Full Stack Software Engineer, Cybersecurity Products

Details

The Cybersecurity Products team builds products at the frontier of AI and cybersecurity, including Codex Security and related cyber products. These products help teams find, validate, and remediate vulnerabilities, continuously improve software security, and test AI-powered applications before production.

The role involves building product experiences and systems that make AI-powered security useful in real engineering environments. The work spans web surfaces, APIs, orchestration, data models, and integrations, helping security and engineering teams move from a codebase or application to evidence-backed findings, prioritized remediation, and revalidation.

The role collaborates closely with product engineers, security researchers, and customer-facing teams. It includes fast-moving product development and systems challenges involving long-running workflows, large repositories, sensitive data, reliability, observability, and user trust. The position is based in San Francisco, California, with a hybrid work model requiring three days in the office per week.

Responsibilities

• Build end-to-end workflows for vulnerability discovery, security scanning, red teaming, findings review, remediation, and reruns.
• Design and operate backend services for long-running security work, including APIs, asynchronous orchestration, durable state, and integrations with developer workflows.
• Make complex security results actionable through clear product surfaces, strong evidence, thoughtful prioritization, and reliable reporting.
• Partner with security researchers, product teams, and users to evaluate quality, reduce noise, improve coverage, and ship safely.

Requirements

• Experience shipping production full-stack products across modern web frontends and backend services.
• Ability to design clear APIs and data models, reason about asynchronous systems, and diagnose reliability or performance problems.
• Product judgment focused on building solutions that experts trust while making sophisticated workflows usable for a broader set of engineers.
• Strong judgment around privacy, security, and correctness.
• Application-security or cybersecurity experience is helpful but not required.
