Senior Software Engineer

About Us

malanta.ai is a stealth-mode startup on a mission to revolutionize how defenders secure their assets. We’re developing a groundbreaking platform that prevents cyberattacks before they begin — using only public data, no agents, and intelligent analysis of what's already visible. Backed by a seasoned team, we’re building cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions for enterprises and governments. Expect cutting-edge tech, meaningful work, and a collaborative culture.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Architect and develop scalable, secure backend systems for a high-performance SaaS platform
• Design and implement APIs and data pipelines to process large-scale security data efficiently
• Develop real-time, event-driven systems for advanced threat detection and analytics
• Integrate with a variety of data storage technologies, including graph databases, relational databases, and key-value stores
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and research teams to deliver end-to-end features
• Contribute to the performance, reliability, pricing and cloud-native deployment of our systems
• Take full ownership of your code — from design and testing to deployment, monitoring, and maintenance
• Provide mentorship to team members and actively contribute to a strong, collaborative engineering culture

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally in SaaS environments
• Proficiency in Python, Go, Node.js, or Java
• Experience with distributed systems and agent-based architectures
• Hands-on work with databases such as ArangoDB, Neo4j, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, DynamoDB, Firebolt, Snowflake, or BigQuery
• Strong understanding of AWS, serverless architecture, infrastructure as code (IaC), Docker/Kubernetes, and microservices
• Familiarity with high-throughput data systems, real-time processing, and multi-tenant SaaS design
• Commitment to writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following SOLID principles
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Bonus: Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
