Description
OX Security is securing the AI-driven SDLC from prompt to production. We're building the next generation of security technology for a world where AI is changing how software is built, deployed, and attacked.
We're growing fast and looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our AppSec Solution group, home of OX's core platform, and play a key role in shaping the architecture and infrastructure the whole product runs on.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role where you'll work closely with our Software Architect, team leads across R&D, DevOps and Product, helping us build the foundations for what comes next, including running AI agents inside the product at scale.
If you're independent, opinionated and love turning a design on a whiteboard into a production system, we'd love to meet you.
Responsibilities
What You'll Be Doing
Own cross-company infrastructure and architecture projects end-to-end with our Software Architect, from design through adoption across teams
Build and own the shared foundations and standards our services are built on
Lead the evolution of our data layer as our largest customers scale
Build the platform foundations for running AI agents inside the OX product
Drive cost optimization from the application side, including how our services scale on Kubernetes
Raise the reliability and observability bar across our services
Lead how R&D builds with AI, so AI-assisted development is fast and meets our engineering standards
Lead technical alignment with team leads, DevOps, and Product: bring a clear point of view and move cross-team initiatives forward
Act as an internal partner for engineering teams: review designs, find reuse, and raise the architectural bar across R&D
Stay hands-on: write platform code and land changes across teams
Requirements
What We're Looking For
7+ years of backend engineering experience, with architect-level depth in system design
Strong production experience with Node.js and TypeScript
AI-first: you build with AI tools every day, adopt new AI technologies early, and look for ways AI can improve developer experience and system performance
Deep experience with databases at scale: data modelling, performance, and evolving a data layer in production
Proven hands-on experience in platform engineering and infrastructure, including shared foundations adopted across teams
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and a strong understanding of DevOps practices
Track record of leading cross-team technical projects and influencing without formal authority
Clear written communication: design docs and technical reviews
Nice to have
Practical understanding of LLMs and AI agents
Experience with cloud cost optimization
Background in cybersecurity or SaaS
The "AI-First" Spark: You are an early adopter of AI technologies and are passionate about finding ways to use AI to improve developer experience and system performance.
