At Escape, we build an automated security scanning platform that analyzes real customer applications at scale and surfaces real-world, high-signal vulnerabilities . The challenge is not “run a scanner once”, it’s run millions of reliable, isolated, cost-efficient analysis tasks , across wildly different app behaviors, while keeping results accurate and production-grade.

You will lead the Security Scanners team and own a critical part of the platform: the systems that execute, scale, and operate our scanning workloads in production. You’ll work closely with Security Research, who bring detection logic and algorithms, and you’ll turn that into software that is fast, safe, observable, and maintainable.

Context

• Location : Paris (75002), 2 days remote/week

What you will do

This role combines engineering management with deep technical leadership . You will be accountable for both:

• Raising the bar of the team (mentorship, standards, execution)
• Designing and scaling the core backend systems that run scanners reliably and efficiently

Key Responsibilities:

• Team leadership & mentorship: Lead and mentor a small backend team (mid/junior), raise the bar on delivery, code quality, reviews, and engineering standards while staying hands-on on the hardest parts.
• Architecture & scalability: Architect, build, and scale the scanner execution platform/scheduling, isolation, resource governance, queueing/backpressure, and performance/cost predictability for high-throughput workloads (crawling, web automation, file/repo/API analysis).
• Production ownership: Own outcomes end-to-end in production: reliability, observability, incident response/postmortems, performance tuning, and systematic reduction of flakiness in long-running scans.

Tech Stack

• Languages: Python (primary), Go (performance/network-heavy components)

Perks

We respect your time and will make it quick and efficient.  The entire process will be completed within   1 week .
