Job description

Engineering · San Francisco · FullTime · Senior level

This role asks for a seasoned security engineer who can shape secure design from architecture through implementation, not just find bugs. A strong candidate brings hands on software engineering experience, deep product security knowledge across auth and APIs, and the judgment to turn findings into practical fixes. The work spans product security and cloud security, so comfort moving between code review, threat modeling, and AWS risk reduction matters.

How it fits the AI era

AI changes the pace of security work by helping engineers learn unfamiliar areas quickly and widen their coverage. The human core stays the same: validating findings against first principles, making risk calls, and owning every decision. This role sits close to AI products, so securing those systems is part of the job.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers direct exposure to securing enterprise AI applications and AI enabled products in a clinical setting. Building that experience means learning how AI features handle sensitive data and where their risks differ from traditional software. Candidates can strengthen this by practicing AI assisted security work while keeping a habit of checking outputs carefully.

Worth showing

• Secure design and threat modeling
• Auth and API security depth
• Production coding in Go or Python
• Cloud security on AWS
