Job description

Finance & Legal · Bengaluru, India · Remote · FullTime · Senior level

A staff engineer in security and compliance is expected to set the security direction for a platform, threat model agentic systems, and build controls that hold up to audit. A strong candidate brings hands on experience securing cloud services and data pipelines, a working grasp of standards like SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and the judgment to balance risk with shipping speed. At a company building governed autonomous agents, that means protecting both the platform and the knowledge it captures.

How it fits the AI era

AI shifts much of the routine scanning and log triage to automated tools, so the role leans more on design, policy, and judgment about what agents should be allowed to do. The human core stays in threat modeling, incident decisions, and explaining risk to engineers and customers. Security for agentic systems is itself a new area, and this role sits at its front edge.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers direct exposure to securing autonomous agents, including permissioning, audit trails, and guardrails around captured work knowledge. That experience is built by working alongside platform engineers on real agent deployments and by studying emerging practices for agent governance. Candidates can strengthen it through hands on work with cloud security tooling and AI system risk frameworks.

Worth showing

• Threat modeling agentic systems
• Cloud security architecture
• SOC 2 and ISO 27001
• Incident response leadership
