• Build technical security solutions that improve protection across software, computing infrastructure, endpoints, and emerging AI applications.
• Create automated security workflows that reduce manual investigation and remediation work.
• Develop internal tools and scripts for identifying suspicious activity, security weaknesses, configuration issues, and operational risk.
• Partner with software and infrastructure engineers to incorporate security earlier in application and system design.
• Review technical environments for weaknesses and recommend practical controls based on risk and business impact.
• Investigate security events and determine appropriate containment, remediation, and prevention strategies.
• Improve the organization’s ability to identify abnormal behavior across endpoints, applications, and computing environments.
• Conduct technical security reviews of new systems, services, tools, and internally developed technologies.
• Evaluate how autonomous software and AI-enabled applications could introduce new attack paths or security concerns.
• Help establish secure patterns for applications that interact with language models, automated decision-making systems, or machine-learning services.
• Perform targeted testing to identify exploitable weaknesses before they become production issues.
• Develop repeatable processes for vulnerability discovery, prioritization, ownership, and remediation.
• Work closely with highly technical engineering teams on security problems that may not have established playbooks.
• Research new security techniques, attack methods, and defensive technologies that could improve the organization’s security posture.
• Contribute to technical standards and engineering guidance without creating unnecessary process or friction.

• Professional experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, application security, infrastructure security, detection engineering, incident response, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong programming or scripting skills, ideally with Python or another language commonly used for automation.
• Demonstrated ability to build security tooling or automate repetitive security activities.
• Experience investigating technical security issues across systems, applications, endpoints, or networks.
• Practical knowledge of vulnerability identification and remediation.
• Understanding of attacker behavior, common exploitation techniques, and methods used to reduce exposure.
• Familiarity with endpoint security, security monitoring, logging, or detection technologies.
• Experience working with software engineers, infrastructure teams, or technical platform groups.
• Understanding of secure development practices and how security controls fit into modern engineering workflows.
• Ability to evaluate unfamiliar technologies and identify potential security implications.
• Exposure to AI applications, language models, autonomous systems, machine-learning platforms, or AI security is beneficial but does not need to be the candidate’s primary background.
• Experience with offensive security, adversarial testing, security research, or penetration testing is helpful.
• Comfortable operating in environments where security problems require custom engineering rather than off-the-shelf solutions.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to explain technical security issues clearly.
• Able to work successfully with technical teams in a collaborative hybrid environment.
• Candidates with different levels of seniority may be considered depending on technical depth and demonstrated accomplishments.
