# Senior AI Applications Backend Engineer [Cognyte](https://gurify.com/jobs?q=Cognyte) · Herzliya, Israel · Posted yesterday Senior [Backend](https://gurify.com/jobs/backend) [AI & ML](https://gurify.com/jobs/ai-ml) [Apply on the original posting → (opens in a new tab)](https://www.comeet.com/jobs/cognyte/F2.009/senior-ai-applications-backend-engineer/6D.17E) ## Job description Today’s world is crime-riddled. Criminals are everywhere, invisible, virtual, and sophisticated. Traditional ways to prevent and investigate crime and terror are no longer enough… Technology is changing incredibly fast. The criminals know it, and they are taking advantage. We know it too. For nearly 30 years, the incredible minds at Cognyte around the world have worked closely together and put their expertise to work, to keep up with constantly evolving technological and criminal trends and help make the world a safer place with leading investigative analytics software solutions. We are defined by our dedication to doing good and this translates to business success, meaningful work friendships, a can-do attitude, and deep curiosity. We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to design, architect, and scale the core software foundation powering our next-gen GenAI Co-Pilot and Decision Flows. Working hand-in-hand with our Data Science team, you will take full ownership of critical components, bridge the gap between advanced AI models and production systems, and deliver high-performance, secure, and scalable solutions that drive real-world impact. ### As a Cognyter, you will: - Build platforms that consolidate complex data to help analysts make critical, real-world decisions. - Partner with AI Data Science and Product teams to deliver sophisticated investigative tools. - Ensure high-quality standards for software that directly impact global safety and investigative outcomes. - Mentor engineers and serve as a go‑to person for problem solving. - Join a team that fears no technology and constantly tests the boundaries of investigative power. ### Requirements ### For this mission, you’ll need: - At least 6 years’ hands-on development experience, with proven experience developing in Java. - Hands-on experience building microservices in cloud (preferably GCP/AWS/Azure) environments using cloud native technologies (such as: Kubernetes, Docker). - Experience in designing and implementing large-scale distributed systems using technologies such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar. - Experience with both relational (preferably PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL databases (such as: MongoDB). - Experience with building products integrating AI/ML engines and agentic workflows (hands-on experience - an advantage). - Proven experience owning high-velocity production, building resilient systems that ship fast while maintaining absolute stability. - Good interpersonal and communication skills (working with global teams – an advantage). - BSc in Software Engineering, or equivalent (an advantage). **Live in Cognyte’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role. We remove it as soon as it disappears at source. ## More jobs like this - FU [Mid-Level Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/mid-level-backend-engineer-at-fullpath-04a319f827da) Fullpath · Jerusalem, Israel · 3 days ago - RU [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-rubrik-f0137430ff98) Rubrik · Tel Aviv, Israel · last week - PE [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-pentera-396a02c91110) Pentera · Tel Aviv, Israel · 4 days ago - ZI [Senior Core Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-core-backend-engineer-at-zipher-1c2abb2829c8) Zipher · Tel Aviv, Israel · 4 days ago - CO [Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/backend-engineer-at-coralogix-a75620a8a373) Coralogix · Ramat Gan, Israel · last week - ZI [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-zipher-67f9412ac529) Zipher · Tel Aviv, Israel · last week ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior AI Applications Backend Engineer","description":"\u003Cp\u003EToday\u2019s world is crime-riddled.
