petabytes of logs in seconds, process millions of documents a day, and push the limits of low-latency, high-throughput architecture.

• Solid grounding in databases, distributed systems, and data pipelines
• Someone who ships fast, thinks deeply, and cares about the quality of the end product

Additional Details:

• Salary up to $250k + meaningful equity at an early stage with serious VC backing
• Small team, outsized impact — you'll shape product direction from day one
• Hard problems at real scale with no bureaucracy slowing you down
