About the Position

Location: Bangalore, India
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Backend Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience to help build and evolve our AI Security platform. Strong hands-on experience with Go (Golang) is a must. You’ll be an early contributor to a new and rapidly evolving product area, working on complex backend and security challenges at significant scale while having meaningful input into the architecture.
Joining Cyberhaven means joining the team building Data Security for the Agentic Enterprise. Traditional tools fall short. Cyberhaven traces the full lifecycle of your data, adapting protection to changing context, so protection moves with the way people actually work, not against it. AI Changed Work. We Protect It.

This role lets you shape the future of data security, working alongside people driven to protect workflows, not just data, for customers who cannot afford to slow down to stay safe.

The AI Tools may process information you provide during the application and interview process.

Responsibilities
- Design, extend, and optimize large-scale, highly scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems processing billions of events from hundreds of thousands of endpoints in real time, with sub-second latency requirements.
- Build security capabilities that protect sensitive customer data as it flows into and out of LLMs, GenAI applications, AI tools, and agents.
- Contribute to the architecture and evolution of Cyberhaven’s AI Security platform.
- Solve real-world scaling and distributed systems problems through performance analysis, profiling, optimization, and troubleshooting.
- Build and ship production backend services using Go (Golang).

- Experience building and operating distributed systems, microservices, and Kubernetes-based applications in production.
- Experience with databases at significant scale. Experience with GCP services such as BigTable, BigQuery, or Spanner is a plus.
- Experience profiling, troubleshooting, and optimizing distributed applications that use large databases, event streams, or streaming platforms.
- Experience building API-level integrations or connectors with enterprise SaaS applications is a plus. Experience with AI/LLM platforms is especially relevant.
- Understanding of the importance of reliability, performance, and security when building systems that process large volumes of sensitive or untrusted data.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
- Comfortable collaborating frequently with distributed teams in Europe and the US.
