About Harmonic Security
Harmonic Security lets teams adopt AI tools safely by protecting sensitive data in real time with minimal effort. It gives enterprises full control and stops leaks so that their teams can innovate confidently.
We are led by cybersecurity experts and backed by top investors including N47, Ten Eleven Ventures, and In-Q-Tel.
As AI tools rapidly become embedded in everyday workflows, the systems that connect, secure, and make sense of that activity are becoming mission-critical. This role sits at the core of Harmonic's platform: building the backend services and integrations that power real-time data protection, visibility, and control across complex customer environments. You'll help design and operate the foundational infrastructure that enables Harmonic to understand user intent, process high-volume event data, and enforce security decisions at scale. This work that directly shapes the product, the customer experience, and the category we're defining.
About The Team
Our Product Delivery team is the engine that turns vision into impact. We ship early and often, getting valuable features into the hands of customers quickly and iterating from there. We work in the open by default, sharing progress and ideas, and we trust each other to own outcomes. We're a small but mighty crew where every person plays a critical role and we're committed to using AI to work smarter and faster
About The Role
We're looking for a Backend Engineer who has an appreciation for all things security and system interconnectivity. This is a very hands-on technical role where you will be responsible for designing, building and maintaining scalable integrations between our core applications, identity providers and data security platforms.
