# Senior Backend Engineer [Zipher](https://gurify.com/jobs?q=Zipher) · Tel Aviv, Israel · Posted yesterday Senior [Backend](https://gurify.com/jobs/backend) [Apply on the original posting → (opens in a new tab)](https://www.comeet.com/jobs/zipher/4B.00C/senior-backend-engineer/26.073) ## Job description Zipher is pioneering the Autonomous Execution Layer for Cloud Data & AI Workloads. Our platform dynamically orchestrates clusters, predicts workload bottlenecks, scales resources in real time, and auto-heals infrastructure anomalies—with zero human intervention. Operating in live production across global enterprise environments, Zipher delivers mission-critical resilience, sub-second optimization, and true zero-touch infrastructure. ### Why Join Us - Scale-Up Velocity, Core Team Ownership: Backed by top-tier VCs ($50M+ raised), millions in ARR, and live Fortune 500 deployments, we combine scale-up stability with the architecture ownership, high-velocity engineering, and significant equity upside of an early-stage core team. - Elite Engineering Culture: Founded by veterans of elite IDF tech units and distributed systems leaders, we tackle deep infrastructure challenges: low latency, high throughput, and autonomous control planes. ### Key Responsibilities - Architect and scale high-throughput, low-latency backend engines executing real-time autonomous infrastructure decisions. - Design resilient spot-loss mitigation and self-healing systems ensuring zero downtime across enterprise-grade cloud environments. - Expand our ML-driven orchestration core to support complex AI training/inference workloads and distributed data pipelines. - Solve complex distributed state challenges across massive scale, event streams, and real-time telemetry. - Build explainability and telemetry layers that give enterprise engineering leadership full visibility into autonomous platform actions. ### What We Offer - Top-of-Market Compensation: Top-of-band base salary tailored to elite senior talent in the Israeli tech ecosystem. - Significant Equity: Meaningful early-stage equity grants positioned above market standard. - Pure Technical Impact: High agency, zero bureaucracy, and direct influence over the platform's core architecture. Ready to build the future of autonomous cloud infrastructure? ### Hit Apply ### Requirements ### Requirements - 6+ years of dedicated backend engineering experience, with a heavy focus on core product architecture, distributed systems, or infrastructure. - Production mastery of Python or Go as your primary development language. - Deep, hands-on production expertise with AWS at scale (e.g., EMR, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Lambda, S3, API Gateway). - Proven background in distributed computing or infrastructure engines (Kubernetes, Spark, high-throughput schedulers, or distributed message brokers). - Strong production ownership mindset: Experience debugging complex production issues, maintaining high availability, and shipping robust system fixes. ### Preferred Qualifications - Deep experience with large-scale Data/Compute platforms (Spark, Databricks, Trino, Flink, or Snowflake). - Hands-on exposure to MLOps / AIOps infrastructure or serving ML models in production. - Background in cloud cost optimization, FinOps, or workload efficiency at scale. - Prior service as a Software/Backend Engineer in an elite IDF technology unit (8200, Mamram, Ofek, etc.). **Live in Zipher’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 [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-fullpath-073973bde66c) Fullpath · Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel · last week - BL [Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/backend-engineer-at-blinkops-a57a48b25240) Blinkops · Tel-Aviv, Israel · last week - CO [Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/backend-engineer-at-coralogix-a75620a8a373) Coralogix · Ramat Gan, Israel · yesterday - FU [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-fullpath-bb3d31e2cbc7) Fullpath · Jerusalem, Israel · last week - RU [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-rubrik-f0137430ff98) Rubrik · Tel Aviv, Israel · 5 days ago - PO [Senior Backend Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-backend-engineer-at-port-4c6ecf143d10) Port · Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel · 3 weeks ago ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Backend Engineer","description":"\u003Cp\u003EZipher is pioneering the Autonomous Execution Layer for Cloud Data \u0026amp; AI Workloads.
