We help individuals achieve this by helping them land their job, onboard at their companies, learn new skills, practice a speech, sales pitch or difficult conversation, and then take your Yoodli coach with you from one role to the next. For organizations, this means helping you upskill your entire workforce for the AI Future.\nWe’ve always believed in the human potential. In 2021, Esha and Varun started Yoodli as an AI communication coach - to help people communicate with confidence. Since then, our users have used Yoodli for so much more: to learn new concepts through AI Roleplays, practice different kinds of conversations (sales pitches, job interviews, manager conversations), and even use Yoodli as their personal coach to help them learn to use Gemini, Claude or other AI Tools. It’s why we expanded our technology to be the AI Platform for Human Skills.\nWho We Are\n Our team includes former employees from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Tableau, and beyond, united by a passion for empowering people using AI. We're headquartered in the heart of Seattle, and we're having a lot of fun along the way. Our culture is built on failing fast, iterating constantly, and taking bold bets. We value humility, authenticity, and a can-do-attitude.\nWe’re backed by Madrona, Neotribe the Allen Institute for AI, Cercano, and have raised over $60M to date.\nOur customers include Google, RingCentral, Databricks, Snowflake, Sandler Sales, Dale Carnegie, Toastmasters, and users in over 150 countries. We’ve been featured in Forbes, Fortune, WSJ, Geekwire, ZDNet, and several other outlets (www.yoodli.ai/press). You can try the platform for free at www.yoodli.ai and learn more about us in this TED Talk. \nAbout this team\nYou’ll operate as part of our Platform team, with a specific focus on cloud and operational security. You’ll work on problems including active monitoring and defenses, privilege escalation flows, secrets/key management, dependency and vulnerability management, BYOK capabilities, securing an AI product, and the engineering behind ensuring our enterprise customer data remain secure.\nThis is a dedicated security role - one that’ll extend into general backend and in-product engineering. You'll ship work alongside the rest of the team. You'll be the engineer who focuses on security improvements and changes, who partners with our security and compliance leadership, and who spots a trust boundary problem in a design review before it ships.\nBecause we're a startup, the surface is wide. You'll have real ownership and the chance to set the standard for how a company our size does this well.\nWhat you'll work on\nAuthentication, authorization, access controls\nData isolation and data loss prevention\nActive threat monitoring and defenses \nSecrets management, key rotation, and secure-by-default patterns other engineers build on\nVulnerability and dependency management\nAudit logging and the data plumbing behind customer security and privacy requirements\nWhat we're hoping you bring\nMission alignment: You believe in our vision and care deeply about helping people achieve more by communicating better\nBackend expertise: You have strong experience building scalable, reliable backend services that power great user experiences\nA security mindset: You think in terms of trust boundaries, blast radius, and failure modes without being asked to. You've been the person on a team who catches the thing everyone else missed\nPragmatism: You right-size solutions. Security that grinds the company to a halt isn't good security - you know how to pick the controls that matter and skip the theater\nCraft and quality: You hold yourself to a high bar for code quality and system design, and you make the engineers around you better\nAbout you\n5+ years of professional development experience, shipping production code\nStrong backend capabilities: you've owned services end-to-end and have a track record of delivering in fast-moving environments\nExperience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and Infrastructure as Code\nProficiency in TypeScript, Python, or equivalent languages - with the ability to debug complex distributed systems\nExperience applying security fundamentals in a professional environment, and the judgment to apply them proportionally\nClear communicator who works well across engineering, product, and compliance, and who gives and receives feedback well\nYou understand how your work connects to business outcomes and user impact\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience\nAbility to be on-site in our Seattle, WA office 3 days a week (M, T, Th)\nExtra credit experience\nBuilding in support of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or similar) as an engineer\nMulti-tenant SaaS at enterprise scale\nNoSQL databases and Kubernetes\nGoogle Cloud Platform\nResponding to enterprise security questionnaires or customer security reviews\nWhat's in it for you?\nHuge impact opportunity: Define technical strategy and build foundational systems at a fast-growing startup. Work directly with the founding team and shape the future of the AI platform for human skills\nCompetitive compensation: Significant equity opportunities at a venture-backed company\nBase compensation: $160k - $190k\nJoin a fun, inclusive and highly motivated team culture (and help define it!)","description_format":"text","description_chars":5372,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Security","Corporate Training","Conversational AI","Speech & Audio AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-09T22:05:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.833,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":54,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":190000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/yoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/yoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T18:18:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25567,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":14031},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=14031"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fyoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fyoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/yoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyoodli-senior-software-engineer-backend-product-cloud-security"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":580949}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yoodli.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":580949},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
