We're looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join the AI Engineering team, bringing Silverfort's AI transformation to life at two levels: the infrastructure layer, building and unlocking a platform that lets the organization run AI in production, and the product layer, building the AI features that run on it. The team builds access protection features, like agents that run in real time when access is requested and make a decision, or background agents that continuously analyze the organization's environment, as well as the infrastructure that powers them.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and own the core AI platform consumed across the company
Build AI-powered features end-to-end, from real-time access decisions to background analysis agents
Own the full lifecycle: research emerging models and frameworks, build evaluation harnesses, and make the reliability, latency, and cost tradeoffs that decide what ships
Drive your work end-to-end, partnering with product, engineering, and other teams across the company as needed to make things happen
Set technical direction and architecture for a new team, establishing the patterns and infrastructure other teams will build on
Architect and build a company-wide initiative on a clean slate, setting the standards from day one
Requirements
7+ years of backend software development experience, including designing and owning production systems end-to-end
The team works primarily in TypeScript/Node.js. Strong backend engineering skills are required, but excellence in another language isn't a blocker
Proven track record taking systems from 0 to 1 under real ambiguity, without an existing playbook
Strong system architecture and design skills, able to make reliability, latency, and scale tradeoffs independently
Experience working with SQL databases
Comfortable exploring new and unproven technologies, quick to prototype and validate
Good collaboration skills, comfortable partnering across the organization as needed to move your work forward
Hands-on production experience with AI agent systems - a strong advantage
Information security or identity platform background - an advantage
Experience with NestJS, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Kafka, or Nx monorepos - an advantage
