Sr. Principal Backend Engineer (Cortex XSIAM)

We are seeking a visionary Sr. Principal Backend Engineer to shape the future of our Cortex platforms. In this highly impactful role, you will act as a technical pioneer and an architectural challenger for our leading-edge security orchestration, automation, and response platform.
Bringing an entrepreneurial mindset and a deep understanding of the competitive business landscape, you will critically evaluate our core systems, champion system quality, and drive rapid prototyping (POCs) for innovative AI-based solutions. This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned technologist-perhaps a former founder-who wants to keep their hands in the code while shaping our strategic direction and pushing the boundaries of AI-driven cybersecurity.
Your Impact:
Challenge the Architecture: Bring a fresh, external perspective to critically evaluate our core systems and drive uncompromising standards for quality and resilience.
Prototype & Innovate (POCs): Keep your hands in the code by rapidly prototyping GenAI integrations and evaluating new models before they are scaled by the broader team.
Think Like a Founder: Deeply understand our business, competitive landscape, and market trends to ensure technical decisions drive real business value.
Industry Presence: Stay ahead of the curve by actively engaging with the broader tech community, tracking trends, and attending industry conferences.
Lead & Elevate: Guide cross-functional teams, lead high-level design reviews, and elevate our engineering culture through technical mentorship.
