Senior Backend Engineer — C#/DevOps
About the team
Cycode is an AI‑Native Application Security Platform that secures every phase of modern software delivery. Cycode unifies code and pipeline scanning, secrets detection, supply chain security, IaC analysis, and runtime insights into one end‑to‑end solution.
The platform uses AI to correlate signals across the entire development lifecycle, prioritize the risks, and automate remediation where it matters most.
By connecting to source control, build systems, cloud environments, and deployment pipelines, Cycode gives organizations complete visibility and control over how software is built and released.
About the role
We’re looking for a skilled Backend Engineer to join our Scanners Infrastructure Team, where C# engineering meets cloud-native DevOps.

You will play a vital role in identifying performance bottlenecks, proactively resolving production issues, and continuously improving service health and scalability. You'll work closely with teammates to detect scanner performance issues, build out robust alerting, and implement long-term improvements.
