## About the role

You will secure the product and platform that run Sycamore’s enterprise agents. The surface spans user-facing applications, APIs, agent runtimes, tools and connectors, identity and authorization, untrusted code execution, multi-tenant data, cloud infrastructure, and the software-delivery system itself. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5-12 years of software or security engineering experience. We will make exceptions for exceptional people in either direction
- Strong software-engineering fundamentals and evidence that you have built, shipped, and operated security-relevant production systems, not only assessed them
- Strong understanding of trust boundaries, least privilege, identity, authorization, secrets, cryptography, isolation, secure software design, and common web and distributed-systems vulnerabilities
- An attacker’s curiosity paired with a builder’s judgment. You can demonstrate how a system fails, but your work is not finished until the safer path works in production
- Practical risk judgment. You distinguish plausible impact from theoretical concern, prioritize the highest-leverage work, and avoid both security theater and reckless shortcuts
- A collaborative approach that raises engineering velocity and ownership rather than turning Security into a late-stage approval queue
