About The Position

At 360 Privacy, we build platforms that protect executives and organizations from digital risk. Our systems map identity, access, and exposure across people, systems, and data, and turn that into actionable protection. We’re looking for a Staff Backend Engineer to design and own core backend systems that power our platform. This is a hands-on IC role focused on building durable, scalable systems in Python alongside other senior and staff engineers. You’ll work on foundational backend services that other teams depend on. Architecture decisions are made collaboratively with your peers; you’ll contribute meaningfully to how we design and evolve the platform, not just execute within it. This role has real architectural leverage. You will design systems that define how the company builds for years to come.
