## About the Role

7+ years of experience building and shipping production software (5+ with exceptional experience)

Strong software engineering skills: you'll go through the same coding and system design bar as our engineers

Competence across all three of product, infrastructure, and corporate security

A generalist who's comfortable owning a little bit of everything rather than a narrow slice

Early-stage startup experience, ideally as one of the first security hires at a company

A builder's instinct for ambiguity: comfortable operating without a fixed roadmap or product managers, and you fix problems yourself instead of throwing them over the fence

Experience with Python or Ruby on Rails a plus

CS degree from a top school or equivalent STEM background

## Description

This is a senior, hands-on role for engineers who want to own security end to end.

This isn't an advisory role. You'll be an engineer on the team who owns security across the whole company, from product and infrastructure to corporate and IT, and you'll fix problems directly rather than surfacing them and handing them off. You'll be a pivotal part of an engineering team that takes security seriously and fixes things with you rather than treating it as someone else's job.

We are a small, dynamic team operating at the center of the AI ecosystem. The way security gets done is changing because of AI, and as a company that works with every major AI lab, we're at the frontier of it. You'll work closely with engineers and researchers from the top technology companies in the world.
