Job description

Junior Full-Stack Engineer (Product & Platform) – Paris Office

Location: Paris (75002), 2 days remote per week

Company: Escape – Leading AI Cybersecurity

Compensation: 55-75k + 0.05% BSPCE (stock options)

Our Team: 21 Engineers, 4 Technical Leads, 4 Squads

About Escape

Escape is offensive security for the teams that are 100x outnumbered. We build AI agents that find and exploit vulnerabilities in modern applications, APIs, and microservices: the way a real attacker would, but at the speed of a CI pipeline.

We're a Y Combinator W23 company. We just closed an $18M Series A in March 2026 led by Balderton Capital (with Uncorrelated Ventures, IRIS, and YC following on). Our customers and partners include Zoom, Schibsted, Wiz, Pandadoc, and a growing list of teams who've stopped pretending annual pen tests are enough. We're 40 people split between Paris and NYC, scaling to 80 in the next 12 months.

The product surface is real: ASM, business-logic-aware DAST, and AI Pentesting GA-ing this year. The competitive thesis is that LLMs collapsed the cost of offensive engineering by 1000x, and the companies that ship that capability into production first will own the next decade of the category. We're betting we're those companies.

About The Role

Your work will help shape the core of Escape’s products. As a Junior Full-Stack Engineer, you’ll work closely with senior engineers and technical leads to deliver features and improvements across the product. This is a great learning opportunity for someone early in their engineering career who wants to dive into AI-powered cybersecurity, work across the stack, and see the impact of their work in production.

What You’ll Do

• Develop on both frontend (Svelte + TypeScript) and backend (Node.js, GraphQL, Prisma, PostgreSQL) parts of the product under the mentorship of experienced engineers
• Collaborate on delivering new features and improving the user experience for security teams
• Help maintain and enhance the data model supporting our security products
• Participate in evolving our API and integrating new AI research into real product features
• Learn best practices for database query optimization, pagination, and performance
• Contribute to the user-facing surfaces by helping build intuitive workflows and dashboards
