XBOW is creating an AI-powered platform that autonomously discovers, validates, and exploits vulnerabilities, aiming to put security ahead in the arms race against attackers who are already using AI.
Requirements
- Experience building and operating full-stack systems
- Proficiency with TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React)
- Experience designing and consuming APIs (REST or GraphQL)
- Strong backend development experience (Node.js, Kotlin, Go, or similar languages)
- Familiarity with AWS or similar cloud platforms
- Comfort working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform or CDK)
- Experience designing and optimizing relational databases (we use Postgres), and you know how to structure data for both performance and clarity.
Responsibilities
- Design and build full-stack systems that integrate frontend and backend seamlessly
- Develop scalable APIs and backend services in TypeScript, Kotlin, and Go
- Build intuitive, high-performance user interfaces in React
- Deploy and operate services in AWS and other cloud providers
- Own problems end-to-end—from design through deployment to production support
- Navigate ambiguity and help define how we build as much as what we build
- Collaborate closely with teammates across the stack, including AI researchers, Security researchers and backend engineers
Other
- We meet regularly and you’re supported to travel to collaborate with colleagues in person
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with incomplete information
- A thoughtful communicator who values clarity and simplicity
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment
- We care a lot more about mission fit, capability, and impact than what’s on your LinkedIn headline.
