Description

We're growing and looking to hire a Backend Software Engineer, AI Platform who embodies our core values: People First, Customer Obsession, Strive for Excellence, and Integrity

Claroty is a global leader in cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection, dedicated to securing the critical infrastructure that keeps the world running. We're a fast-growing, award-winning team where innovation meets purpose-and we want you to help us define the future of cybersecurity.

At Claroty, our technology strategy is focused on solving real-world cyber-physical security problems at scale through robust, distributed, cloud-native architectures. We design and evolve a unified platform that serves as the technological backbone for all Claroty products, delivering deep visibility across CPS environments-without disrupting critical operations. Our architecture emphasizes scalability, resilience, and extensibility to support both cloud and on-prem deployments.

About the Role:

As a Backend Software Engineer, AI Platform at Claroty, you will design and build high-performance backend systems and production-grade AI solutions that secure critical cyber-physical environments. You will solve complex architecture, networking, and data challenges, integrating cutting-edge LLM and AI technologies directly into our core product platform.

Responsibilities

As a Backend Software Engineer, AI Platform your impact will be:

  • Feature & Architectural Ownership: Take end-to-end ownership over complex features from initial architecture to global deployment implementing scalable architectures across cloud and on-prem environments.
  • AI & LLM Integration: Design, build, and deploy production-grade LLM applications, RAG systems, and AI agents to enable intelligent natural language interfaces and automated security workflows.
  • AI-Assisted Engineering: Integrate modern AI development platforms (specifically Cursor, Claude, or GitHub Copilot) into daily workflows to accelerate code generation, optimize refactoring, and automate complex problem-solving.
  • Code Excellence: Promote engineering best practices, system resilience, and clean code architecture.

Requirements

What you need to succeed in this role:

  • Backend & Python Expertise: 5+ years of hands-on experience in server backend design and development, with a strong track record of building complex production applications in Python.
  • AI & LLM Applications (Hands-on): Practical experience building and deploying production-grade LLM applications, RAG systems, AI agents, or natural language interfaces.
  • Distributed Systems Architecture: Proven experience building distributed, high-availability, large-scale systems handling real-time data traffic and networking protocols.
  • AI-Driven Workflows: Proficiency in utilizing AI development tools (specifically Cursor and Claude) to streamline software development workflows and root-cause defect analysis.
  • Bonus Points: Cloud-Native experience (AWS/Azure/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes), cybersecurity background (ZTNA, IAM, VPN), and deep networking/security knowledge (TCP/IP, SSH, RDP, Encryption).

    Pros: Work life balance is good

    Cons: Management changes very frequently and is not stable

  • Disorganized Leadership, Broken Systems, and an Unfinished Product
    2026-02-04T12:28:47.180

    Pros: Remote work flexibility and decent work-life balance.

    Cons: Outdated, unreliable, and poorly integrated technology systems. Heavy dependence on Google Workspace with little enterprise structure. Internal tools are fragmented, frequently broken, and rarely interconnected. File uploads, document sharing, and collaboration tools often fail. The DLP system regularly blocks legitimate emails, attachments, and uploads, making basic work unnecessarily difficult. Management is inexperienced, immature, and lacks strong technical or operational leadership. Many leaders are not technologists and do not understand how to manage people, processes, or sales pipelines. Sales and business development execution is weak and inconsistent. Some staff struggle with basic Microsoft tools like PowerPoint, Word, and Windows, which hurts productivity and professionalism. The company still operates like an early-stage startup, despite trying to compete in enterprise markets. Leadership often appears unprepared for scale. Processes are informal, undocumented, or constantly changing. The product is not fully mature. Many advertised capabilities are not fully implemented or reliable. Marketing materials frequently overpromise features that are not consistently delivered in real deployments. This puts business development and sales staff in a difficult position when engaging customers.

  • Terrific company!
    2026-01-28T05:01:33.017

    Pros: Warm and supportive environment Product that does "good" in the world, securing vital infrastructure Great perks, high salary, regular flow of cakes and gifts and team-building activities.

    Cons: As in many high-tech companies, young people leave after 3 years for their next opportunities.

Frequently asked questions about backend engineer jobs

What is a ghost job?

A ghost job is a posting for a role the company isn't actively hiring for. Some stay up after the company fills the role. Others collect resumes for an opening that may never come.

You spend an evening tailoring an application, and nobody on the other side is looking for you.

What do backend engineer jobs pay?

Across the postings here that list pay, the median is about $165,000 a year. About 4 in 10 of these postings list a pay range; the rest show an estimate, marked as one.

How many backend engineer jobs are there?

At our last count there were about 750 open postings from about 240 employers. The list on this page is live, so the count above it is the current one.

How does Enhancv spot a ghost job?

Every posting goes through five checks: how long it has been up, whether a salary is posted, what employees say about the company, how specific the description is and whether it lists real requirements. Each job shows the checks it passed and the ones it didn't.

How fresh are the job postings?

Enhancv checks postings every hour, and every job shows how long ago it went up. Most hires happen within 30 days of posting. A listing that's been open for two months raises its ghost job risk.
