Descripción de la vacante

Thinking Machines in San Francisco is hiring a software engineer focused on security by default to embedded with product and research teams, ensuring secure-by-design development and automation that scales. You will implement security controls across the stack and build tooling to reduce risk in AI-powered products.

You will collaborate with researchers to mitigate AI-specific risks, improve observability for security events, and help ship features securely across multiple teams and stacks.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, or similar.
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (Python or Rust).
• Strong generalist software engineering background and ability to review production code for security risks.
• Hands-on experience securing web apps and APIs especially auth flows, access control, secrets management, input validation, and data protection.
• Familiarity with common vulnerability classes and prevention frameworks; experience hardening prototypes into production.
• Comfort with modern cloud infrastructure and understanding how application concerns intersect with infrastructure.
• Comfort operating across the stack and owning projects end-to-end.
• Thrive in a highly collaborative environment with cross-functional partners.

Responsabilidades

• Partner with product and research teams to embed security into the development lifecycle: threat modeling, design reviews, and secure defaults for new features.
• Design and implement security controls across the product stack (authentication, authorization, session management, input validation, etc.).
• Build and maintain security tooling and automation for engineers: secure frameworks and templates, CI/CD checks, dependency management, and vulnerability detection.
• Collaborate with researchers to identify and mitigate AI-specific product risks, such as model abuse, prompt injection, data leakage, or misuse of capabilities.
• Improve observability and detection for security-relevant events: access anomalies, abuse patterns, and suspicious behavior in production.
