Quick Facts
Role: Software Engineer (Cybersecurity Products)
Focus: Build end-to-end cybersecurity products powered by security agents
Description
Build cybersecurity products from zero to one by turning agent workflows into customer-facing capabilities across application security, offensive testing, cloud security, and detection and response. You’ll ship integrations and product surfaces (APIs, dashboards, onboarding, and workflows) grounded in real codebases and real customer-like environments. You’ll work with security engineers to ensure tenant isolation, least privilege, and safe handling of customer secrets and data.
Responsibilities
Build security products across application security, penetration/offensive security, cloud security, and detection & response
Build agents that perform real security work (code review for vulnerabilities, attacker-like testing, cloud configuration assessment, threat investigation, and recommendations/fixes)
Build underlying systems: multi-tenant services, data pipelines, and secure execution environments
Integrate with customer tools (source control, CI/CD, cloud providers, identity providers, security tools, ticketing, chat)
Ship product surfaces customers use: APIs, dashboards, onboarding, and workflows
Enforce security standards: strong tenant isolation, least privilege, and safe handling of secrets/data
Define and improve quality metrics (finding accuracy, false positives, exploitability, time to fix, cost)
Partner with design partners and customers to decide which security problems to build next
Requirements
4+ years of experience building production software systems
Meaningful experience in security products, security data platforms, or security engineering with heavy software development
Proficiency in at least one major language: Python, Go, TypeScript, or Rust
Experience owning production services end to end
Hands-on depth in at least one security domain: application security, penetration testing/offensive security, cloud security, or detection/response
Experience integrating with security/developer systems: source control, CI/CD, cloud provider APIs, identity providers, scanners, SIEMs
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and building secure multi-tenant SaaS
Ability to work directly with customers and ship pragmatic improvements quickly in an ambiguous early-stage product area
Benefits
Build end-to-end cybersecurity products grounded in real environments and threat models
