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.

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.

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help build and scale the Machine Learning Platform that powers how we use AI across the business. You'll be part of the ML Platform team, designing the infrastructure that lets our data scientists move faster, ship smarter, and operate with confidence in production.
We believe three things matter for every role: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work. Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.
In this role you'll:
Design and build the foundational ML platform and AI agents to accelerate data science model delivery across all business units
Architect cloud-native microservices running on Kubernetes, using infrastructure-as-code to automate model deployment and management
Own the end-to-end ML lifecycle, covering training, testing, deployment, and real-time monitoring
Evaluate and choose the right tools and technologies based on workload demands and performance requirements
Collaborate with engineering, data science, and product teams to keep ML projects aligned with business goals
Identify and fix reliability, scalability, and performance gaps before they become problems.

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own core infrastructure that powers our platform - from the pipelines that move and process data at scale, to the systems that keep our engineering org shipping fast and reliably. This is a technical leadership role: you'll set architecture direction, raise the bar on engineering practices, and mentor other engineers, while staying deeply hands-on.

You'll operate in an organization that expects AI-native ways of working. Using tools like Claude, Cursor, Hermes or LangGraphor isn't a bonus here - it's the baseline for how we build, and we expect you to help the rest of the team level up on it too.

What Youll be Doing:
Own core backend infrastructure - design and build scalable, reliable Node.js/TypeScript/Python/Go services that other teams and systems depend on.
Build and scale data pipelines - architect the infrastructure that processes and moves large volumes of data reliably, efficiently, and at scale.
Elevate test & validation infrastructure - build the automation, tooling, and CI/CD systems that let engineering ship fast without breaking things, and that make quality and reliability measurable.
Set technical direction - make architecture decisions with company-wide impact, drive design reviews, and establish engineering standards and best practices.
Mentor and multiply - level up other engineers technically, and help shape a fast, high-ownership engineering culture as the team grows.
Lead with AI-native workflows - use AI-assisted development tools daily to move faster without sacrificing architectural quality, and champion their adoption across the team.
