Backend Engineer

We're a product-first team on a mission to help grow the cybersecurity culture 🔐 We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity. We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment. Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with leading investors (Y Combinator, Left Lane, Base10, Funders Club and First Capital) and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel, and Deezer) all over the world. Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that. Today, Riot is the employee security company , with products that cover every angle of how employees interact with security: Awareness: chat-based cybersecurity courses employees genuinely engage with, plus Studio , which lets security teams build their own custom training in minutes. Simulation: realistic phishing, smishing campaigns that train employees in a safe environment. Inbox: the AI-powered 24/7 cyber hotline for your security team. Employees report suspicious emails, ask questions about IT/Security, our AI classifies and prioritizes them, and your team responds. Sonar: DLP for Google Drive and OneDrive that stops data leaks before they happen. Sonar audits sharing configurations, gives employees clear guidance on what's safe to share with which partners, and delegates everyday decisions to your team while you keep control. Slash: email security that catches the attacks your filter misses. Albert alerts employees inside suspicious emails before they click, combines semantic and technical signals to spot sophisticated threats, and instantly removes confirmed threats from every inbox in the company. Awareness, Simulation, Inbox, Sonar or Slash: we hire engineers for the product org, not for a single team. Where you land is decided during the process, based on what you're good at and where the need is. Whichever team you join, the shape of the work is the same. You own features end to end, from the spec to production. You ship to 2,000,000 employees, which means anything you build has to hold up at scale on day one. The hard problems are real: delivering chat-based content reliably at scale, modeling org hierarchies that bend without breaking, building authoring tools that feel as good as the content they produce. The team is small, senior, and trusted. Engineers own…
