Palosade Inc; Palo Alto (CA); On-site; USD 210,000 - 340,000; Full time

Job summary

Palosade Inc is hiring an experienced security-minded engineer to build AI-native tools for cybersecurity. You will own security features end-to-end, review AI-produced code, and shape the product roadmap with founders.

The role demands 8+ years of software experience, strong OWASP knowledge, and hands-on security with modern cloud platforms. Expect collaboration with a small, senior team and a bold, startup culture focused on shipping secure AI solutions.

Qualifications

• 3+ years hands-on in application or product security: design reviews, threat modeling, code review, pen testing, or tooling.
• Strong knowledge of OWASP Top 10 (web, API, and LLM), secure SDLC, and software supply chain security.
• 8+ years overall software experience, shipping production systems as an engineer or architect.
• Fluent in TypeScript/JavaScript and at least one backend language (Python/Go/Java).
• Experience designing and running services on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Responsibilities

• Research security problems customers face and turn them into product ideas using AI to explore, prototype, and test assumptions.
• Brainstorm and shape features with the founders, then own them end to end: spec, design, implementation, testing, and release.
• Build with AI coding agents and AI-native SDLC frameworks, including agent personas, sub-agents, and parallel work streams.
• Design and ship LLM-powered capabilities in our product: agents, tools, evals, and guardrails.
• Bring an attacker's eye to everything: threat-model features, review AI-generated code for security and correctness, and own what ships.
• Evolve architecture for scale, reliability, and security, and keep CI/CD, testing, and deployments healthy.
• Talk to customers and design partners; your security expertise will help them and sharpen our roadmap.
• Help set the engineering culture and practices for an AI-native team as we grow.
