It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. Backed by Greylock and Sequoia.
About the role
We're looking for a Staff AI Security Specialist who sits at the intersection of AI and Security and is happiest building. This is an applied role: you'll spend your time reasoning about how agentic systems break and then writing the code that stops it, from prototype to shipped control in collaboration with Security Engineers. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of combined experience in security, software engineering, or applied research, including 2+ years working hands-on with AI/ML or LLM-based systems, is required
- Proficiency in Python, sufficient to independently build and ship working systems, is required
- Ability to take an ambiguous problem statement to a working artifact, own it end to end, and abandon it without ceremony when the evidence says it doesn't work, is required
- Ability to communicate technical concepts to both non-technical business users as well as technical stakeholders is required
More about this role
Our team secures the AI in ServiceNow's products and platform from adversaries. As AI agents gain the ability to reason, retrieve context, and take real action on behalf of users, they become a new and largely unmapped attack surface - and the controls that protect them mostly don't exist yet. We build them.

- Analyze the security of AI agent systems - how the harness assembles context and drives the tool-calling loop, how agents plan and delegate, what they persist to memory, and how all of it responds to untrusted input - and find where an adversary can subvert them
- Design and build security controls for agentic systems: static analysis of agent and tool configurations, runtime policy enforcement, behavioral detection, and mitigations for tool and goal hijacking
- Build working prototypes end to end, then partner with engineering to harden the ones that...
