Backend Developer

About the Team

SecurITe’s mission is to build an Agentic-AI driven security platform that protects critical infrastructure from modern cyber threats. Our focus is on delivering highly performant, resilient, and intelligent network security systems that help defenders stay ahead of adversaries.

About the Role

We’re looking for an exceptional Platform Engineer to help lead the development of our next-generation cybersecurity AI platform. This is a rare opportunity to shape how agentic AI transforms the future of cyber defense.

As a Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the foundational infrastructure, deployment systems, and developer platforms that power our cybersecurity products across cloud and on-premise environments. You will work at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, cloud-native technologies, automation, reliability, and security to enable scalable and resilient product delivery.

You’ll collaborate closely with AI/ML, backend, security, QA, and product engineering teams to create self-service platforms, deployment pipelines, observability systems, and operational tooling that accelerate innovation while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and security.

This role is ideal for Linux platform engineers and system specialists who excel at solving complex system challenges, automating wherever possible, and building resilient platforms that enable teams to move faster with confidence.

Why This Role Matters

Cybersecurity is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI is no longer an enhancement—it’s becoming the core engine of how detection, investigation, and response are executed. As our Platform Engineer, you will architect and build the infrastructure, automation, deployment, and operational systems that make this transformation real.

Your work will directly influence the scalability, reliability, and security of our AI-driven cybersecurity platform across both cloud and enterprise on-premise deployments. You’ll help establish the operational backbone that enables rapid innovation, secure product delivery, and resilient large-scale deployments in mission-critical environments.

This is a chance to solve novel technical challenges involving distributed systems, hybrid infrastructure, observability, automation, and secure software delivery while shaping how defenders outpace modern attackers.

What You’ll Do

●    Design, build, and own AWS infrastructure from the ground up (VPC architecture, EC2 fleet management, IAM, networking, security groups)

●    Administer and harden AlmaLinux VMs across production, staging, and dev environments

●    Build automation for provisioning, patching, and configuration management (infrastructure-as-code, config management tooling)

●    Design and implement observability: monitoring, logging, alerting, and on-call-worthy SLAs from scratch

●    Lead incident response — diagnosis, RCA, and post-incident documentation — with no dedicated ops team to escalate to

●    Make and document build-vs-buy and architecture decisions as the product and team scale

●    Work directly with founders/engineering to translate ambiguous asks into scoped technical plans

Impact You’ll Have

●    Accelerate engineering velocity through scalable developer platforms and automation

●    Improve deployment reliability, platform uptime, and operational efficiency

●    Enable secure and scalable AI-driven cybersecurity workloads

●    Reduce operational overhead through infrastructure automation and self-service systems

●    Help establish enterprise-grade cloud and on-premise deployment capabilities

●    Enhance product resiliency, observability, and operational excellence

●    Shape the long-term platform architecture powering next-generation cybersecurity products

●    Enable rapid and secure delivery of critical security innovations to customers

Required Experience

●    4+ years hands-on Linux administration (RHEL-family strongly preferred — AlmaLinux, CentOS, RHEL)

●    Deep Linux internals: systemd, networking, storage/LVM, process/resource management, kernel-level troubleshooting

●    Real AWS architecture experience — not just operating existing infra, but designing it (VPC, EC2, IAM, security groups, networking)

●    Demonstrated ability to scope and solve ambiguous problems independently, without a runbook or senior engineer to defer to

●    Scripting/automation proficiency (Python and/or Bash) beyond one-off scripts — built tooling that runs unattended

●    Track record of end-to-end ownership: has designed, built, and operated a system (not just contributed to one)

●    Clear, proactive communicator — documents decisions and explains reasoning without being asked

Required Skills & Qualifications

●    Strong Linux system administration and troubleshooting skills

●    Redhat certifications

●    Strong understanding of networking fundamentals, security, and distributed systems

●    Proficiency with Docker, and container orchestration

●    Experience with Terraform, Ansible, or similar infrastructure automation tools

●    Strong scripting or programming skills in Python, Bash, or Go

●    Knowledge of observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry

●    Understanding of platform security best practices and secure infrastructure design

●    Familiarity with virtualization technologies and hybrid infrastructure environments

●    Strong problem-solving and debugging abilities

●    Excellent communication and collaboration skills

●    Ability to thrive in fast-paced startup environments

Nice to Have

●    Configuration management/automation at scale (Ansible, AWX, Terraform, or similar)

●    Monitoring/observability stack experience (Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, ELK, Datadog)

●    Container experience (Docker; Kubernetes a plus but not core to this VM-based stack)

●    Experience in a startup or small-team environment where infra was built from scratch

●    Security/compliance exposure (vulnerability remediation, hardening, SSO/access control)

The Mindset

Problem Solver

You thrive on complex, ambiguous challenges and engineer elegant solutions.

Ownership-Driven

You take initiative, move fast, and deliver outcomes without hand-holding.

Continuous Learner

You stay ahead of the curve in AI, ML, cloud-native technologies, and emerging infrastructure trends.

Startup DNA

You excel in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve and impact is immediate.
