Software Engineer, Security Agents

Role Overview

The North Security team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to create autonomous systems that handle the complex, critical tasks security practitioners face every day.

Key Responsibilities

• Build autonomous security agents that perform alert triage, secure code reviews, threat modeling, and vulnerability assessment.
• Develop agent orchestration systems that help security practitioners automate repetitive security tasks.
• Design and implement agent security controls to ensure AI agents can safely interact with sensitive enterprise data.
• Create security infrastructure that allows agents to operate in high-trust environments with stringent deployment requirements.
• Ship production-ready agent capabilities that run efficiently in resource-constrained environments.
• Research and implement novel security patterns for AI agent systems, including custom solutions where standard libraries fall short.
• Conduct security testing of both built agents and the platform running them.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing security features.
• Strong Python development skills with significant production experience.
• Experience building or working with autonomous systems, AI agents, or intelligent automation.
• Solid understanding of security principles including session management, authentication, authorization, and secure coding practices.
• Ability to assess security across multiple layers: application security, agent behavior security, and infrastructure security.
• Comfortable working across the full stack and diving into unfamiliar codebases to understand and fix issues.
• Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments and adapt to evolving priorities.
• Passion for the intersection of AI/ML and security engineering.
