About Guard Owl
Guard Owl is revolutionizing security operations with agentic AI that automates dispatch, scheduling, and incident reporting- cutting out manual work for security companies. Backed by top investors and a leading accelerator, we’re already streamlining workflows for property managers and security providers. Join us to build the AI platform defining the next generation of security.
What You’ll Do
Own the end-to-end design and launch of our new agentic AI backend (AI agents)
Integrate OpenAI APIs and build prompt-chaining pipelines for incident summarization, scheduling suggestions and route optimization
Develop event-driven microservices (Node.js/TypeScript) that power workflows and deep-link into Google Maps, payroll APIs, analytics, etc.
Ensure rock-solid performance, security (RBAC, encryption) and reliability (zero-downtime deploys, observability)
What We’re Looking For
5+ years building production backend services in Node.js/TypeScript or Python
Hands-on experience with OpenAI APIs or comparable LLM integrations
Deep understanding of REST/GraphQL microservices, event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, etc.), and cloud infra (AWS/GCP)
Strong data skills (Postgres, MongoDB geo-queries, Redis caching)
Bias toward action, ownership mentality—this is your platform to build from scratch
