What You’ll Do
Across the Role
- Build defensive automation: Design, build, and improve AI-driven security tooling, with the testing, safeguards, and human oversight you’d expect of production systems.
- Threat-model: Assess new and existing systems for risk, and use those models to decide where detection and remediation effort goes.
- Respond to incidents: Join the response rotation for critical vulnerabilities and security events, from assessing exposure through remediation.
- Measure and communicate: Track how well our security work is performing, and explain risks and tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Find unknown weaknesses: Proactively hunt for previously unknown weaknesses using both automated and manual techniques, in a safe and controlled way.
- Validate findings: Confirm and reproduce findings, and feed what you learn back into the automation to make it better.
- Run vulnerability management at scale: Triage, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities, automating as much of the process as you can.
- Turn threat information into priorities: Bring threat intelligence and external advisories into decisions about what gets fixed first.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong software engineering skills, with production code in at least one modern language
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs or AI agents
- Solid application security and cloud security fundamentals
- Experience running threat models
- Calm, structured judgment during incidents
- Research: Vulnerability research, offensive security or red teaming, exploit development, CVE credits, or bug bounty work
- Operations: Vulnerability management at scale, detection and response, security automation, or software supply-chain security
- Threat intelligence experience
- Experience in highly regulated industries
- Experience securing multi-tenant SaaS
