Base pay range
Agentic AI, Software Engineer (Offensive Security) — We’re partnered with an established, well-funded security innovator building a next-generation AI-driven offensive security platform. The team operates like a startup within a larger organization and is scaling prototypes that already have strong enterprise interest. This is a rare opportunity to join early, take true ownership of agentic AI systems in production, and shape how security teams leverage autonomous workflows.
What you’ll do
Design, build, and ship production-grade AI agents (reasoning, planning, tool invocation, multi-step orchestration).
Turn R&D prototypes into reliable services: instrumentation, evaluation, monitoring, and iteration.
Integrate agents with real tools and data sources.
Collaborate closely with security engineers and product to prioritize high-impact automations.
Requirements
Hands-on experience building agentic AI systems beyond demos (planning, memory, tool use, error recovery).
Fluency with at least one orchestration framework (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or similar).
Security domain familiarity is a plus, but not required.
Location
San Francisco Bay Area (as listed in description; specifics may vary by role)
