ABOUT COGENT SECURITY

Cogent is an Applied AI Lab building the next generation of AI agents for cybersecurity. AI has fundamentally changed how attacks happen, allowing malicious actors to operate at unprecedented speed and scale. Our AI Taskforce assesses petabytes of enterprise data to remediate these issues before critical breaches occur.

To stay at the cutting edge, we blend frontier research with real-world execution. Alongside our core product work, Cogent Research serves as our applied AI lab - providing the research needed to make agentic security workflows a reality.

Since coming out of stealth, Cogent has experienced rapid growth. We partner with Fortune 500 companies to secure some of the most complex production environments in the world. We're backed by Greylock and our team includes people from:

- Top universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Penn, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, and Waterloo

- High-growth companies like Scale AI, Databricks, Stripe, Tesla, and Coinbase

- Cybersecurity leaders from Wiz, Abnormal AI, and Zscaler

- Research labs like DeepMind and SAIL

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Agent Engineer to design, build, and deploy mission-critical AI agents that operate in complex customer environments and drive measurable security outcomes. This is a highly cross-functional, forward-deployed role - you'll work directly with customers to understand their needs, adapt our platform to their environment, and continuously iterate on solutions that scale to millions of real-world events.

You'll own projects end-to-end: from initial implementation and data onboarding, to deploying in production, to integrating feedback into our core agent platform. Your work will directly shape how our agents detect threats, triage incidents, and automate security workflows for Fortune 500 organizations.

This role is built for engineers who thrive in high-impact environments, love solving hard technical problems, and want to see the tangible results of their work in the field.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design & Deploy AI Agents - build security-focused AI agents that reason over large datasets, interact with security systems, and handle complex real-world workflows

- Own Implementations End-to-End - lead technical delivery for new and existing customers, from data ingestion and transformation pipelines to configuration, workflow design, and feature extension

- Integrate the Latest Models at Scale - experiment with, evaluate, and integrate the latest text, voice, and multi-modal models into production environments

- Adapt to Diverse Environments - work directly with customer security teams to integrate our agents with their tools, processes, and data sources

- Drive Platform Evolution - identify cross-customer trends and translate field insights into platform improvements and new capabilities

- Solve Complex Technical Problems - debug deep in the stack, investigate edge cases, and ensure our agents meet enterprise-grade reliability and performance standards

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in high-velocity or customer-facing environments

- Proficiency in Python and TypeScript, with strong skills in asynchronous programming and building robust data integrations

- Strong debugging and systems thinking abilities; comfortable tracing issues across multiple layers of a stack

- Clear communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical contexts

- Thrive in ambiguity, take ownership end-to-end, and prioritize customer outcomes over output

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with multi-modal AI models, enterprise SaaS, security operations, or behavioral analytics

- Familiarity with large-scale data ingestion, transformation pipelines, and real-time processing

FOR CALIFORNIA BASED APPLICANTS

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
