[Hiring] AI/ML Software Engineer @Blackpoint Cyber

Role Description

Join a new engineering team built under the SVP, Engineering & AI/ML to accelerate Blackpoint Cyber's ML/AI capability. As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll build back-end systems and data pipelines within established architecture, working cross-functionally and growing your applied ML and Generative AI skills under the SVP's direct mentorship.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain back-end services (Python, Node.js/Go) on Kubernetes within established architectural patterns.
• Contribute to GenAI workflows.
• Contribute to data pipelines supporting AI/ML workflows, exercising judgment within defined engineering practices.
• Build and consume APIs (REST, GraphQL, or gRPC) for secure, scalable services.
• Collaborate with senior engineers on design decisions; take on new assignments with general guidance rather than owning architecture calls solo.
• Participate in code review and cross-functional project work under senior engineer or team lead direction.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of back-end software engineering experience.
• Python required. Familiarity with TypeScript and/or Java.
• Experience with microservices on Kubernetes.
• Solid understanding of database design across SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB).
• Working knowledge of ML/AI concepts and workflows — we're open to strong back-end engineers earlier in their ML journey, with growth in this area actively supported through direct mentorship from the SVP, Engineering & AI/ML.
• Understanding of back-end security fundamentals (API security, auth/authz basics).
• Comfortable in an Agile environment.

NICE TO HAVE

• Cloud infrastructure (AWS); data streaming basics (Kafka, Spark).
• Exposure to LLM/agentic AI tooling.
• Cybersecurity, IoT, or NLP domain experience (not required).

Benefits

• Competitive Health, Vision, Dental, and Life Insurance plans.
• Robust 401k plan.
• Discretionary Time Off.
• Other minor perks.
