At Escape, we build an automated security scanning platform that analyzes real customer applications at scale and surfaces high-signal, real-world vulnerabilities.
The challenge is not “run a scanner once.”
It’s running millions of reliable, isolated, cost-efficient analysis tasks across widely different application behaviors while keeping results accurate and production-grade.
We are looking for a Mid-level Backend Software Engineer to join the Security Scanners team.
You will work on the core systems that execute, scale, and operate our scanning workloads in production. You’ll collaborate closely with Security Research, who design detection logic, and turn that into robust, maintainable, high-performance software.
Context
What you will do
You will contribute directly to the design, implementation, and operation of the systems that power our scanning engine in production.
You will be expected to:
Build and evolve backend systems that execute and orchestrate scanning workloads at scale
Improve reliability, isolation, and reproducibility of long-running scans
Design clean, maintainable abstractions around scanner execution and resource management
Optimize performance and cost efficiency of distributed workloads
Systematically reduce flakiness in browser-based and network-heavy scans
Partner with Security Research to integrate detection logic into production-ready components
Contribute to observability, monitoring, and incident resolution in production
Key Responsibilities:
Backend Engineering: Design and implement production-grade backend services with strong attention to readability, testability, and maintainability.
Scalability & Concurrency: Build systems that handle high-throughput, queue-driven workloads with predictable performance.
Tech Stack
Languages: Python (primary), Go (performance/network-heavy components)
Perks
🤓 1 meeting with the HR representative - 30 minutes
💻 1 Coding challenge - 1 hour
🤔 1 System Design with the Technical Lead - 1 hour
👀 1 Technical Deep Dive interview the CTO - 30 minutes
🚀 1 Impact & Ownership interview with the CEO - 30 minutes
