About the Role
Join a lean, high-output core engineering team at an AI-first startup building the next generation of physical threat intelligence and critical event management. The platform combines real-time AI-powered 911 radio monitoring with OSINT from major social networks to deliver verified, actionable threat alerts to enterprise security operations teams — in seconds. The company has strong early traction, meaningful ARR, and is backed by top-tier seed investors.
We're adding 1–2 Senior / Staff Backend Engineers to the core team. You'll own critical platform functionality end-to-end and help shape features the industry hasn't seen yet.

Collaborate cross-functionally in a fully remote, distributed team environment
Integrate external data sources and OSINT-style data feeds into the platform pipeline
Contribute to AI pipeline architecture and agentic workflow systems
Drive 0→1 feature development with a high degree of autonomy and accountability
What We're Looking For
Required:
Senior or Staff-level backend engineering experience

Experience building low-latency, highly available distributed backend systems
Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating asynchronously across a remote team
Proven ability to work with flexibility across different engineering specialties in a lean team
