From Endor Labs's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
This role is based in Palo Alto, California, and follows a hybrid work model. If you’re excited about helping build a large-scale SaaS platform at an early-stage company and the qualifications below align with your background, we’d love to connect!
Endor Labs is building the Application Security platform for the software development revolution. Modern software is complex and dependency-rich, making it increasingly difficult to pinpoint the risks that truly matter. Endor Labs solves this challenge by building a call graph of your entire software estate—enabling teams to clearly identify, prioritize, and fix critical risks faster.
Trusted by companies that are one or one hundred years old, Endor Labs secures code whether it was written by humans or AI, and whether it's 40-year old C++ code or cutting edge Bazel Monorepos. Endor Labs was founded by serial entrepreneurs Varun Badhwar and Dimitri Stiliadis, and is backed by leading VC firms such as Dell Technology Capital, Lightspeed, and Sierra Ventures.
Sound interesting? Let’s talk if you want to be part of the next big leap in security innovation!
We are looking for a Principal Member of Technical Staff to join our engineering organization as a cross-cutting technical leader.

Architect and evolve the core backend platform, including microservices, async processing pipelines, and data infrastructure.
Drive technical strategy and make high-impact design decisions that affect the entire product and engineering organization.
Design and build high-performance, reliable SaaS services that process security data at scale with low latency and high throughput.
Lead cross-team technical initiatives, collaborating with and through other senior engineers to ship complex features.
Mentor and elevate senior engineers through architecture reviews, design discussions, and hands-on pairing.
Partner with product leadership to shape the technical roadmap, balancing customer needs with long-term platform health.
Identify and resolve systemic performance bottlenecks, reliability risks, and technical debt across the stack.
Contribute directly to code in Go, working within our Kubernetes-based infrastructure backed by MongoDB and Postgres.
