Senior Backend Engineer - Glilot

Description

We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to help shape the future of the enterprise browser.

At Island, we’ve reimagined the enterprise browser from the ground up — a secure, seamless, Chromium-based browser that embeds enterprise-grade security and productivity features directly into the browsing experience. Trusted by some of the world’s most respected enterprises, we’re backed by leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Insight Partners, and Stripes.

Now, we’re taking it to the next level.

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Island, you’ll work on the core of our enterprise browser platform — building scalable, high-performance features that power the modern enterprise. You’ll collaborate closely with product and design teams to craft intuitive user experiences while tackling complex engineering challenges on both frontend and backend systems.

This role is about pushing boundaries: streamlining workflows, enhancing productivity, and redefining what’s possible inside the browser.

This might be for you if:

You live and breathe code
You’re passionate about creating exceptional user experiences
You’re proactive, curious, and eager to help shape the future
You love solving complex technical challenges at scale

Requirements:

5+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Strong skills in both modern frontend and backend technologies
Ability to thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments

We’ve built antivirus systems, browser isolation, DLPs, proxies, and more — serving millions. But this is more than just a new product. It’s a new chapter in enterprise work. Bigger, bolder, and more impactful than anything we’ve built before.

We’d love to meet you.
