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.
OverviewAs 7AI takes on more of the SOC's non-human work, the systems underneath have to scale with it, or the platform becomes the bottleneck instead of the fix. You'll join our core R&D team as a Senior Software Architect, helping define and evolve the technical foundation of our platform as we scale. You'll work across engineering, product, and AI teams, designing systems that are reliable, scalable, and ready to use new AI tooling. As a senior individual contributor, you'll shape architecture, guide key technical decisions, and turn complex ideas into production-ready systems.
