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
