Job description
Skyflow secures the flow of data across datastores, models, and agents. Enterprises turn to Skyflow as their runtime AI data control layer to protect sensitive data, enable safe AI deployment, and unlock full value from their applications, data platforms, and AI systems.
Skyflow is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises, and leading SaaS companies in financial services, healthcare, retail, travel and hospitality.
Skyflow is headquartered in Palo Alto, California and was founded in 2019. For more information, visit www.skyflow.com or follow on X and LinkedIn.
About the role:
As a Backend Software Engineer you will be responsible for developing a state-of-the-art SaaS solution that enables enterprises to govern and protect their sensitive data.

Proficient in one or more programming languages like Go (preferred), Java, C, C++, Python
Experience in performance engineering: developing high-throughput, low-latency systems
Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, scalability, and distributed systems
Privacy, authorization/authentication engineering is a huge plus
Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development
Proven track record of delivering cloud-native distributed SaaS platforms at scale, and with a meaningful adoption
Traits such as being a fast learner, adaptable to changing landscape and most importantly a strong believer in being hands-on
You will:
Responsible for designing and developing Privacy APIs and backend infrastructure to support large-scale data and privacy workflows
Contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale
Participate in building and implementing effective test strategies and developing software with high-agility and zero downtime
