About the role

  • Software development is changing fast, and code is no longer written by humans alone.
  • We're a venture-backed company with offices in Australia, the United States, Belgium, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.
  • We're empowering organizations to secure their software-no matter how the code is written!

Responsibilities

  • You own three things. How you balance your time across them will shift as the landscape evolves and as you develop your own view of where the highest-leverage opportunities lie.
  • These are ambiguous, cross-cutting problems that require structured discovery before anyone can commit to building them.
  • You lead time-boxed R&D cycles to produce prototypes and clear recommendations: build, explore further, or stop.
  • You own the technical discovery of how to deliver that intelligence, working in close partnership with our content and security domain experts.
  • You own three things.
  • How you balance your time across them will shift as the landscape evolves and as you develop your own view of where the highest-leverage opportunities lie.

Requirements

  • Polyglot Prototyper: You possess a strong foundation in computer science with the ability to prototype rapidly in our tech stacks.
  • AI/LLM Specialist: You have deep practical knowledge of AI/LLM systems, agent frameworks, the MCP ecosystem, and the current state of AI coding tools and agentic development workflows.
  • Versatile and autonomous: You are comfortable operating across technical prototyping, market intelligence, and external engagement.
  • You are a role model for the Warrior Code and Engineering Culture Code - collaborative, pragmatic, and a safe pair of hands even when operating in highly experimental territory

Skills

  • Working Style
  • You know when to go deep on a problem and when to call it and move on
  • Strong Differentiators
  • Background in developer tooling, observability, platform engineering, or application security tooling
  • Published work or demonstrated thought leadership in AI safety, secure code generation, agent governance, or related fields
  • Existing network in the AI engineering or application security research communities
