Your opportunity
Security Engineer (Secure Software + Automation + AI)
We’re looking for a hands-on security engineer who ships code—building automation and integrations that make secure development faster, safer, and easier at scale. You’ll work on practical security engineering problems across the SDLC, including AI-enabled security use cases and responsible AI guardrails.
What you’ll do
- Build and maintain security automation (services, scripts, integrations) that reduces manual work and improves reliability.
- Integrate security into developer workflows (code scanning, CI/CD checks, issue routing, PR-based remediation, reporting).
- Partner with engineering teams to build security in from the start (practical patterns, tooling, and enablement
- Contribute to AI security and governance controls (prompt/input safeguards, guardrails, monitoring, safe integration patterns).
- Help accelerate security outcomes with AI-enabled security use cases (e.g., AI-assisted remediation and security workflow improvements).
What you have
What we’re looking for (must-have)
- Strong software engineering skills and comfort shipping production code (e.g., .NET, Python, Java, etc.).
- Solid integration experience: REST APIs, JSON, authentication flows, troubleshooting logs, and operational debugging.
- Experience automating workflows (CI/CD, scripting, build/release pipelines, developer tooling).
- A builder mindset: you like turning messy security problems into repeatable, scalable engineering solutions.
Nice-to-have (not required)
- Exposure to application security tools/processes (SAST/DAST, secure SDLC, threat modeling).
- Any familiarity with trust/identity/certificates/PKI (helpful, but not the focus).
