About the role:

  • The way software gets secured is changing; we're building systems that automate security research.
  • You'll set your own direction, work with customers, and ship research to a wide audience.
  • Blend application security, program analysis, and applied AI to make customers safer.

What you'll do:

  • Build detection at scale using deterministic analysis and LLM reasoning.
  • Make LLMs viable for security-critical work with precise, cost-aware pipelines.

  • Strong application security expertise across languages and frameworks.
  • Experience finding vulnerabilities and explaining their impact.
  • A builder's mindset and curiosity about applied AI/LLMs.
