Software Engineer II

About the role

This is one of the hardest, most important problems in security right now, as companies adopt AI faster than they can protect the data behind it. You'll own features end to end on the core of the platform, alongside a talented group of engineers with deep expertise in distributed systems, ML, and scale. Great security doesn't slow a company down, it makes moving fast safe. That's what you'll build.

• Turn ambiguous problems into shipped features, and own how they get built

• Raise the bar for the team through code review, design feedback, and mentoring engineers earlier in their careers

Requirements

• Use AI tools to move faster, and you want to get better at using them well
• Frontend experience a plus
