At echo, we’re fixing a broken system. Vulnerability management isn't working – it’s reactive, noisy, and unsustainable. Instead of chasing CVEs, we’re eliminating them at the source.

Our AI-powered platform produces vulnerability-free base images that integrate cleanly into existing workflows, helping security and platform teams eliminate patching overhead without slowing down developers. Backed by top-tier investors and led by second-time founders who previously built the first software supply chain security company, which was later acquired by Aqua Security, we’ve gone from stealth to serving global enterprise customers in under six months.

We're now looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join our core infrastructure team and help build the foundation of Echo's AI-powered, CVE-free container security platform.

What you’ll do 

• Take responsibility for Echo's platform and infrastructure, building the core backend systems and services that power our revolutionary container security solution
• Take ownership of the backend architecture, tech stack, and development processes, driving technical decisions across our factory's core components
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software and implement best practices in backend development, API design, and system architecture
• Lead complex projects in close collaboration with Product Managers and other Software Engineers, from technical planning through execution and delivery

What you bring:

Required:

• 6+ years of backend development experience
• Strong background in designing and implementing microservices-based architecture and distributed systems
• Extensive experience with cloud environments, particularly AWS
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, build automation, and deployment processes
• Hands-on experience with databases (SQL/NoSQL) and distributed messaging systems (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ)
• Proven ability to optimize performance and scalability in backend systems and services
• Excellent communication skills and proven ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams

Preferred:

• Strong proficiency in Golang or Node.js for backend development
• Knowledge of container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and container security concepts
• Experience with cybersecurity domain or security-focused product development
• Proficiency in working with AI assistant tools (such as Cursor, Copilot or Claude)

Why echo?

We're a fast-growing team composed of some of the coolest and most passionate people you'll meet, solving hard problems that really make a difference. You’ll have real ownership and a clear mission: to make cloud-native infrastructure secure by design.
