Staff Security Software Engineer - Agentic Security Engineering

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As Staff Security Software Engineer , you own a major technical workstream designing and shipping production-grade AI agents and the platform capabilities that power them, with reliability, observability, and safe-by-default security as first-class requirements.

What it asks for · 7

• Demonstrated experience building, shipping, and operating production AI agents that others depend on, with an intentional pivot to AI-native transformation of a function at scale (prototypes and demos don't count).
• Expert-level Python for production systems at scale.
• Depth across the production-AI dimensions: agent architecture & orchestration; context & memory management; production operations (latency, cost, caching, monitoring, model upgrades, reliability); and AI quality & evaluation (eval frameworks, LLM-as-judge, regression testing).
• Hands-on experience with modern agentic frameworks and LLM tooling (e.g., LangChain, Hugging Face, frontier models) and MCP-style tool integration.
• Strong technical communicator who aligns partners and drives adoption without direct authority.
• 7+ years in software or security engineering, with demonstrated technical leadership on a significant workstream.
• Track record of shipping high-quality security tooling that other teams depend on in production.

Also a plus

• Research contributions or deep familiarity with adversarial ML, AI safety, or AI red-teaming methodology.
• Experience with MLOps platforms, AI serving infrastructure, or AI platform security at cloud scale.
• Familiarity with AI governance standards (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act technical provisions) as they apply to security engineering.
• Open-source contributions or publications in AI security, adversarial ML, or security tooling.
