Responsibilities

  • Set the technical direction and roadmap for secure agent execution across Security, Infrastructure, and Product Engineering.
  • Design, build, and operate platforms that allow security agents to discover and validate vulnerabilities within authorized execution boundaries.
  • Build reusable controls for agent tool use, code execution, network and filesystem access, resource consumption, workload lifecycle, identity, secrets, and data access.
  • Partner with product sandbox and internal agent platform owners to make architectural decisions and integrate shared security capabilities.
  • Enable secure internal use of open-source models by protecting model serving, agent execution, and sensitive data.
  • Develop adversarial tests, evaluations, telemetry, interruption controls, and safe termination mechanisms for agent activity.
  • Lead delivery and adoption across teams, mentor engineers, and remain hands-on through implementation and production operation.

Requirements

  • 10+ years developing and running production software, including technical leadership across initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams.
  • Strong software engineering skills in Go, Rust, Python, or C++, with practical experience in Linux systems, networking, and containerized infrastructure.
  • Deep expertise in execution security, such as sandboxing, operating-system isolation, container or virtual-machine security, or platforms that execute untrusted code.
  • Experience translating threats into enforceable boundaries and testing how those boundaries fail.
  • Experience building shared platforms, services, or libraries and supporting adoption through interfaces, documentation, and safe migrations.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure and distributed systems, including observability, failure handling, capacity management, and dependable production operation.
  • Fluency with AI-assisted engineering and agentic workflows, including evaluating risks from tool use, code execution, and sensitive-data access.
  • Strong communication and technical judgment, with experience aligning teams on ambiguous problems and delivering decisions.
  • Preferred experience with microVMs, hypervisors, sandbox runtimes, Linux isolation mechanisms, agent runtimes, tool-execution frameworks, automated security testing, vulnerability research, penetration testing, adversarial agent evaluation, or securing self-hosted inference and open-source models.
