We are looking for a high-autonomy Senior Engineer to join our hybrid squad. You will be a core contributor to our API Security suite, moving seamlessly across the stack from frontend interfaces to complex backend data pipelines. In a distributed team spanning India, Israel, and Europe, you aren't just writing code; you are designing secure, scalable systems and communicating complex ideas across borders.

• Cross-Continental Collaboration: Experience working for a global startup or a product-based company where the headquarters were in a different country.

• Full-Stack Fluency: Ability to jump into the frontend React when the squad needs to ship a complete end-to-end feature.
