You will develop software that automates and enhances security processes including security design reviews, threat modeling, penetration testing, vulnerability discovery and validation, and AI agent security testing. This role combines strong software engineering with an automation-first mindset, applying AI and frontier models to transform traditionally manual security processes into continuous, scalable capabilities integrated across Uber’s technology ecosystem.\nThe problems here are messy and the systems are global. You’ll need to make smart decisions with imperfect information, own your work end-to-end, and stay calm when high-load systems are on the line. We are looking for engineers who think in systems, pride themselves on robust monitoring, and believe that the best solutions are built through candid feedback and cross-functional collaboration. If you’re energized by challenges and motivated to move the real world - this is where you’ll grow.\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild software platforms and automation across static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), penetration testing, AI red teaming, security design reviews, and threat modeling.\nDevelop AI-powered agents and workflows that analyze source code and technical designs, orchestrate security assessments, generate test cases, and validate findings.\nPartner with security engineers to translate their expertise into repeatable, scalable capabilities.\nBuild and scale foundational infrastructure and data pipelines, balancing technical debt and shifting priorities while keeping long-term impact in mind.\nIntegrate security capabilities with source control, CI/CD pipelines, service inventories, and issue-tracking systems to enable continuous and on-demand testing throughout the software development lifecycle.\nBuild shared services for assessment orchestration, findings normalization and deduplication, and remediation tracking, reducing duplicate findings and manual work for security and engineering teams.\nDesign, develop, and maintain high-quality code for features of moderate complexity and projects with multiple dependencies.\nDevelop evaluation frameworks and operational safeguards for AI-driven security workflows, measuring accuracy, coverage, latency, and cost while enforcing appropriate access controls, execution boundaries, and auditability.\nOwn the software lifecycle end-to-end, from drafting design docs to debugging production issues and managing incidents independently.\nCollaborate across disciplines - including Product, Data Science, and Ops - to translate ambiguous requirements into simple, elegant system designs.\nChampion engineering best practices by providing quality code reviews, creating comprehensive tests, and improving system performance.\nNavigate internal complexity and stakeholder inquiries to unblock dependencies and ensure the reliability of our production environment.\nBasic Qualifications\n3+ years of professional software engineering experience in backend development, distributed systems, or data engineering.\nProficiency in one or more object-oriented or functional programming languages (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or C++).\nExperience with data modeling, query optimization, and translating customer problems into system design.\nBachelor’s Degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.\nExperience writing tests to verify functionality and establishing monitoring systems to ensure code stability.\nExperience building APIs, service integrations, or automated workflows that connect multiple systems in production environments.\nUnderstanding of secure software development fundamentals, including authentication, authorization, data protection, and safe handling of credentials.\nFamiliarity with source control, CI/CD, and automated testing practices for delivering reliable software.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building agentic security workflows that autonomously gather technical context, reason across multiple data sources, invoke security tools, validate conclusions, and produce evidence-backed security assessments.\nExperience applying frontier LLMs to complex security reasoning, including architecture analysis, attack-path identification, threat enumeration, vulnerability discovery, and security control validation.\nExperience developing multi-agent or multi-model architectures that use specialized agents, model routing, or model-as-judge techniques to improve the accuracy, coverage, and confidence of automated security reviews.\nExperience identifying and reducing code-level technical debt in high-load distributed systems.\nBackground in mentoring new team members and contributing to engineering culture.\nProficiency with Big Data frameworks (e.g., Spark, Flink) or real-time data streaming (e.g., Kafka).\nDemonstrated ability to exercise sound judgment on engineering trade-offs for complex systems.\nExperience building security tools or automation in one or more of the following domains: SAST, DAST, SCA, penetration testing, AI red teaming, security design reviews, or threat modeling.\nExperience developing LLM-powered applications or agentic workflows, including model integration, tool execution, context retrieval, and orchestration.\nExperience building evaluation frameworks for AI-driven systems, including reproducible benchmarks, regression testing, and measurement of output quality and reliability.\nFamiliarity with source-code analysis, dependency graphs, API testing, or isolated execution environments for automated security testing.\nExperience using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate software implementation, testing, debugging, and maintenance.\nfeatures.\nFor Seattle, WA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $171,000 per year - USD $190,000 per year.\nFor Sunnyvale, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $171,000 per year - USD $190,000 per year.\nFor all US locations, you will be eligible to participate in Uber's bonus program, and may be offered an equity award & other types of comp. All full-time employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. You will also be eligible for various benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6458,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation & Logistics","Ride Hailing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T17:23:38Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-05T22:49:24Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-08T15:32:57Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-10T15:11:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":190000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/uber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/uber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T22:25:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12189,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":230},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=230"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/uber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-security-review-automation"}]}
