Required Principal/ Senior Backend Engineer - Data Classification
Job Summary
Our engineering team is at the core of how modern data security is built. We are redefining how organizations understand and protect their most sensitive data in a world of growing scale, speed, and complexity. By combining high-performance systems with intelligent, AI-driven capabilities, we challenge traditional approaches and push the boundaries of what data classification can achieve.
Were looking for engineers who thrive in open-ended environments, are energized by hard problems, and are motivated to build solutions that dont yet exist. This role is about more than writing code. Its about shaping how intelligent systems detect, interpret, and protect data across cloud and endpoint environments.
In this role, you will play a central part in designing and building a core classification engine that powers multiple security solutions across the platform. Your work will directly influence how different products identify risk, enforce protection, and operate at scale. Youll work at the intersection of large-scale systems and applied AI, turning raw signals into accurate, reliable insights that help customers secure their data with confidence.
Key Responsibilities:
Build and scale AI-driven data classification and detection capabilities for next-generation data security products.
Design systems that identify, classify, and protect sensitive data in real time across cloud and endpoint environments.
Lead technical design discussions and influence architecture for large-scale data processing systems.
Partner with product, infrastructure, and other engineering teams to deliver tightly integrated solutions.
Solve complex engineering challenges related to scale, performance, reliability, and operations.
Raise the technical and collaborative bar by mentoring, sharing knowledge, and improving team practices.
Proactively suggest ideas, lead initiatives, and drive continuous improvement across the product and engineering processes.

Cortex Cloud Application Security (AppSec) is building the security platform for the modern software development lifecycle. We help organizations identify, prioritize, and prevent security risks across source code, open-source dependencies, infrastructure as code, secrets, container images, CI/CD pipelines, and the broader developer ecosystem.
At the heart of AppSec is a large-scale platform responsible for connecting to customers' development environments, collecting and processing massive amounts of data, and making it reliably available to security products and experiences across Cortex Cloud.
We are looking for an exceptional Senior / Principal Backend Engineer to join our AppSec Platform group, reporting directly to the Group Leader.
This is a highly autonomous, hands-on role for an engineer who wants broad technical ownership rather than a narrowly defined domain. You will work on some of AppSec's most important and challenging engineering problems - spanning high-scale distributed systems, data infrastructure, onboarding and integrations, developer experience, reliability, performance, and AI-driven engineering.
You will frequently operate across team boundaries, take ambiguous problems from idea to production, and lead technical initiatives that have an impact well beyond a single service or team.
We are looking for someone who combines deep backend expertise with strong execution: an engineer who can design the architecture, dive into the code, debug production systems, challenge existing assumptions, rapidly prototype new approaches, and bring others along with them.
Key Responsibilities
Lead Critical Initiatives End-to-End - Own complex, business-critical engineering efforts from problem definition and architecture through implementation and production, often spanning multiple teams and domains.
Build and Scale the Backbone of AppSec - Design and evolve distributed systems and data infrastructure supporting large enterprise environments and hundreds of millions of entities, while balancing scalability, reliability, performance, and cost.
Stay Hands-On and Raise the Engineering Bar - Write and review production code, solve complex technical problems, and champion excellent architecture, maintainable code, testing, observability, and production ownership.
Drive Performance & Reliability - Identify architectural and operational bottlenecks and lead meaningful improvements in scalability, resiliency, efficiency, observability, and production readiness.
Shape DevEx and AI-Driven Engineering - Improve how engineers build, test, debug, and operate software while leveraging AI, automation, and agentic approaches to accelerate development and unlock new capabilities.
