As a Staff Product Security Engineer, you will join the security team to ensure the secure path is the easiest path for both engineers and AI agents. You will lead the design and delivery of secure frameworks, paved paths, and workflow-native controls intended to eliminate recurring vulnerability classes before they reach production. Your daily work involves building guardrails, library-level controls, and specific security measures for AI-assisted development, including reusable rule packs for coding agents. You will conduct product security reviews, identify systemic debt, and integrate security into CI/CD and release processes. The role requires proficiency in Go, Python, or JS/TS, along with experience in cloud-native platforms and authentication systems. You will solve the challenge of maintaining security integrity as AI-assisted development accelerates code velocity beyond manual review capabilities.
