Staff Engineer - Backend

Job Description

COMPANY DESCRIPTION:

Anvilogic is a Palo Alto-based AI cybersecurity startup founded by security veterans and data scientists from Fortune 500 companies. In 2019, we started building an AI-based SOC platform to lower the barrier to entry for detection engineering and threat hunting skill sets desperately needed in cybersecurity.

Our mission is to democratize threat detection and hunting for today’s SOC teams to easily be done across hybrid, multi-clouds and security data lakes without needing to centralize data or rip and replace tools. Further, with our investments in AI-powered automation of detection-as-code to create, test, tune and deploy detections, SOC users can implement high-efficacy detection and hunting techniques without writing a single line of code nor manually wrangling data.
