## Job Description
## What You'll Do

- Build and evolve secure frameworks, guardrails, and library-level controls that make common vulnerability classes harder to introduce.
- Design security controls for AI-assisted development — including reusable rule packs and skills that shape how engineers and coding agents generate, review, and ship code.
- Embed security into the workflows engineers already use.
- Drive product security reviews for new launches and major architectural changes.
- Identify and eliminate systemic security debt.
- Shape strategy, influence architecture, and drive execution across teams.

- Proficiency in one or more languages (**Go**, **Python**, **JS/TS**).
- Experience designing, building, and operating production-quality systems and developer-facing platforms.
- Experience building secure frameworks, libraries, or guardrails that improve security across many teams at once.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate security into developer workflows: **CI/CD**, code review, release processes, and internal platforms.
- Clear communicator who can explain technical detail and business impact to both engineers and leadership.
- Comfortable in fast-moving environments where AI-assisted development is reshaping how software is built and reviewed.
- Experience with vulnerability discovery and remediation pipelines, including bug bounty or researcher-reported findings.
- Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across a security or platform engineering org.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience securing **AI/LLM** systems, agentic workflows, or AI-assisted development tooling.
- Familiarity with authentication/authorization systems, cloud-native platforms, and how to secure them.
