- Build and maintain scalable backend platforms, APIs, SDKs, and developer tooling used by internal engineering teams and security practitioners
- Define architectural best practices for agent workflow management, tool usage, memory, guardrails, observability, and safe automated actions
- Integrate the platform with vulnerability scanners, SAST/DAST tools, SBOM systems, ticketing platforms, and CI/CD pipelines
- Lead complex cross-functional technical initiatives across security engineering, platform infrastructure, AI/ML, and application development teams
- Define technical roadmaps, contribute to engineering strategy, and help drive build-versus-buy decisions
- Mentor engineers on agentic AI patterns, secure coding practices, DevSecOps automation, and platform reliability
- Conduct design reviews, architecture decision records, and retrospectives to continuously improve engineering quality
- Ensure the platform meets enterprise-grade standards for availability, performance, security, and auditability
- Implement observability, including logging, metrics, tracing, and runbooks for agentic workflows in production
- Partner with security teams to ensure the platform follows secure-by-design principles
- Drive automation and feedback loops to improve MTTR for vulnerability remediation
Skills
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production platforms, backend services, or developer tooling
- Proven experience leading complex, cross-team technical initiatives from design through production delivery
- Hands-on experience with AI/ML systems in production, especially LLM-based agents, orchestration, tool-calling, or prompt engineering at scale
- Strong experience with Python and/or Go for backend development; Rust or Java experience is a plus
- Strong knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or Tekton
- Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, LangChain, or similar technologies
- Understanding of common vulnerability classes, including CVEs, CWEs, OWASP Top 10, and remediation strategies
- Experience integrating APIs and tools across security, DevOps, and engineering platforms
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams
- Prior experience with security tooling, vulnerability management, DevSecOps automation, or application security
- Experience building autonomous remediation, code-fix generation, patch generation, or PR automation pipelines
- Experience with security tools such as Snyk, Veracode, Semgrep, Wiz, Tenable, or similar platforms
- Knowledge of software supply chain security, SBOM standards such as SPDX or CycloneDX, and dependency analysis
- Familiarity with static analysis, dynamic analysis, and AST manipulation for automated code fixes
- Experience working in regulated environments such as finance, healthcare, government, or other compliance-heavy industries
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or ISO 27001
- Certifications such as CISSP, CEH, AWS/GCP Security Specialty, or Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist are a plus
- Contributions to open-source security, AI/ML, or developer tooling projects are a plus
