Lead

About the role

  • Build product capabilities across application security, security operations, and agent security
  • Turn real security workflows into product experiences and platform primitives
  • Design systems that ingest, correlate, triage, and act on security signals
  • Help define safe patterns for agents, tools, permissions, memory, and execution boundaries
  • Identify hidden risks and failure modes that only someone with real security experience would see
  • Partner with product and engineering to make strong tradeoffs between speed, usability, and security
  • Contribute to evaluation, testing, observability, and guardrails for agentic behavior
  • Raise the team’s overall understanding of security architecture, operations, and AI risk

Requirements

  • Deep experience in one or more of: security engineering, application security, detection engineering, incident response, security operations, or security platform engineering
  • Strong hands-on experience building and shipping software—you write code, not just review it
  • The ability to reason clearly in ambiguous spaces and surface risks early
  • Highly valued but learnable here: Experience with AI/LLM application architecture, agent frameworks, or orchestration systems
  • Product judgment—translating messy technical workflows into usable product decisions
  • Comfort working across technical and non-technical teams
Benefits
  • Remote work options
