Security Software Engineer

Our client is an AI company building autonomous agents for enterprise customers. Their agents handle sensitive customer data and take real actions inside business-critical software, so security sits at the center of how the product earns trust and wins larger accounts.

This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role with a direct line to engineering leadership. You will shape the security architecture for the agent platform and write much of the code that enforces it.

What You’ll Do

• Own the threat model and security roadmap for the agent platform
• Design and build controls that limit what agents can do, including permissions, approvals, and sandboxed execution
• Develop secure identity, credential, and data handling across services and tenants
• Harden application packaging, updates, and release processes
• Write security-focused tests, investigate vulnerabilities, and lead incident response engineering
• Partner with product engineers and support customers through security reviews, * Tackle new, high-impact problems in AI agent security
• Set the security architecture and engineering standards for the company
• Work closely with leadership and see your decisions ship quickly
