Senior Software Engineer - Backend

Lookout, Inc. is a globally recognized cybersecurity leader delivering advanced protection for the most vulnerable element of any enterprise security strategy — human error and manipulation. Cloud-native by design, the Lookout platform offers rapid, scalable deployment and simplified security operations, defending the frontline of human-centric attacks—the mobile device. Attackers now target the human element more than ever, with mobile devices providing the most direct path to their victims. Using social engineering techniques that exploit basic human instincts like trust, curiosity, and urgency, they deceive users into revealing sensitive credentials, allowing them to slip past legacy security solutions.

Lookout Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) continuously monitors mobile endpoints for signs of human-centric attacks, as well as traditional malware, software vulnerabilities, and other anomalous activity. It uses advanced threat detection techniques, including artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral analysis, to identify threats before they escalate across the enterprise.

Lookout's backend system supports a massive volume of data and an increasingly high level of demand, from data ingestion to delivery to dynamic analysis. We're looking for talented and motivated engineers to build core components and services, as well as to contribute to evolving the architecture. We're a small team working on a very large, modern system with a user base of millions, so you'll get to work on a cutting-edge product and service on a large scale. We're responsible for building and maintaining several of the services powering the various Lookout applications. We build services in Ruby & Scala, are hosted on AWS and firmly believe in using the cloud to our advantage.
