AI Engineer (Offensive Security)
About the role
What you'll work on
You'll help design, build, and improve AI systems that support real offensive security work. This may include:
- Autonomous hacking agents that carry out multi-step offensive workflows end to end. You'll design and build the architecture that makes them reliable and reusable.
- Backend and interfaces that surface these agents to consultants: APIs, services, and UIs that turn raw agent capability into tools consultants can use independently.
- Evaluation and benchmarking, building realistic target labs and eval harnesses to measure agent performance, and the validation logic that confirms exploits and reduces false positives. All of it built on testable, observable, and maintainable systems.
- Gen-AI features for consultants, such as chatbot interfaces, text-generation tools, and strategy ideation features that solve real delivery problems.
- Applied AI research, separating what's genuinely useful from what's hype. You'll have regular research time and an unlimited training budget for continuous learning
The tech stack
Who you are
You're a strong engineer who's gone deep on LLMs and agents. You write good quality code, you think rigorously, you take problems and run with them end to end. What experience you need to be successful
- Strong production engineering experience
You should have proven experience writing high-quality production code and building reliable applications across at least a portion of our tech stack. This includes writing testable and maintainable software, designing systems end to end, working with CI/CD, deploying services, debugging production issues, and making sensible engineering trade-offs.
- Experience building and evaluating agentic workflows
You must have hands-on experience building agentic workflows or LLM-based systems that involve tool use, multi-step reasoning, orchestration, evaluation, or automation. We are especially interested in people who have thought deeply about how agents fail, how to measure performance, and how to move beyond impressive demos into reliable systems. This experience may come from professional work, open-source contributions, research, or serious side projects.
- Ownership, judgement, and clear communication.
You're excited to work on a frontier problem where AI is being applied to real offensive security workflows in new and meaningful ways. You can take a rough idea, shape the approach, make good technical decisions, build and ship the system, and iterate based on feedback. You keep the wider goal in view, test assumptions quickly, adapt as we learn, and communicate clearly throughout, whether you're documenting an architecture decision or explaining an agent failure mode to a non-AI specialist.
