Founding Engineer (Backend) – Cloud & Cybersecurity (CTEM)Location: Hybrid (with offices in Tel Aviv)Stage: Well-funded Seed Round, backed by top-tier VCsTech Stack: Go, TypeScript, Node. js, AWS, Kubernetes, ReactDomain: Cybersecurity | Cloud-Native | CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management)What We’re BuildingWe’re building a new approach to cloud security - making modern infrastructure safer without slowing teams down. Our platform continuously maps real-time attack paths across containers, clusters, and cloud environments. It combines runtime signals, configuration analysis, and network reachability to surface only exploitable risks — no noise, just signal.
Why This Role MattersWe're assembling a small team of founding engineers to help define and build the core of the company - from product architecture to engineering culture. This is a rare opportunity to: Own critical infrastructure and systems from day one. Build technology that dives deep into cloud internals, threat modeling, and real-time analysis. Work directly with design partners and early customers to shape what gets built — and how. Make foundational decisions that influence the future of the product, company, and team. As a founding engineer, your fingerprints will be all over everything we ship.

You’re comfortable across the modern cloud-native stack - AWS, Kubernetes, containers, IAM, VPCs, etc. Proficient in Go or Node. js (TypeScript), with strong fundamentals in building reliable systems. Curious, product-aware, and pragmatic - you enjoy solving tough technical problems and working closely with product. Strong communicator who thrives in early team dynamics and ambiguity.
