Security Engineer

Security isn't just a checkbox at Delight.ai. It's the foundation everything else is built on. If you believe security should accelerate how people work, not slow them down, keep reading.

The Company

Sendbird is on a mission to build the AI workforce of tomorrow. For over a decade, we built the infrastructure behind conversations-chat, voice, video, messaging APIs-and became the #1 CPaaS platform for in-app communications. 4,000+ brands trust us. 7 billion messages flow through our platform every month. 300 million monthly active users.

We powered conversations for DoorDash, Match Group, Noom, Yahoo Sports, Rakuten, and thousands of others. We were good at what we did. Really good.

We also saw it early: AI would fundamentally reshape how businesses talk to customers. The infrastructure we'd spent a decade building would become commoditized. The value would move up the stack-into intelligence, into experience, into outcomes.

In December 2024, we made the full strategic pivot to AI-first customer experience. By February 2025, we'd launched our AI agent for enterprise CX-built on a decade of conversation data, now with intelligence on top. And in November 2025, we rebranded to Delight.ai.

The Product

Delight.ai is the AI concierge for customer experience. Most AI agents forget you the moment the conversation ends. Ours doesn't. Delight.ai builds memory over time, learns preferences, and connects context across every channel-chat, SMS, email, voice, WhatsApp-without losing the thread. We're building AI that makes customers feel understood, seen, and remembered.
