REMOTE PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Pubblicato il 01-08-2026 - Exein in Italia
The physical and digital worlds are merging. Vehicles, medical devices, industrial systems, critical infrastructure: security hasn't kept pace. AI is accelerating everything, from the capabilities of the systems we depend on to the sophistication of the threats targeting them. A software vulnerability can now have physical consequences. A physical breach can compromise entire digital ecosystems. Billions of devices operate with little to no protection, and traditional approaches can't keep up. Not at this scale, not at this speed, and not across this diversity of systems.
Exein exists to solve this. We build the security layer for a world where physical and digital threats are no longer separate problems, from kernel-level runtime protection on embedded devices to cloud-native platforms that analyze, protect, and prove compliance across entire device fleets. We're not patching the old model. We're building security from the core out.
Job Overview
As a Principal Software Engineer , you will help shape the technical direction of our cybersecurity platform:
a distributed system that secures devices and infrastructure across the physical-digital boundary, from embedded systems to the cloud.
You’ll lead the architecture of high-performance backend services and APIs in Rust, setting the standard for security, scalability, and reliability across the platform. Reporting directly to the CTO, you’ll work in close contact with product, infrastructure, and security teams to drive key design decisions, mentor engineers, and contribute to the next generation of cybersecurity products for an AI-native world.
This is a foundational role. The decisions you make will directly determine what we can build and how fast we can move.
