## About the Role

Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Auditing, MCP - Microsoft Certified Professional, Computer Security, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Operations Security (OPSEC), Test Plan/Schedule, Security Software, Security Infrastructure

## Description

We are building a first-of-its-kind vulnerability auditing and review platform for LLM and foundational model integrated software including components like foundational models, MCP servers, agents, and agent skills/capabilities. As an SDE 1 on this team, you will contribute to the design, development, testing, deployment, and operation of security-focused software systems that help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities across AI-integrated applications., Platform Development & Feature Delivery

 * Design, implement, test, deploy, and maintain security-focused features for the vulnerability auditing and review platform.
 * Build and extend vulnerability detection capabilities for LLM-integrated services and tools including foundational models, MCP servers, agents, and agent skills/capabilities.
 * Deliver working software features end-to-end, working backwards from customer requirements through production deployment and ongoing operations.
 * Refactor and deprecate existing systems as the platform evolves, ensuring long-term maintainability and extensibility.

Security & AI Safety Engineering

 * Develop automated scanning and analysis tooling to identify security vulnerabilities in AI-integrated software components.
 * Implement detection mechanisms for adversarial attacks, prompt injection, capability boundary violations, and other LLM-specific threat vectors.
 * Collaborate with applied scientists to translate AI safety research into production-grade platform features.
 * Apply secure coding practices and threat modeling to all platform components.

Operational Excellence

 * Own operational health of your features monitor, alarm, triage, and resolve production issues.
 * Identify root causes of operational failures and implement permanent fixes; never settle for the status quo.
 * Proactively identify and execute on opportunities to improve the team"s operational posture (automation, runbooks, telemetry, dashboards).
 * Make effective priority tradeoffs between new feature development and operational improvements.

Design & Technical Leadership

 * Design software solutions that bring clarity to difficult problems with visible risks or roadblocks.
 * Participate actively in code reviews, providing meaningful and constructive feedback to engineers at all levels.
 * Document how the platform is constructed, tested, operated, and secured and how it fits into the broader AI safety ecosystem.
 * Keep skills current; evaluate and apply industry innovations in security, AI safety, and software engineering where applicable.

Mentorship & Team Development

 * Actively mentor SDE 1s and new team members to accelerate their productivity and growth.
 * Train new teammates on platform architecture, operational practices, and team norms.
 * Contribute to hiring efforts through interviews, candidate assessments, and bar-raising.

Collaboration & Communication

 * Work with customers, stakeholders, and peers (including applied scientists) to understand business and customer value and ensure the platform solves the right problems.
 * Resolve disagreements with peers through constructive, inclusive dialogue.
 * Communicate effectively about the work you deliver status, risks, tradeoffs, and outcomes.
