Endor Labs is building the Application Security platform for the software development revolution. Modern software is complex and dependency-rich, making it increasingly difficult to pinpoint the risks that truly matter. Endor Labs solves this challenge by building a call graph of your entire software estate—enabling teams to clearly identify, prioritize, and fix critical risks faster.
Trusted by companies that are one or one hundred years old, Endor Labs secures code whether it was written by humans or AI, and whether it's 40-year old C++ code or cutting edge Bazel Monorepos. Endor Labs was founded by serial entrepreneurs Varun Badhwar and Dimitri Stiliadis, and is backed by leading VC firms such as Dell Technology Capital, Lightspeed, and Sierra Ventures.

We are looking for a Principal Member of Technical Staff to join our engineering organization as a cross-cutting technical leader. This is a pure individual contributor role with significant architectural influence. You will work across teams to tackle our hardest backend scaling, reliability, and security product challenges.
As a Principal MTS, you will set technical direction, drive architecture evolution, and raise the bar for engineering quality across the organization. You will partner closely with engineering leadership, product, and other senior technologists to translate business and customer needs into scalable, high-performance systems.
This role is ideal for someone who has built and scaled security products before, thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, and has the rare combination of deep backend expertise and strong product instincts.
Bonus Points
We’re building at the intersection of developer productivity and security — one of the fastest-growing spaces in software. Our dev-loved platform has real ROI, strong momentum, and customers who care about doing things right.
At Endor Labs, we think big, start small, and learn fast. We take ownership, move with purpose, and always start with the customer’s success. We debate with data, make the complex simple, and challenge each other with kindness and candor. We celebrate wins, learn from misses, and have fun along the way — because when our customers win, we all win.
Endor Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Even if you don't fit every requirement above, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, so we encourage all talented individuals to apply—there's no one-size-fits-all here.
