About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer who ships. This is a hands-on builder role for an engineer who is as comfortable defining the architecture of an agentic workflow as they are reviewing the production code that runs it. You will work at the intersection of LLMs, distributed systems, and real customer problems, turning emerging AI capabilities into features that security teams rely on every day.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and ship customer-facing AI-powered product features using TypeScript, Go, and AWS, owning quality and reliability end-to-end
• Architect and implement agentic workflows, LLM pipelines, and intelligent automation that help customers surface faster, more actionable security insights
• Integrate foundation models into existing product surfaces with a practical eye toward latency, cost, output quality, and evaluation
• Use AI-native development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, and similar) as a core part of your workflow, setting the standard for how this team builds
• Lead architecture and code reviews with a focus on production-grade reliability, security, and maintainability
• Partner with product and design to translate user needs into compelling AI-driven experiences, contributing product judgment alongside technical execution
• Own projects end-to-end from concept through production, including monitoring, iteration, and improvement post-launch
• Stay current with the AI tooling and foundation model landscape and bring relevant advances into our roadmap and practices

Required Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong track record shipping customer-facing product features
