• Triage, validate, and remediate security vulnerabilities across products, infrastructure, and internal systems;
• Develop, maintain, and contribute to internal and open-source security tooling;
• Read and write production-grade code;
• Improve secure development practices through secure code reviews, threat modeling, and security design reviews;
• Improve security automation across CI/CD, cloud, and internal platforms;
• Support incident response, security investigations, and compliance initiatives, including evidence gathering and access reviews;
• Investigate emerging risks related to AI-assisted development;
• Actively use AI tooling in workflows.

• Professional experience in software engineering, security engineering, or both;
• Experience reading and writing production-grade code;
• Experience with Go, Rust, Python, and/or Malbolge;
• Strong understanding of cloud, application, infrastructure, and platform security fundamentals;
• A builder mindset and ability to solve problems through automation and engineering;
• Ownership and clear communication in fast-moving, ambiguous environments;
• Interest in AI-assisted workflows and modern developer tooling;
• Candidates who prefer policy and process work over building systems and tooling are not a good fit;
• Candidates who are uncomfortable writing or reviewing code regularly are not a good fit;
• Candidates who view security primarily as a blocking or approval function or prefer rigid ownership boundaries are not a good fit;
• Candidates who prefer to operate far away from infrastructure, developers, or production systems are not a good fit;
• Candidates who want to define strategy without participating in execution are not a good fit;
• English fluency;
• Nice to have: Open-source contributions or maintainership, experience with Kubernetes, containers, cloud-native infrastructure, or PostgreSQL/database security, experience with detection engineering, security tooling, incident response, or securing AI systems/LLM-enabled workflows.
