Senior Backend Engineer - Cybret

About CYBRET AI

CYBRET AI is building Autonomous Security Infrastructure for modern organizations operating in complex, distributed, cloud-native environments.

Our ambition is to move cybersecurity away from reactive, human-dependent workflows and toward continuous, intelligent, autonomous security. We design systems that combine human judgment where it matters with fully autonomous decision-making where speed, scale, and precision are required.

We make a strict distinction between automation and autonomy. CYBRET AI does not rely on static rules or predefined playbooks. We build systems that understand context, reason over attack surfaces and exposure, assess real-world consequences, and take risk-based decisions.

Our primary focus is Exposure and Vulnerability Management as a decision system, not a reporting layer.

About the Role

This is a senior backend engineering role with real ownership over core systems.

As a Senior Backend Engineer at CYBRET AI, you will design and build the services, data pipelines, and APIs that power autonomous security reasoning. Your work will directly affect system reliability, performance, and the correctness of security decisions.

You will work closely with AI engineers, security engineers, and product to turn complex security and AI logic into robust, production-grade backend systems.

Responsibilities

Backend Systems & APIs

• Design, build, and maintain core backend services and APIs
• Implement scalable, secure, and well-structured backend architectures
• Own services end-to-end from design and implementation to production and iteration

Data & Distributed Systems

• Build and operate data pipelines for security signals, exposure data, and reasoning outputs
• Work with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous processing
• Ensure correctness, consistency, and performance at scale

Reliability & Security

• Design for fault tolerance, observability, and operational excellence
• Implement logging, metrics, tracing, and monitoring
• Ensure backend systems follow strong security and data-protection practices

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Collaborate closely with AI, security, and product teams
• Translate product and reasoning requirements into clean backend implementations
• Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term technical strategy
• Mentor engineers and raise backend engineering standards

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience as a senior backend engineer in production environments
• Excellent software engineering fundamentals and system design skills
• Experience building distributed systems and high-throughput APIs
• Strong ownership mindset and ability to operate independently

Experience with cloud platforms, security-critical systems, or data-intensive products is a strong plus, but not required.

How We Work

• CYBRET AI operates fully remote (Norway and Europe preferred).
• We value ownership, clarity, and execution.
• Engineers are expected to think in systems, not tickets.
• A strong shipping mindset is essential. Backend work at CYBRET AI must lead to real, reliable product capabilities.
• This is an early-stage startup. The pace is high, structure evolves continuously, and impact is real.

Culture and Benefits

• Monthly team gatherings such as weekend trips, cabin stays, and social events
• Dedicated budget for learning, courses, and professional development
• Laptop of your choice up to 20,000 NOK
• Mobile subscription and home internet fully reimbursed
• Standard insurance coverage provided
