Jobbeschreibung

Bug Bounty Switzerland is the leading Security Testing Hyperscaler. With our Cyber Resilience Platform, we help regulated enterprises in financial services, critical infrastructure, and government stay ahead of evolving threats.

We’re headquartered in Switzerland, trusted by some of the most security-conscious organisations in Europe, and scaling fast.

The Role

We're building the operating system for enterprise security testing - a platform that turns security objectives into executable plans and translates findings into actionable insights. We have the vision and engineering foundation. Now we need an Applied AI Engineer to architect the intelligence layer that makes it real.

You'll own the AI capabilities that define how our platform thinks: memory systems that maintain context, orchestration logic that translates intent into action, and adaptive interfaces that serve every audience. You will build production-ready AI systems that solve real security challenges, so that enterprises can continuously test their defenses without exponentially scaling their security teams.

What You’ll Do

Build AI Systems That Power Enterprise Security

You'll architect and ship production-grade AI features that form the backbone of our security testing platform. This means:

Building our living semantic digital twin - creating persistent, evolving context that powers comprehensive understanding of enterprise environments

Evolving our orchestration engine - translating high-level security objectives into concrete, executable test plans and intelligently routing execution

Developing our adaptive reporting system - creating visually adaptive dashboards that synthesize context with technical findings to deliver actionable insights from engineer to board

Build AI features that work reliably in production - well-tested, maintainable, and ready for real-world use

Drive continuous innovation by exploring new LLM capabilities to keep our platform at the cutting edge

Own your impact end-to-end

You'll work in cross-functional teams with full domain ownership:

Drive projects from ideation through production: prototype fast, validate assumptions, learn from real usage, and scale what works

Partner with other engineers, product, and stakeholders to solve customer security testing challenges through technical innovation

Build and maintain backend systems, AI pipelines, and integrations that power our platform

Balance rapid 0→1 iteration with the discipline needed for production-grade systems

Ship meaningful contributions within your first two weeks, then take on increasingly complex challenges

What You Bring

Must-haves

Experience with C# and .NET Core or proven ability to learn a new programming language quickly

Passionate about applying AI to solve meaningful, real-world problems.

You’ve shipped and maintained AI/ML systems, not just built prototypes, and ideally in multiple domains

Strong experience with building software around LLMs: prompting, agentic orchestration, fault-tolerance, and integration of LLM parts with deterministic code.

Solid understanding of AI safety and alignment principles, including responsible AI development, bias mitigation, and ethical AI practices

Experience with cloud AI platforms such as Azure AI Foundry or AWS Bedrock

Strong skills in structured and independently-driven problem-solving. Able to work with incomplete information and rapidly testing hypotheses

You’re able to leverage AI Developer tools such as Copilot or Claude in your daily workflow

BSc or higher in computer science, cybersecurity math, physics or other related engineering field

Strong signals

Experience in cybersecurity or related industries

Experience in a growth stage startup and comfort with ambiguity

Prior development experience within large-scale or multi-tenant SaaS applications.

Experience with Durable Execution (Durable Functions, Prefect, Temporal)

Built AI-native interfaces using MCP apps, CopilotKit, AG-UI, or similar frameworks

Familiarity with frameworks like Agent Framework, AutoGen, or Semantic Kernel for agentic orchestration

Experience in secure tool usage, and (human) feedback loops for autonomous agents

Comprehensive understanding of various database technologies, including relational and non-relational systems

Familiarity with Azure services and deployment practices

Familiarity with CI/CD, DevOps, and infrastructure best practices

Reporting & Compensation

Reports to: CTO

Compensation: Competitive base + ESOP, aligned with seniority and impact

Why This Role

We've built the foundation - a security testing platform with a proven orchestration engine, customer traction, and a clear product vision. What we need now is the AI engineering muscle to turn that foundation into intelligence: systems that remember context, reason about security objectives, and adapt how they communicate findings.

This role has leverage because security testing has always required human expertise to scope, interpret, and operationalize - until now. We're at the intersection of two realities: enterprises desperately need scalable security testing, and AI has finally reached the reliability threshold to deliver it end-to-end. You'll architect the intelligence that handles the complete workflow: translating business objectives into scoped test plans, orchestrating execution, and communicating findings that drive remediation decisions from engineer to board.

Your work unlocks what enterprises can't achieve today: continuous, intelligent security testing that scales with their environment, not their headcount.

We're building something ambitious. You should enjoy the ride!

Work where and when it suits you best. Our work is collaborative, flexible and with modern tools.

Work Experience

You have CHF 4'000 per year at your disposal to equip yourself with everything you need to enjoy your work.

Inspiring encounters

Our office is an inspiring place where we meet, work together on ambitious plans and have fun together.

Team Events

Snowboarding in Zermatt, Wakeboarding on Lake Thun or Go-karting on the race track, there is always an adventure with us!

Principles we live by

Growth

We develop as individuals and grow as an organization

Clarity

We say what we think and do what we say

Positivity

We are optimistic and grateful for what is and what is to come

Proactivity

We act on our own initiative and communicate actively
