## About the role

As our Security Engineer, Application & AI, you will own the security of our products and application layer — secure development practices, agent security, third-party integration security, and data protection for AI products operating in some of the world's most regulated and sensitive environments.

## What they're looking for

- Have 5+ years of experience in application security or product security, with hands-on experience on production systems at scale
- Are a builder first — you write code and ship security tooling, and see embedding security into the engineering workflow as the job, not a side effect of it
- Have deep fluency in application security fundamentals: OWASP Top 10, AuthN/AuthZ, secure SDLC, secrets management, secure integration patterns, and cryptography basics
- Understand the security surface of agentic AI across the product layer — how agents should be designed, scoped, and reviewed for risk — and can work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers to build those standards in
- Have experience protecting sensitive data at the application layer: access controls, audit logging, and preventing data exposure through third-party integrations and AI-generated outputs
- Work AI-natively — you already use AI to write better code, move faster, and do more with less, and you bring that same instinct to security work
