About the Role

Responsibilities:

As a founding member of our Product Security team, you will be responsible for maturing our product development workflows, hardening our service and application architectures, and implementing your vision for a secure software development lifecycle. Our user-facing web applications and services are a primary point of interest for threat actors - you will be in the vanguard, responsible for protecting our cutting-edge large language models, user data, and reputation by denying attackers any foothold in our environment.

Job responsibilities may include:
  • Envisioning and implementing ways to holistically harden our product, including iOS and Android mobile applications, web applications, and the web services that support it all
  • Implementing framework-level mitigations for recurrent application vulnerabilities
  • Articulating and advocating for a comprehensive secure software development lifecycle
  • Integrating tooling into CI/CD pipelines to automate the secure development lifecycle
  • Hooking into product design processes to ensure new features are designed with security in mind from the start
  • Coordinating security assessments of product features, including regular penetration tests and managing our bug bounty program
Requirements:

Competitive candidates will have:
  • At least 5 years of experience in application or product security
  • Familiarity with common web application and web service attack vectors and their mitigations
  • Ability to understand and contribute code to complex codebases
  • Familiarity with common web application authentication flows.
  • Experience articulating and implementing a secure software development lifecycle in a fast-growing and agile startup
  • Familiarity with cloud environments such as GCP or AWS
  • Experience with common web application frameworks and system design patterns
  • Understanding of common CI/CD-based workflows
  • Proficiency in Linux-based server environments with a high degree of comfort on the Linux CLI
  • Experience architecting secure system designs to meet product requirements at scale
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes concepts
  • A demonstrated ability to work autonomously to identify and resolve problems independently
Outstanding candidates will have one or more of the following:
  • Experience with bug bounty program management
  • Familiarity with common mobile application vulnerabilities
  • First-hand experience with product feature development
  • Familiarity with React and/or React Native, TypeScript/JavaScript, NextJS, Node.js, Python, Django, Flask, or Golang
    • Our interview process does not require knowledge of any one specific technology or language - these are just some of the key technologies used at Character.ai
  • Previous experience in a technology startup

You will be a good fit if you are proactive and have a "get things done" mindset. Given our current pace of growth and load on our systems, most people have had a significant impact during their first week at the company.

Join our visionary team, on-site 3-5 days a week, at the forefront of next-generation AGI.
