Vedric is an early-stage cybersecurity company building an insider risk
platform powered by behavioral analysis. Our platform helps organizations
detect abnormal user and system activity early, before threats escalate and
data is lost. We're redefining how companies approach insider threat
detection, giving security teams the visibility and early signals they need to
act fast.
**Role Description**
This is a full-time remote role for a Founding Engineer at Vedric. You will be
the first engineering hire working on an already built and functioning
insider-risk detection platform. Your role is to take the existing system and
evolve it into a scalable, production-ready product.
This includes improving and extending the detection engine, strengthening
backend architecture, scaling infrastructure, and refining data pipelines. You
will work directly with the founder to shape the product, make key technical
decisions, and define engineering standards as the company grows. As the team
expands, you will take on a leadership role and help build and manage the
engineering function.
**What You’ll Do**
Own and evolve the existing detection platform, improving reliability,
performance, and scalability across the system.
Work on the behavioral detection engine, refining how telemetry is processed,
baselined, and turned into alerts.
Optimize and scale data ingestion pipelines handling high-volume endpoint
telemetry and real-time event processing.
Improve and extend backend APIs and data models that power the analyst-facing
dashboard.
Strengthen infrastructure and deployment systems to support multi-tenant
environments and production workloads.
Identify gaps, edge cases, and failure points in the current system, and
implement robust solutions.
Collaborate directly with the founder to prioritize features, refine detection
logic, and shape the product roadmap.
Act as the technical face of Vedric when needed, explaining system design,
tradeoffs, and architecture in a clear and practical way.
Operate with high ownership in an early-stage environment, making decisions
across backend, infrastructure, and product.
Help establish engineering standards, workflows, and the foundation for future
hires.
**Qualifications**
Strong proficiency in backend development, system architecture, and Python.
Experience designing and building scalable systems that handle high-volume
data in real time. Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably
AWS, GCP, or Azure, including deploying and managing production systems.
Experience building backend services and APIs that support data-driven
applications. Familiarity with designing and developing dashboards or analyst-
facing interfaces is preferred.
Understanding of data modeling, event-driven architectures, and streaming
systems is a plus. Solid understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals, secure
application development, and data protection. Familiarity with anomaly
detection, behavioral analytics, or UEBA is a strong plus.
Ability to take full ownership of problems and ship end to end without hand
holding. Strong problem solving skills and attention to detail. Comfortable
operating in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment with high autonomy
and ambiguity.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts
clearly. Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally and contributing to
product and architectural decisions.
Prior experience at a security company or early-stage startup is a plus.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cyber Security
or equivalent practical experience.
**What We Offer**
Meaningful founding level equity with a 4 year vest and 1 year cliff.
Competitive base salary. Founding Engineer title. Remote first, async friendly
work environment. Direct access to the founder and full ownership of technical
decisions. Clear path to Head of Engineering or VP of Engineering as the
company scales.
