Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel Backslash Security Full time ₪120,000 - ₪180,000 per year

Who We Are

At Backslash, we're building the future of application security for the "vibe coding" era—the most significant shift in software development in decades. While AI coding environments like Cursor and Windsurf are powerful, they also introduce new, unknown risks into the software supply chain. We empower developers and security teams to ride this wave with confidence.

Our comprehensive approach provides visibility and governance of IDEs, finding MCP and LLM risks with built-in rules and controls that transparently ensure AI-generated code is secure. This creates transparent guardrails for developers without hindering their flow. We do this with our App Graph, the underlying technology that analyzes and models code from all sources—human or AI, custom or third-party—to provide a unified, contextual, and actionable approach to security. Our solution is purely agentless and deploys in minutes.

  • Embrace AI: Champion an AI-first approach to development and problem-solving, leveraging new tools and processes to supercharge your team's productivity and impact.

The Profile: What You'll Bring

We're looking for more than a CV; we're looking for a leader who lives and breathes our mission. You're not just a team member—you're a co-owner of the solution.
