7AI is the foundational AI security company. Founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders Lior Div and Yonatan Striem-Amit, we came out of stealth in February 2025 to take on the non-human work of the SOC. Our platform pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents that detect, investigate, respond, and hunt, plus dedicated threat hunting and threat intelligence, with humans on the loop.
Backed by $166 million in total funding from investors including Index Ventures and Blackstone, we're building the AI foundation for security operations in the agentic era, and we're still early. That's the appeal: you'll join at a pivotal stage where your work shapes what 7AI becomes, alongside security veterans who've built this before. Our culture runs on respect, collaboration, and a shared bar for excellence, all pointed at one goal, delivering real outcomes for the customers who trust us to defend them.
OverviewAI agents that detect and respond to threats can't go down when customers need them most, and the infrastructure underneath has to hold up under that pressure. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll build and scale the core platform behind our AI-driven security products. You'll work closely with our AI, backend, and product teams to keep our systems performant, stable, and secure. You'll own key pieces of our cloud and service platform, automate what you can, and improve how we deliver, monitor, and scale critical applications. This role is for someone who wants to build reliable infrastructure and help teams ship faster with confidence.
