Job Description

This is a role for an engineer who wants to tackle the hardest unsolved problems in software development - where AI systems write code, deploy software, and make decisions at machine speed.

This is not a delivery role.

There is no neatly groomed backlog waiting for you.

 

Why this matters

Software development is shifting fast:

Developers writing code → AI-assisted coding and agentic systems making changes at machine speed.

And almost nobody has properly solved the questions that come next.

How do you ensure AI-generated code is secure?
How do you govern what AI agents can and can’t do?
And when something goes wrong, how do you trace what actually happened - and why?

You’ll explore these problems before they become products, build prototypes that test assumptions, and generate the technical intelligence that shapes the next generation of secure software development.

It’s a founding R&D role for a builder who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys solving problems that don’t have clear answers yet.

 

What you’ll actually do

You won’t be picking tickets off a backlog.

You’ll be:

• Taking on ambiguous, unsolved technical problems

• Pushing into the whitespace - exploring areas before they’re widely understood

• Prototyping quickly to test ideas (and killing what doesn’t work)

• Exploring areas like agent governance, AI-generated code risk, and system traceability

• Working directly with leadership to shape product direction

• Acting as a technical compass for where the company goes next

It’s equal parts engineering, research, and product thinking.

 

Why join?

• Direct line to leadership - your work shapes product direction, not just implementation

• A true R&D remit - explore, prototype, and decide what’s worth building (and what isn’t)

• Work at the frontier of AI + software development, where the problems aren’t solved yet

• Backed, established company with real customers - you’re building for impact, not hypotheticals

• Remote-first, with flexibility to operate how you work best

This is a chance to work at the point where AI, security, and software development collide - before it’s fully defined.

 

About you

You’re likely already operating at a senior/principal level and comfortable in ambiguity.

You’ve spent time in areas like:

• AI / LLM systems or agent workflows

• Developer tooling or platform engineering

• Security / secure software development

• Distributed systems, observability, or CI/CD

Technology exposure:

• Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, or Java

• Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud-native platforms

• GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, or developer platforms

• Security tooling or vulnerability detection systems

• AI frameworks, RAG systems, or model integration workflows
