Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain core backend systems including APIs, data pipelines, and workflow engines powering 7AI’s agentic security platform.
- Span the full product stack using AI-assisted development, from backend services to frontend interfaces.
- Translate customer pain points into product requirements, and product requirements into shipped software.
- Engage directly with customers to deepen understanding of the problem space and validate solutions.
- Contribute product and design judgment not just implementation, shaping what gets built and how it works.
- Choose and implement appropriate technologies and architectures with a can-do, fast-shipping attitude.
Requirements
- 5+ years of backend or full-stack engineering experience, with strong fundamentals in system design, APIs, and data modeling.
- Hands-on experience with cloud design and implementation (AWS preferred); familiarity with a wide range of cloud technologies and architectures.
- Proficiency in TypeScript/Node.js or similar modern server-side languages; Python a plus.
- Fluent with AI coding tools such as Claude, Cursor or similar.
- Demonstrated product instinct: you think about why something is being built, not just how, and you’re comfortable engaging directly with customers.
- Experience in or strong curiosity about the security domain — SIEM, SOAR, EDR, MDR, or incident response workflows.
- Excellent software development skills with strong problem-solving and communication abilities.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field.
Nice to Have
- Experience with workflow automation, SOAR platforms, or security orchestration.
- Familiarity with Temporal or similar workflow engines.
- Design sensibility — you don’t need to be a designer, but you know when something isn’t right.
- Background in a product-facing or customer-facing engineering role.
