Senior Backend Engineer - AI

 

Job summary

We are building the trust layer for the agentic future. As AI agents move from simple chatbots to autonomous workloads with access to sensitive enterprise data, the industry lacks a standard for Identity, Authentication, and Governance.

You will architect and build the core security and identity infrastructure that defines how AI agents are identified, authenticated, authorized, and governed at scale. You will set foundational architectural patterns, establish engineering standards, and help shape the long-term technical vision of the company.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role in a high-ownership startup environment.

 

What you will do

Architect the Trust Layer for AI

• Design and implement distributed identity and authorization systems for autonomous AI agents.
• Define Zero Trust principles for agent-to-agent and agent-to-system communication.
• Architect cryptographic identity, verifiable credentials, and secure delegation models.

Build Cloud-Native, SaaS Infrastructure

• Design and ship production-grade, multi-tenant SaaS services.
• Build containerized microservices (Kubernetes-based) with strong observability, scalability, and resilience.
• Establish secure service-to-service communication patterns using modern cloud-native best practices.
