Backend Engineer - Remote Iberia & Southern Europe

About

Linro is a cloud security company building a real-time, agentic cloud-security platform. Teams ship with AI. AI ships with Linro.

Cloud infrastructure changes constantly, and increasingly it's AI agents making those changes, not people. Most security tools only catch problems after the fact. Linro works differently. We enforce what's allowed at every stage, from commit to production. We stop bad changes before they ship, and fix problems in real time once they're live.

We have each been on the receiving end of this problem: running cloud security at scale, building the platforms underneath it, and shipping in regulated systems where a wrong change isn't an option. Founded in Berlin in 2026 and built fully remote across Europe, Linro has a platform that's real and working, with plenty still to shape.

The role

You would be one of our first engineers, building alongside the founding team. At the heart of the product is a stream-first policy engine that evaluates compliance as SQL across past, present and future infrastructure state. It has to be fast, correct and impossible to route around. You'd own large parts of it outright.

What you will do

• Design and build core backend services in Go that evaluate policy against cloud infrastructure changes in real time.
• Take a core area of the platform and own it end to end, from first design through running it in production.
• Build the simulation and enforcement path that blocks or auto-remediates non-compliant changes before they reach production.
• Stay close to customers, see how your work lands in the real world, and fold what you learn back into the product.

What we are looking for

• Strong backend engineering experience in a compiled, statically typed language (Go, Rust, Java, C++, C#, or similar).
• You know SQL well and think naturally in relational and columnar data models.
• A product mindset with a focus on user needs and problem-solving.
• A problem-to-solution instinct to simplify and ship solutions.
• End-to-end ownership from design through production and operation.
• Hands-on experience operating and running at least one major cloud (AWS, GCP or Azure).
• Hands-on with Terraform or Pulumi, and an understanding of infrastructure-as-code.
• Experience with AI coding tools in your workflow.

Nice to have

• Background in cloud or cyber security, CSPM, CNAPP, or compliance.
• Experience building policy or rule engines.
• Experience with high-availability, scaling, and event-driven system design.
• Production experience running Kubernetes clusters.
• Early-stage startup experience or having been a founding engineer.

How we work

We are 100% remote across Europe and hire anywhere within roughly two hours of Central European Time (CEST). We get the whole team together in person somewhere in Europe once a quarter for a few days. We work async by default, write things down, and protect people's focus time.

What we offer

• Real ownership of the product with direct contact with users.
• Meaningful equity as an early employee.
• Competitive salary, benchmarked to the market.
• A quarterly European offsite.
