This role combines product security judgment with hands-on software development.\nThe engineer will assess designs, review code, build security automation, and partner with engineering and product teams to translate business needs and security requirements into practical, production-ready solutions.\nThe successful candidate operates effectively with high-level direction, clarifies ambiguous problems, prioritizes competing work, and owns deliverables through completion. This is a Senior Engineer role focused on vital team-level contributions and technical leadership within the team, rather than enterprise-wide architecture ownership.\nWhat You Will Do\nProvide technical leadership within the team for AI security, product security, secure design, and security engineering work. \nPlan, estimate, prioritize, and deliver engineering work to schedule while managing multiple concurrent priorities and context switches. \nDesign, build, test, deploy, and troubleshoot production-ready security services, integrations, automation, and developer tooling. \nPerform threat modeling and security architecture reviews for AI-enabled applications, services, APIs, data flows, agentic workflows, and supporting platforms. \nReview code and designs for authentication, authorization, role-based access control, input validation, data protection, logging, error handling, database access, and other security concerns. \nTranslate business needs, customer feedback, and security requirements into clear technical requirements, implementation plans, and measurable outcomes. \nUse data and risk context to recommend priorities and make sound design or configuration decisions, with attention to security, compliance, privacy, reliability, and customer data handling. \nWork across engineering, product, platform, risk, and cybersecurity teams to remove blockers, resolve issues, and drive agreed actions to completion. \nProactively identify process, tooling, and control gaps, then implement practical improvements that reduce manual effort and strengthen security outcomes. \nContribute significantly to design, code, security, observability, performance, and operational-readiness reviews using established architecture and engineering guidance. \nDocument technical decisions, operating procedures, support guidance, and lessons learned so solutions can be maintained and improved by the team. \nHelp teammates overcome technical obstacles and share knowledge through reviews, pairing, technical discussions, and clear documentation. \nAI and Product Security Focus\nAssess security risks associated with AI models, agents, prompts, retrieval-augmented generation, model context protocols, tools, data sources, memory, and downstream actions. \nApply secure-by-design practices to AI-enabled systems, including least privilege, trustworthy identity, authorization boundaries, input and output controls, secrets protection, audit logging, data governance, and resilient failure handling. \nBuild or integrate automated safeguards, evaluation workflows, security tests, and monitoring that help teams identify and reduce AI and application security risk throughout the development lifecycle. \nPartner with developers to provide actionable remediation guidance and validate that security issues are addressed effectively. \nRequired Qualifications\nSolid professional experience in software engineering, security engineering, product security, application security, or a related technical field. \nHands-on experience writing, reviewing, testing, and troubleshooting code, with strong proficiency in Python or a comparable modern programming language. \nExperience with full-stack or platform development using tools and technologies such as GitHub, Git, terminal and CLI workflows, APIs, relational databases such as PostgreSQL, and automated testing. \nPractical experience conducting threat modeling, secure design reviews, architecture reviews, or secure code reviews. \nWorking knowledge of common application and API security risks, secure authentication and authorization patterns, input validation, logging, error handling, database security, and secure SDLC practices. \nAbility to organize complex work, create realistic project plans, manage dependencies, communicate status and risks, and drive work to completion. \nAbility to make progress with incomplete information, ask effective clarifying questions, and apply sound engineering judgment under ambiguity. \nStrong written and verbal communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences. \nAbility to listen to different perspectives, incorporate feedback, and confidently explain a well-reasoned recommendation. \nExperience integrating AI-assisted development practices into the software development lifecycle while retaining accountability for architecture, technical decisions, testing, security, and operational readiness. \nProven ability to validate AI-generated outputs, identify inaccurate or insecure recommendations, and ensure resulting code meets expectations for security, quality, maintainability, reliability, testability, and compliance. \nStrong portfolio of hands-on engineering work demonstrating effective use of AI-enabled development capabilities, including code generation, code review, debugging, refactoring, test generation, documentation, and engineering automation. \nDemonstrated track record of leveraging AI-assisted software development tools and workflows to design, develop, test, troubleshoot, and deliver production-quality software solutions. \nExperience working in an Agentic Development Environment where AI assistants or coding agents can inspect project context, propose or modify code, generate tests, summarize repositories, create pull requests, and support iterative debugging while the engineer remains accountable for correctness, security, and maintainability. \nHands-on familiarity with modern AI-enabled developer tools and workflows such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, GitHub pull request automation, AI-assisted code review, repository-aware chat, terminal-based coding agents, and secure prompt/context management for engineering tasks. \nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building or securing generative AI, agentic AI, RAG, MCP-based integrations, or AI-enabled developer workflows. \nExperience with Python application frameworks, data validation libraries such as Pydantic, PostgreSQL, cloud services, containers, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation. \nExperience integrating security testing and controls into engineering workflows and developer tooling. \nFamiliarity with product security, cloud security, API security, threat modeling methodologies, and security or compliance frameworks relevant to enterprise environments. \nExperience balancing near-term delivery with maintainability, operational readiness, and longer-term improvement opportunities. \nExperience designing guardrails, evaluation frameworks, security controls, and governance mechanisms for AI-generated code and AI-assisted engineering workflows. \nExperience building, extending, or securing AI-assisted development platforms, coding assistants, developer agents, agentic workflows, MCP integrations, RAG systems, or AI-enabled engineering productivity solutions. \nHow You Work\nHighly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. \nTakes ownership of problems and follows through until outcomes are delivered. \nThrives in a fast-paced environment and switches context with
