Role summary

We are seeking an Applied AI Engineer to build the customer-facing cyber service and use‑cases on top of our cyber harnesses. You will turn "we have agents" into "we shipped something a client uses." This role is about composing red‑team/blue‑team agentic workflows, configuring harnesses for real‑world scenarios, and delivering value directly to clients.

Your work will bridge the gap between our foundational cyber harnesses and the agentic solutions that clients deploy. While SWE‑Cyber makes the platform robust and scalable, and Pentesters runs the solution and guides the direction, you will focus on building the agentic use‑cases and client‑facing service that solves real security problems.

What you will do

Client‑Facing Agentic Solutions

• Compose red‑team/blue‑team agentic workflows for production use‑cases
• Configure harnesses for cloud defense, vulnerability scanning, dynamic red‑teaming, and penetration testing scenarios
• Work directly on client use‑cases, translating security requirements into agentic solutions
• Turn prototype agents into deployed services that clients rely on

Context Engineering & Orchestration

• Design and implement context engineering that enables agents to operate effectively in cybersecurity domains
• Orchestrate multi‑agent systems for complex security workflows
• Build the agentic layer that sits between the harness and the client

Service Delivery

• Ship fast and iterate based on client feedback and real‑world performance
• Operate independently while leveraging internal building blocks and frameworks
• Collaborate with pentesters to ensure domain accuracy and effectiveness
• Partner with SWE‑Cyber to ensure the platform supports your use‑case requirements

About you

Strong applied AI engineer with hands‑on experience building agents, LLM orchestration, context engineering, evals, and RAG systems. You ship fast, with a bias toward action and delivery. Operate independently with a customer‑led mindset. Able to reuse internal components and bricks effectively. Some cyber context is a real plus, but not mandatory — we can pair you with pentesters for domain depth. Strong problem‑solving abilities and attention to detail. Excellent communication skills and collaborative attitude.

Desired additional experience

• Genuine cyber or pentest knowledge
• Experience building agentic harnesses or multi‑agent systems end‑to‑end
• Strong background in evals and benchmarking of agent systems
• Experience with security tooling or workflows
• Prior work on production AI systems in regulated or high‑stakes environments

Location & Remote

This role is primarily based at one of our European offices (Paris, France and London, UK). We will prioritize candidates who either reside there or are open to relocating. We strongly believe in the value of in‑person collaboration to foster strong relationships and seamless communication within our team.

In certain specific situations, we will also consider remote candidates based in one of the countries listed in this job posting — currently France & UK. In that case, we ask all new hires to visit our local office:

• for the first week of their onboarding (accommodation and travelling covered)
• then at least 3 days per month

What we offer

• Competitive salary and equity
• Health insurance
• Transportation allowance
• Sport allowance
• Meal vouchers
• Private pension plan
• Generous parental leave policy
• Visa sponsorship
