This client is revolutionizing the $2B threat modeling market with the first AI-native secure-by-design platform. Our AI agents automate security design reviews, threat modeling, and enforcement of security requirements-empowering development teams to build secure software without friction.
The Role
We're looking for a FoundingAI Engineer to design and develop autonomous agents capable of reasoning about software security, integrating with modern development workflows, and automating complex security processes.
What You'll Do
- Develop AI Agents: Build and deploy intelligent systems that analyze security policies, threat models, and design documentation.
- Automate Security with AI: Implement models that extract business logic and generate structured security requirements pre-code.
- Reasoning & Decision Systems: Design multi-agent architectures to conduct security reviews and enforce compliance at scale.
- Workflow Integrations: Integrate with tools like GitHub, Jira, Notion, AWS, and Terraform to surface security insights in real time.
- LLM & Model Engineering: Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs to improve the accuracy and contextual relevance of security recommendations.
- Compliance Intelligence: Build systems that validate security controls against frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CISA's Secure-by-Design.
- Scalability & Performance: Optimize for speed and efficiency when analyzing large-scale codebases and documentation.
What You Bring
- AI & ML Expertise: 3+ years of experience with LLMs, reinforcement learning, or autonomous agents.
- Security Know-How: Solid understanding of secure software design and threat modeling methodologies.
- Reasoning Systems: Familiarity with constraint-solving, symbolic reasoning, or decision-making AI.
- Tech Stack Proficiency: Python, plus AI/ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, OpenAI APIs.
- DevSecOps Experience: Comfortable with version control, CI/CD, and secure development lifecycles.
- APIs & Integrations: Experience with APIs and connecting to developer ecosystems (Jira, GitHub, AWS).
- Security Tooling: Knowledge of tools like SAST, DAST, CSPM, and compliance workflows.
Bonus Points
- Experience with Semgrep, CodeQL, or Snyk
- Knowledge of graph reasoning, semantic analysis, or symbolic AI
- Familiarity with cloud security (AWS, GCP, Azure) and Terraform/Kubernetes
- Industry experience in fintech, healthtech, or other regulated environments
