You care about reproducibility and instrumentation. No AI slop. * You're motivated by security problems and enjoy thinking like both builder and attacker * You reason about how capabilities combine into risk: not just individual vulnerabilities, but system-level attack surfaces across tool ecosystems * You communicate clearly, iterate fast, and can hold a technical narrative from "hypothesis" to "shipped" ## Description You'll help define an emerging area: how to find and neutralize the security risks that emerge when agents act, plan, and use tools autonomously. This role is research-heavy and engineering-heavy: you'll design experiments, build prototypes, fine-tune models, and pressure-test systems against adversarial behavior. You'll iterate quickly, learn from failures, and scale what works, while building the monitoring and evaluation infrastructure that makes progress measurable. You can see what we're building here. In this role you will: * Define and validate threat models for agentic systems, identifying which tool characteristics must co-exist to enable data exfiltration and malicious state change, and how to break those combinations * Design and run experiments: create synthetic environments like file systems and tools, create task distributions that have attack paths and apply different attack strategies * Break (manually and using optimization algorithms such as RL) agentic systems in * Design and improve static and dynamic analysis methods that automatically map tool capabilities to risk across diverse tool ecosystems, and make those methods scale * Turn research insights into product-facing capabilities: risk classification, automated guardrail generation, and quantitative threat measurement * Build measurement tools: eval harnesses, monitoring, dashboards, and feedback loops that quantify security outcomes * Build capability and regression evals * Optimize systems for real-world constraints (latency, cost, reliability) without losing scientific rigor ## Related Videos - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Possibilities with Web Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1575-possibilities-with-web-capabilities) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [How AI Models Get Smarter](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1374-how-ai-models-get-smarter) - [Unleash the power of 5G in your code: transform your apps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1567-unleash-the-power-of-5g-in-your-code-transform-your-apps) - [Engineering Mindset in the Age of AI - Gunnar Grosch, AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1735-engineering-mindset-in-the-age-of-ai-gunnar-grosch-aws) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai)
