    Job description

    Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we’ve built an AI-driven engine that finally gives the C-Suite a clear, quantified, and real-time view of their security posture. We don’t just provide data; we provide certainty.

    We are a $170M Series C-funded category leader. We don’t play in the mid-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to serve 10% of the Fortune 500, protecting global icons such as Apple, Netflix, AT&T, Verizon, and Victoria’s Secret.

    As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.

    The Culture Memo: Our Operating System

    Safe is not a typical corporate environment. We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team. We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.

    • Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.

    • The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet. Our work must be bulletproof. Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.

    • Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it. From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.

    • Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating. We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.

    • The Series C Hustle: We have the stability of a well-funded leader but the heart of a startup.

    The Perks & Ownership:

    We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners. We trust our people to manage their results and their time.

    • Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder. You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.

    • Unlimited Leaves: We don’t believe in clock-watching. We offer unlimited leave because we trust you to take the time you need to recharge while staying committed to the mission.

    • Comprehensive Benefits: We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.

    • Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively. For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.

    🚀 The Role: Staff Engineer
    We’re looking for a Staff Engineer who lives for solving the hard stuff. You’ll be the technical force multiplier—leading architecture, scaling systems, and guiding engineers to build products that help predict and prevent cyber breaches before they happen.
    If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can lead bold ideas, shape product direction, and create real-world impact at global scale—this is it.

    🧩 What You’ll Do:

    • Be the Tech Leader: Mentor engineers, champion clean code, and drive a culture of technical excellence.
    • Architect at Scale: Design secure, high-performance multi-tenant microservices that can handle serious load—without breaking a sweat.
    • Code Like a Pro: Conduct deep-dive code reviews and stay hands-on when it matters most.
    • Master the Cloud: Architect smart solutions using AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, EC2, S3, RDS—you name it).
    • Solve Complex Problems: Debug, diagnose, and dismantle architectural challenges with finesse.
    • Collaborate & Influence: Work closely with Product, Design, and GTM teams to align tech with business.
    • Drive Delivery: Own the roadmap, lead execution, and ensure on-time, high-quality releases.
    • Innovate Constantly: Introduce and champion new tools, patterns, and practices that elevate our engineering game.

    💡 What We’re Looking For:

    • 8+ years of experience as a Staff/Senior Engineer or equivalent.
    • Strong backend chops in Node.js, Python, Go, or similar.
    • Hands-on experience building APIs in TypeScript (Express is a plus).
    • Bonus points if you’ve played with modern frontends (React, Angular, Vue).
    • Deep database expertise (SQL & NoSQL), with performance tuning skills.
    • Proven success building on the cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).
    • Containerization know-how—Kubernetes or Docker is your playground.
    • You’ve built and scaled platforms that handle real-world load.
    • Strong leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
    • You love tackling tough architecture challenges head-on.
    • Familiarity with DevOps and IaC (CloudFormation is a plus).
    If you’re passionate about cyber risk, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to be part of a team that’s redefining security, we want to hear from you! 🚀
