About the role
- As we embed GenAI more deeply into our SaaS products (RAG pipelines, agentic / MCP services) and roll out AI-assisted development internally, the threat landscape is shifting fast.
- Autonomous adversaries, prompt injection, model exfiltration, and vibe-coded internal apps spun up by non-engineers are now part of the daily attack surface.
- We're hiring a Principal / Staff Security Engineer to be our deepest technical voice on security.
Responsibilities
- Own and mature the AppSec toolchain across CI/CD - SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC policy-as-code
- Champion shift-left security: threat modeling and secure-design reviews embedded in PRs and sprint planning, not bolted on at release
- Operate CSPM/CNAPP tooling; own vulnerability management across containers and IaC
- Support zero-trust privileged access for production infra, databases, and Kubernetes (in partnership with DevOps)
Requirements
- 10+ years in security engineering with meaningful AppSec depth - you have shipped and operated SAST/DAST/SCA (Semgrep, CodeQL, Snyk, Veracode, or equivalent) at production scale
- Hands-on experience securing production LLM or agentic AI deployments - IAM, guardrails, prompt injection controls, eval gating.
- Cloud-native security experience in AWS - comfortable with Organizations/SCPs, Kubernetes security, container hardening, and CSPM tooling
Nice to have
- LLM eval-as-gate in CI (Promptfoo, Garak, DeepEval, Giskard) and AI red-teaming experience
- Prompt-layer DLP and AI runtime guardrails (Nightfall, Lakera Guard, Cyberhaven, Harmonic Security, Protect AI, NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails)
- EDR/XDR operations experience (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Defender) - helpful but not the primary focus of this role
- Comfort working across US/India time zones with a distributed team
- ISO 42001 familiarity
- NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act high-risk system requirements
- Public signals: conference talks, open-source contributions in CI/CD, MCP, or LLM-deployment security
