ClassLink
is
seeking an
Agentic Security Engineer
to revolutionize how we approach application security and infrastructure protection. In this role, you'll build and deploy AI-powered security systems that autonomously scan code, identify vulnerabilities, and suggest or implement fixes across our multi-tenant educational platform. You'll work at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI engineering, and DevSecOps, creating intelligent agents that make our systems more secure while accelerating our development velocity.

Why This Role Matters

K-12 educational institutions trust ClassLink with their students' data and digital learning environments. Your work will directly protect millions of students' privacy while enabling faster, more secure software development. You'll be at the forefront of applying AI to cybersecurity in a meaningful, mission-driven context.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build AI-powered security scanning agents using Claude Code, LLM APIs, and custom tooling to continuously monitor codebases and infrastructure for vulnerabilities
• Develop automated remediation workflows that can propose fixes, create pull requests, and integrate security improvements directly into development pipelines
• Create evaluation frameworks to measure the effectiveness of AI security agents against known vulnerability databases (CVE, OWASP Top 10, CWE)
• Build CLI tools and integrations that embed security scanning into developer workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and production monitoring systems
• Establish benchmarks and metrics for AI-driven security detection, including false positive rates, coverage analysis, and remediation success rates
• Collaborate with development teams to improve AI agent performance through custom skills, prompt engineering, and model fine-tuning
• Maintain security compliance standards for K-12 educational data (FERPA, COPPA, state privacy laws) through automated verification systems
• Research and implement emerging AI security techniques, including adversarial testing of AI systems and LLM-specific vulnerabilities

This role is 100% remote eligible, with quarterly strategy meetings that are in-person.

NOTE
: This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive. Employees may be asked to perform other related duties as negotiated to meet the ongoing needs of the organization.

- Strong understanding of common vulnerability classes (injection attacks, authentication flaws, cryptographic failures, misconfigurations
- Hands-on experience with security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning)
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, JavaScript/Node.js, or similar for building automation tools)
- Experience with CI/CD platforms and integrating security into development workflows
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure security (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Understanding of OAuth2, SAML, SSO, and authentication/authorization security patterns

Requested Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (required). Equivalent practical experience will be considered.
• Master's or Ph.D. in a related discipline with a focus on security, AI/ML, or both

It would be great if you have or are pursuing the following:

• Experience working with LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) for building AI-powered applications
• Background in prompt engineering and designing evaluation systems for AI agents

• Knowledge of Angular, React, Node.js, or modern web application frameworks
• Experience in educational technology or platforms handling sensitive student data
• Understanding of multi-tenant SaaS security architecture
• Contributions to open-source security tools or AI projects

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• Deploy AI agents scanning 100% of code commits for security vulnerabilities before production
• Achieve greater than 90% accuracy in vulnerability detection with less than 10% false positive rate
• Reduce average time-to-remediation for critical vulnerabilities by 50% through automated fix suggestions
• Build comprehensive evaluation suite measuring AI agent performance against industry benchmarks
• Integrate security scanning into developer workflows with minimal friction

Technical Environment
You'll work with: Angular 20, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS infrastructure, Git workflows, modern CI/CD pipelines, Claude API, custom AI agents and tools, OAuth2/SAML authentication systems.
