Job Description

  • Own the monolith. You will inherit a Python / Django codebase covering bug bounty submission workflows (severity classification, status transitions, file validation, payout logic), pentest program management, real-time messaging, and audit logging. You decide what stays, what goes, and how it scales.
  • AI-native development. In 2026, we hire engineers who think clearly and use AI tooling to punch above their weight - maintaining the output of three traditional engineers while keeping code clean, tested, and secure.
  • Productionise AI triage. The CTO has built early LLM prototypes for bug bounty and pentest report triage - severity classification, duplicate detection, preliminary validity checks. You inherit these, evaluate what works, and wire intelligence into the submission pipeline using its structured severity levels and rich metadata.
  • Build offensive security agents. Own the technical vision for AI agents that automate offensive activities - scoping, reconnaissance patterns, pentest workflow orchestration - integrated with Celery task infrastructure and the real-time Channels layer.

Requirements

  • Proven production Django / Python experience - real web apps and APIs, not just analytics scripts. Bonus for marketplaces or multi-sided platforms.
  • Generalist backend skills: comfortable across the stack from DB to deployment; familiar with Java or TypeScript.
  • You write and maintain test suites - not as an afterthought.
  • Practical infrastructure understanding: AWS and Docker day-to-day. Deep Terraform expertise not required.
  • Security-minded: you care about clean, secure code because real users depend on it - not just because the linter says so.

Company offers

  • Defense tech that matters. In the current geopolitical climate, building tools for ethical hackers isn't just a job - it's a contribution to regional security.
  • AI at the operational core. This isn't "add a chatbot to the landing page." You'll be building AI into live vulnerability triage and offensive security workflows, augmenting the judgment of professional pentesters.
  • Equity and autonomy. You're the architectural foundation of the company - early-stage package with meaningful equity, not employee #247.
  • Honest codebase. Real monolith, real debt - not a greenfield fantasy. Pre-commit hooks, a working CI pipeline, Docker-based dev environment, and a team that wants to do things properly.
