Senior Backend Engineer (Telco Integration Lead) We are seeking a deeply technical and security-minded Senior Backend Engineer to join a newly-founded, high-impact AI joint venture. Backed by five of the world's leading telecommunications giants, our mission is to restore trust in global voice communication. This is not a standard Back End role. We are seeking a foundational engineer to own our single greatest strategic asset: our unique, privileged access to network-level intelligence via the GSMA CAMARA API standard. This is our right to win, and you will be the engineer responsible for building the bridge to it. You will be the Critical Path Owner for Track Zero, the 30-day foundational sprint to validate and integrate the first-ever CAMARA-based signals (like sim-swap and device-roaming-status) from our telco founders. Your success is the Go/No-Go gate for our MWC 2026 launch. You will be directly responsible for building the out-of-band data path that enables our flagship Telco-Verified Security Shield and its sub-500ms Time-to-Trust metric, our core differentiator that no over-the-top competitor can replicate. This position offers a unique opportunity to define a new category of network-aware security, working directly with the world's leading carriers to turn their network data into a Real Time defense against global fraud. Key Responsibilities Telco Integration & Architecture Own and build the Security Signal Ingestion path, the secure, low-latency, and out-of-band data channel connecting to our founding members' network API gateways. Architect and implement a carrier-agnostic, vendor-agnostic connector layer to consume RESTful APIs from a heterogeneous global landscape of telco partners and IMS vendors (eg, Nokia, Ericsson, Mavenir). Serve as the primary technical liaison to the engineering teams at our telco founders (Deutsche Telekom, Singtel, SKT, etc.), working hand-in-glove to navigate, validate, and productionize their new CAMARA network APIs. Design and build the high-throughput microservices that will query, ingest, normalize, and cache network signals (eg, sim-swap, device-roaming-status) to be used in our Real Time Scam_Score model. Implement a mandatory Zero Trust security model for this critical integration, our most sensitive asset. This includes mTLS, least-privilege IAM, and network micro-segmentation. System Ownership & Performance Serve as the Critical Path Owner for Track Zero, our 30-day sprint to validate and integrate Real Time signals from at least two telco partners, culminating in a Go/No-Go demo. Ensure all network API integrations meet the stringent P99 latency budgets (eg, < 150ms) required to support our sub-500ms Time-to-Trust product goal. Collaborate with the platform team to build a parallel development path using mocked data to mitigate risks of network API delays. Define and own the data contracts and pipelines that feed this "ground-truth" network data from the integration layer to our core AI Service Bus (Apache Kafka). Cross-functional Collaboration Work closely with the Scam Detection Service and AI/ML teams to define the feature vectors and data payloads needed from the network to power our proprietary machine learning models. Partner with product and leadership to define the Phase 2 (post-MWC) roadmap for co-developing new, proprietary network APIs (like Caller_Velocity from CDRs) that will become our long-term, indefensible moat. Document integration architectures, data schemas, and security controls to create setup guides for our Founding Member partners. Collaborate with our external InfoSec vendor to ensure the integration layer is continuously validated and hardened against threats. Required QualificationsEducation & Experience Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 7+ years of hands-on experience in Back End engineering, with a proven track record of building and maintaining high-performance, distributed systems in production. Required Technical Skills A minimum of 5 years of production experience with Go (Golang). Experience in other languages (eg, Python, Node.js) is valued, but will not replace this core Go requirement. Strong, demonstrable experiefnce with Real Time, low-latency data processing. You obsess over milliseconds and understand the trade-offs. Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization technologies (Kubernetes, Docker). Deep understanding of API design (REST, gRPC, Webhooks) and API security (OAuth 2.0, mTLS, JWTs). Knowledge of (or deep, demonstrable curiosity about) telecommunications protocols and architectures. You must be comfortable talking to network engineers. Experience with high-throughput messaging or streaming platforms (eg, Kafka, Pulsar). This is a permanent position with hybrid working of two days a week in the central London office and the rest WFH. The salary is very much Dependent on experience with a guide between £110k-£140K basic + package.

Implement robust authentication and authorization services (eg, Role-Based Access Control) for all internal and external APIs, ensuring strict adherence to the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). Implement industry-leading data security practices for handling highly sensitive PII and biometric data (voiceprints), ensuring end-to-end encryption for all data in transit (mTLS) and at rest (AES-256). Compliance-as-Code & Observability Collaborate with legal and product teams to translate complex global privacy laws (eg, Germany's GDPR, South Korea's PIPA, United Arab Emirates's PDPL) into concrete engineering logic. Build and maintain the Policy Engine that enables our platform to be jurisdiction-aware, dynamically managing data handling, consent flows, and feature-gating based on user location. Partner with the DevOps Engineer to create comprehensive logging, monitoring, and analytics systems (eg, using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) to provide deep visibility into platform health, security events, and business KPIs. Required Qualifications Education & Experience Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field. 5+ years of hands-on experience in Back End engineering, building and maintaining high-availability, scalable services in a production environment.
