About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Backend Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience to help build and evolve this product. Strong hands-on experience with Go (Golang) is a must. You’ll be an early contributor to a new and rapidly evolving product area, working on complex backend and security challenges at significant scale while having meaningful input into the architecture.
What you’ll do
Design, extend, and optimize large-scale, highly scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems processing billions of events from hundreds of thousands of endpoints in real time, with sub-second latency requirements.
Build security capabilities that protect sensitive customer data as it flows into and out of LLMs, GenAI applications, AI tools, and agents.
Contribute to the architecture and evolution of Cyberhaven’s AI Security platform.
Solve real-world scaling and distributed systems problems through performance analysis, profiling, optimization, and troubleshooting.
Build and ship production backend services using Go (Golang).
Work with a modern microservices-based stack including Go, Kubernetes, BigTable, BigQuery, Spanner, Redis, Docker, and Etcd.
Build integrations and connectors at the API level with SaaS and AI platforms commonly used in enterprises, including GenAI and LLM-based applications.
Write secure-by-design, hardened software that can withstand real-world attacks while processing untrusted data and communicating with hundreds of thousands of endpoints over the internet.
Collaborate closely with engineers, product teams, and distributed teams across India, Europe, and the US.
Who you are
You have 4+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building backend systems that are actively used at scale.
You have strong hands-on experience with Go (Golang) and have built and shipped production backend services using Go.
You have experience building and operating distributed systems, microservices, and Kubernetes-based applications in production.
You have worked with databases at significant scale. Experience with GCP services such as BigTable, BigQuery, or Spanner is a plus.
You have experience profiling, troubleshooting, and optimizing distributed applications that use large databases, event streams, or streaming platforms.
Experience building API-level integrations or connectors with enterprise SaaS applications is a plus. Experience with AI/LLM platforms is especially relevant.
You understand the importance of reliability, performance, and security when building systems that process large volumes of sensitive or untrusted data.
You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and are comfortable collaborating frequently with distributed teams in Europe and the US.
You thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy tackling ambiguous technical challenges, and like shipping with velocity.
You have a customer-centric mindset and value direct feedback from customers.
You are based in Bangalore.
