The posting

Most boards and executives are currently flying blind when it comes to cyber risk. They are guessing. At Safe, we’ve built an AI-driven engine that finally gives the C-Suite a clear, quantified, and real-time view of their security posture. We don’t just provide data; we provide certainty.

We are a $170M Series C-funded category leader. We don’t play in the mid-market; we operate at the highest levels of global enterprise. Today, we are proud to serve 10% of the Fortune 500, protecting global icons such as Apple, Netflix, AT&T, Verizon, and Victoria’s Secret.

As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.

The Culture Memo: Our Operating System

Safe is not a typical corporate environment. We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team. We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.

  • Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.
  • The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet. Our work must be bulletproof. Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.
  • Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it. From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.
  • Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating. We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.
  • The Series C Hustle: We have the stability of a well-funded leader but the heart of a startup.

The Perks & Ownership:

We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners. We trust our people to manage their results and their time.

  • Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder. You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.
  • Unlimited Leaves: We don’t believe in clock-watching. We offer unlimited leave because we trust you to take the time you need to recharge while staying committed to the mission.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.
  • Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively. For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.

As a Principal Engineer - AI, you will define and lead the technical direction of AI systems that power Safe’s CRQ, CTEM, and TPRM products, including agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, LLM orchestration, and AI-native developer tooling. You’ll be the hands-on architect behind Safe’s AI engineering stack, bridging model intelligence with production-grade infrastructure.

You’ll collaborate with product, data, and platform teams to design scalable, explainable, and enterprise-ready systems.

This is a high-impact, technical leadership role that will shape how AI is built, deployed, and governed across Safe.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Architect Safe’s AI Systems: Design and scale AI-driven components — LLM orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector stores, prompt pipelines, and AI microservices. Drive architecture for AI observability, safety, and evaluation (precision, recall, F1, hallucination detection, cost metrics).
  • Productionize AI Agents: Build multi-turn, goal-oriented agent systems that automate reasoning across TPRM, CTEM, and CRQ domains (e.g., control reviews, issue RCA, automated responses). Ensure reliability, traceability, and deterministic behavior in production.
  • AI Infrastructure & Platform Ownership: Partner with Platform & DevOps teams to operationalize model serving (AWS SageMaker, Bedrock, or self-hosted Llama), build AI APIs, and manage model lifecycle and versioning. Establish feature stores, embedding management, and in-memory retrieval layers.
  • Data Pipeline & Knowledge Graph Integration: Work with Data Engineering to design pipelines for structured and unstructured data ingestion, semantic indexing, and context retrieval (Snowflake + Iceberg + LlamaIndex).
  • AI Evaluation, Monitoring & Governance: Define internal frameworks for golden dataset validation, LLM evaluation (LangFuse/LangSmith), and safety enforcement policies. Implement human-in-the-loop (HITL) mechanisms and continuous feedback loops.
  • Mentor & Multiply: Guide AI and backend engineers on architectural design, experimentation methodologies, and prompt optimization. Collaborate with product leaders to translate abstract AI goals into measurable engineering deliverables.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Experience: 12+ years total experience in software engineering, including 4+ years building AI/ML systems or large-scale data/LLM infrastructure.
  • Core Technical Skills:
  • MLOps & Infra: Familiar with model versioning, CI/CD for ML, and performance optimization for real-time inference.
  • Applied AI Focus: Practical understanding of evaluation metrics, hallucination detection, RAG reliability, and enterprise AI safety.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience integrating AI into cybersecurity or risk management products
  • Familiarity with multi-agent systems and autonomous workflows (CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen)
  • Experience building AI evaluation dashboards and AI observability stacks
  • Knowledge of knowledge graphs, semantic search, or retrieval pipelines
  • Exposure to data governance, compliance, or SOC2/ISO 27001 environments
  • Published research, open-source contributions, or prior leadership of AI teams is a strong plus

If you’re passionate about cyber risk, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to be part of a team that’s redefining security, we want to hear from you! 🚀

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.
