  • Experience in automating and deploying application security tools within CI/CD pipelines.
  • Genuine interest in machine learning and security engineering, with the ability to discuss relevant threats (e.g., training data leakage, prompt injection, multi-tenancy workloads).
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively to achieve objectives.
  • Skilled in communicating complex technical concepts, risks, and threats to non-technical audiences.

We offer competitive benefits and perks, including health and wellness programs, equity options, and more, to support you in bringing your best self to work.
