About the Role
Join a lean, high-caliber core engineering team at a fast-growing AI-first startup in the physical security and critical event management space. The platform leverages agentic AI to monitor real-time threat signals — including 911 radio dispatch and social media OSINT — delivering verified, actionable alerts to enterprise security operations teams in seconds. Customers include Fortune 50 retailers, major utilities, and leading autonomous-vehicle companies.
The company was founded by public-safety technology veterans, is backed by top-tier seed investors, and has crossed strong early revenue milestones with impressive customer retention. The core engineering team is small and intentional — this is a meaningful, high-ownership role.

Design and build backend systems that power real-time threat intelligence ingestion, processing, and alerting
Develop and iterate on AI pipelines and agentic workflows
Build user-configured workflow systems that enable security operations teams to act quickly and precisely
Collaborate closely with a small, senior core team to ship features the industry hasn't seen before
Flex across engineering specialties as needed in an early-stage environment
Required
Senior or Staff level backend engineering experience
0→1 ownership experience — you've taken a large project or product feature from idea to polished delivery, end-to-end
Demonstrated ability to dive into different areas of engineering (flexibility is key on a lean team)
