Job Description

Join Secure Code Warrior to create a safer digital landscape by assisting companies to secure their software through developer-led practices!

Secure Code Warrior’s mission is to establish new standards for coding that transform the ways software is created. We do this by providing the world’s leading agile learning platform that delivers the most effective secure coding solution for developers to learn, apply, and retain software security principles. More than 600 enterprises trust Secure Code Warrior to implement agile learning security programs, build safer software, and create a culture of developer-driven security. We are a venture-backed company with offices in Australia, the United States, Belgium, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.

Reporting to the VP of Engineering, the R&D Lead is a new, staff-level engineering role dedicated entirely to forward-looking technical discovery, agentic workflow research, and landscape intelligence. This is a maker and researcher role, not an operational or managerial one.

As the founding member of our R&D function, you will tackle the "hard problems" on our roadmap, providing the technical proof-of-concepts that will define our future product offerings. You are physically embedded in our APAC team to stay close to the AI Governance and Risk Intelligence domains—the primary consumers of your research output. In this role, you aren't just building features; you are defining the technical bedrock of a new category.
