Senior Backend Software Engineer

At Praetorian, our mission is to prevent breaches before they occur. We envision a world where cybersecurity is proactive, not reactive—where organizations shift from an "assume breach" mindset to a prevention-first strategy that keeps them ahead of evolving threats.

We deliver on that vision by hiring the top 1% of offensive security talent and empowering them to tackle the industry’s most complex security challenges. Our team of elite engineers operates at the forefront of adversary simulation, application security, cloud security, and beyond.

Through red team engagements, sophisticated attack simulations, and Chariot—our fully managed continuous threat exposure management platform—we help organizations stay in control of their dynamic attack surfaces. Our human-led, tech-enabled approach allows clients to uncover and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities before they can be leveraged by real-world threat actors.

If you’re drawn to technical excellence, continuous learning, and work that truly makes an impact, you’ll thrive at Praetorian.

At Praetorian, we don’t just hire for open roles—we seek out mission-driven security professionals who are passionate about outsmarting adversaries and preventing breaches before they happen. If you're drawn to uncovering the unknown, pushing technical boundaries, and making a real impact, you’ll be right at home here.

You’ll work alongside some of the best minds in the industry to help the world’s leading companies take control of their evolving attack surfaces. We thrive on bold thinking, technical excellence, and a shared commitment to building a more secure future.
