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
• Design, build, and maintain high-quality, scalable, secure outbound security services meeting FIPS compliance and regulated-environment requirements • Architect and operate mission-critical egress services with reliability and security as first-class design constraints, not afterthoughts Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, Java, Go, or a comparable strongly-typed language at production scale
- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, OO design, distributed systems tradeoffs
- Production experience running services on Kubernetes (deployments, Helm, CI/CD) in a SaaS/multi-tenant environment. This is assumed, not a differentiator
- Working understanding of core network and application security concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, TLS/PKI fundamentals, proxies, firewalls, allowlisting/denylisting)
- Demonstrated security-first engineering habits: secure coding practices, threat modeling, code review discipline
- Direct experience in outbound/egress security, forward proxies, SSRF mitigation, DNS security, or data loss/exfiltration prevention, including egress gateways, network policy enforcement, or TLS inspection
More about this role
Platform Security builds foundational security infrastructure and AI-driven detection systems for enterprise-scale operations. Our mission is to make security proactive, intelligent, and seamlessly integrated into the ServiceNow platform. Outbound Security within Platform Security owns the controls on traffic leaving the ServiceNow platform across multiple domains: egress filtering and policy, outbound proxying, SSRF protection, data exfiltration prevention, and workload egress identity for a SaaS platform. This is core, regulated-environment security engineering.
As a Staff AI Security & Outbound Security Engineer, you will architect and deliver enterprise-scale security solutions that integrate outbound security systems with machine learning, reasoning engines, and real-time inference. You will bring deep expertise in network and application egress security, strong technical leadership, and hands-on machine learning depth. You will design and operate intelligent, adaptive security systems for egress control, outbound proxy infrastructure, and exfiltration detection at SaaS scale.
