AI Summary
About the Role
Join a lean, high-caliber core engineering team at a fast-growing AI-first platform in the critical event management space. This company helps enterprises — including major retailers, autonomous-vehicle companies, and utilities — stay ahead of physical threats by combining real-time AI-driven 911 radio monitoring with OSINT from major social networks to deliver verified, actionable threat alerts in seconds.
Founded in 2023 by public-safety technology veterans and backed by top-tier investors (Seed/Series A stage), the company has strong early traction with meaningful ARR and high customer retention. The core engineering team is small by design — you'll have real ownership and outsized impact.
We're adding 1–2 Senior or Staff Backend Engineers to the core team. This is a foundational hire.
What You'll Do
Own core platform functionality end-to-end, from initial design through polished delivery
Innovate on features the industry hasn't seen before — this is genuine 0→1 work
Collaborate closely with a small, senior core team and coordinate with supporting engineers
Dive across specialties as needed — backend infrastructure, AI pipelines, data systems, and more
Help shape engineering culture and practices at an early-stage company
What We're Looking For
Required:
Senior-to-staff level backend engineering experience (typically 7+ years)
Demonstrated 0→1 ownership — you've taken a large project or product from idea to polished delivery, end-to-end
Flexibility and range across different engineering disciplines
Based in the United States
Nice to Have:
Experience building user-configured workflow systems
Experience building AI pipelines or agentic systems
Early-stage startup experience
Eye for product design and UX
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $180,000 – $205,000 annually
Fully remote (United States)
