We are seeking a visionary Sr. Principal Backend Engineer to shape the future of our Cortex platforms. In this highly impactful role, you will act as a technical pioneer and an architectural challenger for our leading-edge security orchestration, automation, and response platform.
Bringing an entrepreneurial mindset and a deep understanding of the competitive business landscape, you will critically evaluate our core systems, champion system quality, and drive rapid prototyping (POCs) for innovative AI-based solutions. This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned technologist-perhaps a former founder-who wants to keep their hands in the code while shaping our strategic direction and pushing the boundaries of AI-driven cybersecurity.
Your Impact:
Challenge the Architecture: Bring a fresh, external perspective to critically evaluate our core systems and drive uncompromising standards for quality and resilience.
Prototype & Innovate (POCs): Keep your hands in the code by rapidly prototyping GenAI integrations and evaluating new models before they are scaled by the broader team.
Think Like a Founder: Deeply understand our business, competitive landscape, and market trends to ensure technical decisions drive real business value.
Industry Presence: Stay ahead of the curve by actively engaging with the broader tech community, tracking trends, and attending industry conferences.

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.
