This role will conduct security architecture and design reviews, lead threat modeling, perform code and business logic reviews, and serve as a primary security advocate across the engineering community. You will continuously assess workflows, leverage your engineering expertise to build automated processes and AI agents, and provide expert escalation support whenever automated solutions fall short.

You will be responsible for the following but not limited to:

Possessing deep expertise in application design and security, you excel at identifying root causes and building sustainable, customer-focused solutions. With exceptional organizational and communication skills, you manage competing priorities effortlessly to drive meaningful results. You constantly seek opportunities to optimize work using AI and automation while recognizing when human judgment is essential.

  • Experience performing security requirements analysis for large-scale deployments across Web, IoT, Mobile, and AI environments.
  • Hands-on development experience in languages such as Swift, Java, Scala, Python, or C/C++

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

  • Experience building complex AI systems and agentic workflows using technologies such as Claude Code Skills, LangChain, or custom harnesses.
  • Proficiency in mobile security and application development across iOS and Android platforms.
  • Experience in root cause analysis and technical problem-solving within complex environments.
  • Expertise in conducting penetration testing for mobile and web applications.
  • Industry-recognized certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSP, CCSK, GSEC, GIAC, or GPEN.

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.
