## Job description

Senior Backend Engineer

## CYBRET AI

Remote Norway and Europe preferred Full-time Early hire with equity

## 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. The team is currently based in Norway, but we hire internationally. 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 Small, highly skilled, talent-dense team Ambition to scale without sacrificing quality or depth English is the primary working language Norwegian company with potential future transition to a US INC structure Fully remote role with home office agreement Laptop of your choice up to 20,000 NOK Optional home office equipment Mobile subscription and home internet fully reimbursed Strict confidentiality and correct handling of sensitive information is mandatory Ability to pass background checks and applicable security clearance is required Standard insurance coverage is provided

Equity and Ownership CYBRET AI offers a highly competitive Employee Stock Option Program. Early hires are viewed as owners, not employees. This role includes meaningful equity and long-term upside.

## Why Join CYBRET AI

You should join CYBRET AI if you want to:

- Build the backbone of autonomous security systems
- Own critical backend infrastructure from day one
- Work on complex, high-impact systems
- Be an early owner in a company with global ambition

## About CYBRET AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: CYBRET AI builds an autonomous security platform that uses a unified knowledge graph and neurosymbolic reasoning to continuously discover, validate, and respond to real attack paths across code, cloud, identity, and APIs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage, no disclosed funding rounds)
- **Headquarters**: Global (remote-first; team distributed across EU and US)
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed (described as a deliberately small group of security researchers, AI engineers, and former operators)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity (autonomous application security, exposure management, runtime detection and response)
- **Target customers**: Enterprise AppSec teams, CISOs, and security operations (B2B)
- **Mission/purpose**: Replace noise and manual effort with continuous, evidence-based validation and machine-speed defense — “no noise, no guesswork, only proven exposures.”

## Products & Services
- **Exposure Intelligence** (SaaS): Unified knowledge graph across 30+ sources (code, cloud, identity, SIEM, ITSM) to surface exploitable attack paths and rank by real-world risk. Deduplicates thousands of findings into a handful of real paths.
- **Validation** (SaaS): Continuous autonomous re-attack of every deploy and config change to earn or revoke “critical” status with signed proof-of-exploit capsules (trace, privilege graph, screenshot, rollback). Compliance-grade evidence for SOC 2, PCI, HITRUST, DORA.
- **Runtime Detection** (SaaS): Graph-native anomaly detection fused with UEBA and rule engines. Correlates runtime signals with known exploitable paths; agents author and execute reversible responses (contain, rotate, revert, validate) and synthesize runbooks.
- **Pricing tiers**: Free (one repo, full Exposure Intelligence, community support), Pro ($990/month, up to 25 apps, attack path analysis, Slack+Jira routing), Enterprise (custom, with all three products and priority support).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Early stage — no public revenue or funding round announced; team size under 25 people
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly listed; described as a “private research lab” with founder-led sales and early design partners
- **Growth Signals**: Active hiring for seven roles across engineering, research, security, and go-to-market; live platform at app.cybret.ai; processing 1.2 million events per second; expanding into US market (SF expansion planned)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Neurosymbolic reasoning engine** that traverses code, identity, cloud, and APIs the way an attacker would, rather than relying on CVSS scoring or scanner noise.
- **Autonomous agent orchestration** with full reversibility and auditability — every agent action is scoped and reversible, enabling machine-speed response without risk.
- **Unified knowledge graph** that correlates findings across 30+ connectors, deduplicating thousands of alerts into a handful of real, exploitable paths.
- **Continuous validation** that runs on every deploy or config change, not just periodic pen tests.

## Strategic Focus
- **Build a category-defining autonomous security platform** by expanding the knowledge graph, improving agent reasoning, and proving the model with enterprise design partners.
- **Scale go-to-market** in both EMEA and North America with a founder-led, proof-driven sales motion.
- **Maintain a small, high-leverage team** (<25 people) that owns unreasonable amounts of the product end-to-end, with deep focus and no ghost managers.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-first, async culture** with global team (EU and US); co-location when it matters, remote when it doesn’t.
- **Flat structure** where each person owns a surface of the product top-to-bottom — no layers, no busywork, deep focus by default.
- **Transparent compensation** (salary or OTE shared on the first call), meaningful equity, home-office stipend, and real PTO.
- **Hiring process** is under two weeks from first call to offer, no whiteboard leetcode, no unpaid projects; five-step process adapted to the role.
- **Work on genuinely hard problems**: neurosymbolic reasoning, agent orchestration, machine-speed defense — with a live platform and early customers already putting it to work.
