Senior Backend Engineer

Tel Aviv, Israel · Full-time

About The Position

We are Pi Security, founded by veterans from Tesla and Microsoft, redefining Application Security through autonomous AI agents and modern orchestration. Our platform connects to our customers' codebases and engineering tools, and deploys AI agents that autonomously find, prioritize, and remediate security issues - from code-level vulnerabilities to architectural design gaps. We are looking for a high-ambition engineer to join our team in Israel and take extreme ownership of a "zero legacy" stack (Python, FastAPI, Temporal, K8s, and Agentic AI).

As a key member of our backend team, you will act as a pragmatic builder who designs, builds, and operates the future of our platform from the ground up. We value a low-ego mindset and a passion for solving deep technical challenges in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
