TL;DR · Software Engineer (MTS)

The Software Engineer (MTS) joins the Frontier Strike team within Enterprise Security Technology to build and operate the Harness Orchestrator. This autonomous AI red-teaming platform continuously tests identity and AI-integrated systems against simulated attacks. You will design and extend Go microservices to orchestrate multi-container test suites, build policy-based sidecar gateways for least-privilege access, and implement secrets isolation systems with automated credential rotation. Key responsibilities include deploying containerized workloads on Kubernetes using Helm and Terraform on AWS, while integrating with LLM gateway services to monitor token usage. You will utilize Go, Python, Java, and REST or gRPC APIs to solve complex distributed systems problems. The role requires expertise in software security fundamentals, including the OWASP Top 10, to ensure safe, automated adversarial testing across production environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and extend Go microservices to orchestrate multi-container test suites and automated attack techniques.
  • Build policy-based sidecar gateways to enforce least-privilege access and blast-radius limits for test suites.
  • Implement pipeline stages to dedupe, suppress noise, and auto-escalate critical security findings.
  • Design per-test-suite secrets isolation with automated credential rotation to prevent cross-suite credential access.
  • Deploy and operate containerized workloads on Kubernetes using Helm and Terraform on AWS.
  • Integrate with LLM gateway services to track token usage, costs, and authorization for test executions.
  • Implement RBAC, network sandboxing, and geofencing to safely extend automated red-teaming to production.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot distributed components to ensure data integrity and proactively catch misconfigurations.

What we're looking for

  • 2 to 4 years of professional software development experience.
  • Proficiency in Go, with experience in Python or Java also acceptable.
  • Experience with distributed systems, microservices, and REST or gRPC APIs.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and Terraform in a cloud environment, AWS preferred.
  • Understanding of software security fundamentals including OWASP Top 10, least privilege, and secrets management.
  • Demonstrated AI-first approach to engineering using AI tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor in development workflows.
  • Advanced prompt engineering skills to write precise, structured prompts for reliable and secure AI outputs.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
