Our client is an AI company building autonomous agents for enterprise customers. Their agents handle sensitive customer data and take real actions inside business-critical software, so security sits at the center of how the product earns trust and wins larger accounts.
This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role with a direct line to engineering leadership. You will shape the security architecture for the agent platform and write much of the code that enforces it.
What You'll Do
- Own the threat model and security roadmap for the agent platform
- Design and build controls that limit what agents can do, including permissions, approvals, and sandboxed execution
- Develop secure identity, credential, and data handling across services and tenants
- Harden application packaging, updates, and release processes
- Write security-focused tests, investigate vulnerabilities, and lead incident response engineering
- Partner with product engineers and support customers through security reviews
Requirements
What You Bring
- Strong software engineering background: production systems you personally designed, built, and shipped
- Solid CS fundamentals: algorithms, concurrency, operating systems, and systems design
- Hands-on security engineering: authorization, secrets management, process isolation, or network security
- Comfort debugging across backend services and operating system layers
- Clear thinking on AI-specific risks such as prompt injection and untrusted model output
- Ability to prioritize and own outcomes in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment
Nice to Have
- Python, TypeScript, or Rust
- Desktop application or endpoint security experience
- Experience with AI agents, agent tooling, or developer tools
- Enterprise identity, on-prem, or restricted-network deployments
Why is This a Great Opportunity
- Tackle new, high-impact problems in AI agent security
- Set the security architecture and engineering standards for the company
- Work closely with leadership and see your decisions ship quickly
