Backend Team Lead - Scanner

Description

Ox Security secures the AI-driven SDLC from prompt to production. We eliminate critical, real-time risks from AI code generation through cloud runtime by doing what conventional tools can’t: unifying development and cloud context to stop vulnerabilities right at the source. At OX, we’re building the future of cybersecurity for the AI era. If you’re looking to work on disruptive technology with an amazing team, you belong here.

We’re growing fast and looking for a Backend Team Lead to join our Engineering team and play a key role in leading technical execution, driving engineering excellence, and helping our team deliver scalable, high-quality products.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role where you’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and customers, owning execution across multiple workstreams while helping shape technical decisions from initial design through production.

If you’re hands-on, technically strong, AI-driven, and passionate about developing people and building scalable systems, we’d love to meet you.
