Who we are

Qevlar AI is revolutionizing the SOC with autonomous investigation and, in doing so, solving three key problems for analysts: the cybersecurity talent shortage, alert fatigue, and increasingly complex and sophisticated threats.

Founded in 2023, we’ve already made waves in cybersecurity, AI, and start-up communities. A few highlights:

• Raised $14M in funding led by EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital

• Accepted into Station F’s flagship AI program (Meta, Hugging Face, Scaleway)

• Named by Sifted (Financial Times) as one of Europe’s cybersecurity startups to watch

• Joined Platform 58, La Banque Postale’s premier startup incubator

• Ranked among the top 10 most innovative startups in France by EU-Startups

• Secured early partnerships with major players across EMEA, NAMER, and MENA

• We have some exciting (and impressive) early customers we’re really excited about.

We’re at a pivotal stage — building fast, growing smart, and bringing on sharp minds to shape the future of autonomous cyber defense.

What will you do?

You’ll play a critical role in evolving our core web platform — both frontend and backend — with a focus on performance, API design, and product integrations. This is a backend-heavy role with a full-stack flavor.

In your first 6 months:

• Backend Scalability & API Performance

  • Refactor REST APIs to reduce over-fetching and inefficient database calls

  • Push async processing across high-latency parts of the stack

  • Introduce structured pagination, connection pooling, or background jobs
    
    

• Database Modeling & Architecture

  • Enhance scalability and maintainability

  • Debug, refactor, and optimize slow queries
    
    

• Integrations & Observability

  • Hook up tools like PostHog, Mixpanel, and Sentry for better product & tech insight

  • Build integrations with external APIs for internal tools or client-facing features

Who we’re looking for

Must-haves

• Deep experience with PostgreSQL and relational design

• Strong Python developer with experience using SQLAlchemy

• Skilled in designing efficient, scalable REST APIs

• Knowledge of security best practices (JWT, SSO, OWASP top 10)

• Frontend experience with Vue.js (or another SPA framework)

Nice-to-haves

• Query performance ninja — can explain indexing, execution plans, JOIN optimisation, and caches

• Solid CSS skills (flexbox, CSS variables, utility-first frameworks)

• Comfort with frontend responsiveness, UX, and styling polish

What success looks like

• Noticeably faster frontend performance

• Cleaner, more maintainable APIs and schemas

• Improved monitoring and external tool integrations

• Seamless collaboration with other engineers and product folks

• Tangible impact on platform features and user experience

Why join Qevlar AI?

• Work on meaningful problems with real-world impact in cybersecurity

• Join a small, fast-moving team where you’ll own your work

• Shape the future of a product already making noise in AI + security circles

• Opportunity for equity and early ownership

• Remote-first with flexibility on location

Hiring process

1. Intro Call

2. Technical Interview; backend and API experience — performance, schema design, and code style

3. Case Study: past project or live solve a backend architecture or optimization problem

4. Meet the Team
