## About the role

As a Senior Security Engineer at Orkes, you will work at the frontier of agentic workflow development, building the security foundation that defines how enterprises safely workflows with AI agent interactions.

- Owns the security roadmap — turns the threat landscape into a prioritized, roadmapped program for the team
