The posting

NetSPI+Synack is a leader in offensive security, combining elite human expertise with agentic AI to help organizations identify, validate, prioritize, and remediate exploitable risk across their entire attack surface. Its platform delivers expert-validated testing in depth, continuously, or on demand, from pre-production code to live production environments, so security teams can separate vulnerability noise from real risk, including the growing threat of AI-driven attacks. With global reach and more than 13 million hours of real-world offensive testing experience, NetSPI+Synack serves many of the world's largest enterprises and government organizations with one ambition: nothing left to exploit.

We are looking for individuals with a collaborative, innovative, and customer-first mindset to join our team. Learn more about our award-winning workplace culture and get to know our A-Team at www.netspi.com/careers and www.synack.com/careers.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (AI), where you'll design and ship AI agents that plan, reason, drive security tooling and surface exploitable vulnerabilities, running autonomously inside sandboxed environments. It's a hands-on senior role spanning applied AI and cybersecurity. You'll own systems end to end and raise the technical bar for the team around 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.
