About Index Engines

At Index Engines, we’re all about helping companies bounce back from cyber threats and trust their data again — no matter what hits them.

Our flagship solution, CyberSense, delivers 99.99% accuracy in detecting data corruption, helping organizations recover quickly from ransomware attacks. We partner with awesome industry leaders like Dell Technologies, IBM, Lenovo/Infinidat, and Hitachi Vantara to power AI-driven cyber recovery across both primary and backup storage.

We’re a growing, tech-forward company with a startup feel and an enterprise-level impact. We take our mission seriously — but not ourselves. Expect a team that’s collaborative, curious, and loves solving hard problems together.

The Role

Index Engines has an outstanding career opportunity for mid to senior level Software Engineers for our San Jose, CA office. The ideal candidate will develop, maintain, and support software for the Index Engines’ Linux application and will work closely with the Index Engines’ Support Organization to resolve customer issues.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build distributed systems that are scalable, reliable, and secure
  • Guide technical discussions and help shape architectural decisions
  • Develop and maintain backend services, APIs, and platform components
  • Collaborate closely with Product, QA, DevOps, and Security teams
  • Enhance system performance, visibility, and resilience
  • Write clear, maintainable, and well-tested code
  • Contribute to code reviews and support the growth of junior engineers
  • Promote strong practices in development, CI/CD, and testing
  • Investigate and resolve production issues to maintain high availability

What You Bring

  • 4–7 years of professional experience in software engineering
  • Strong skills in C and Python
  • Experience with high-availability systems, clustering, or distributed storage/backup solutions
  • Familiarity with Agile or Scrum workflows
  • Hands-on experience with distributed systems and microservices
  • Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design
  • Experience developing RESTful APIs and backend services
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Strong problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills

We'd Love It If You Have

  • Experience with tools like SVN, Git, Jira, Confluence, or Bitbucket
  • Comfort using GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) in development workflows
  • Experience administering Linux systems
  • Familiarity with backup technologies and database systems
  • Exposure to VMFS/SCSI development
  • Understanding of communication protocols
  • Basic knowledge of server hardware and networking
  • A Master’s degree in computer science or a related field

Why You'll Love Working Here

At Index Engines, you’ll join a team that’s equal parts smart, supportive, and a little nerdy (in the best way possible). We move fast, collaborate often, and celebrate wins big and small.

You’ll have the freedom to experiment, make decisions, and actually see the impact of your work. We’re proud of what we build — and we like having fun while we do it.

If you’re looking for a place where you can lead with vision, grow with purpose, and work with people who genuinely enjoy what they do, you’ll fit right in.

  • Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k)
  • Opportunities for professional development and certification support
  • Collaborative team environment with a mission-driven culture
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Hybrid work schedule with WFH on Mondays and Fridays in our San Jose, CA location
