Job description

About Us

Nebulock is an agentic threat hunting platform that autonomously surfaces behaviors, not just IOCs, from various data sources. Nebulock acts like a teammate: a 24/7 AI threat hunter that investigates hypotheses, reasons through telemetry, and learns from an environment. Today, threat hunting is broken. Security teams spend weeks chasing alerts, writing detections by hand, and manually validating findings often just to confirm what their existing tools already flagged. Meanwhile, attackers exploit credentials, move laterally, and operate in silence. Nebulock flips the model. We continuously and autonomously hunt across endpoint, identity, and cloud telemetry. We identify the subtle behavioral signals that point to credential misuse, lateral movement, insider threats, and post-access activity. Then we turn those hunts into hardened, behavior-based detections automatically.

Position Overview

As a Backend Engineer at Nebulock, you will own the core systems that form the foundation upon which Nebulock is built. You’ll co-own the data ingestion, transformation, and search layers that power threat hunting and detection engineering workflows for our customers. We currently ingest terabytes of data per day. This role is ideal for engineers who love bringing clarity and order to messy, disparate, and large-scale datasets.
