What You’ll Do

• Assess and secure AI and generative AI features against emerging risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, and model misuse
• Perform hands-on code reviews and penetration tests, and manage our bug bounty and external testing programs
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering and Compliance partners to balance security with speed and a great user experience
• Create secure coding guidelines and training that raise the security bar across engineering
• Mentor and support engineers, helping to shape a strong, security-first engineering culture

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in product security, application security, or software engineering, with a strong track record of securing products at scale
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Deep knowledge of web application and API security, including the OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerability classes
• Proven experience with threat modeling, secure architecture reviews, and hands-on code review
• Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or Java
• Experience integrating security tooling into CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive independently and in collaborative teams
• Experience supporting B2B or enterprise SaaS products
• Bonus: Background securing AI, LLM, or generative AI applications
• Bonus: Industry certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, GWAPT, or CSSLP
