Staff security engineer, application security
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples. We should follow that naming. So we need headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have content.
We have content: About the role (description). Could also have Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (What You Need). Benefits (Benefits & Perks). Pay (Compensation Range). Schedule? Not mentioned (hybrid). Could we include Schedule? The posting says "This role is hybrid from our New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle offices". That's schedule/location info. Could be considered Schedule? Might be better to include as a short paragraph under About the role or separate? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we could add a Schedule section with hybrid info. But they gave examples of headings; we can use Schedule if we have content. The hybrid info is specific. So we can include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Staff Security Engineer, Applications". Good.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details from each section.
Let's extract content:
About WRITER (company description) - maybe we can include under About the role? Actually About the role heading should contain description of role and maybe company overview? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can have About the role section containing both company description and role overview. But we must not repeat job title. We'll include paragraphs.
Responsibilities: from "What You'll Do". That's a list of bullet points (though not formatted as list). We'll convert to - .
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: from "What You Need". That's a list of bullet points. We'll put under Requirements (or Qualifications). Could combine but better to have one section maybe Requirements. We'll include all points.
Benefits: from "Benefits & Perks (US Full-time Employees)". We'll list bullet points.
Pay: from "Compensation Range: $183K - $240K". We'll put under Pay.
Schedule: from hybrid info: "This role is hybrid from our New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle offices, reporting to the head of security engineering." We'll put under Schedule.
We must remove EEO etc. Also remove the line "*This role is open to Mid, Sr. and Staff level candidates". That's substantive? It's about level. Could be included under Requirements maybe. It's a note about level. We'll keep it as part of Requirements.
Also remove "🚀 About WRITER" emoji maybe keep text but not emoji? We can keep text but emojis are okay? Probably fine to keep but we can strip emojis? Not required. We'll keep the text.
We must not include markdown code fences. Just raw HTML.

About the role
WRITER is where the world's leading enterprises orchestrate AI-powered work. Our vision is to expand human capacity through superintelligence. And we're proving it's possible – through powerful, trustworthy AI that unites IT and business teams together to unlock enterprise-wide transformation. With WRITER's end-to-end platform, hundreds of companies like Mars, Marriott, Uber, and Vanguard are building and deploying AI agents that are grounded in their company's data and fueled by WRITER's enterprise-grade LLMs. Valued at $1.9B and backed by industry-leading investors including Premji Invest, Radical Ventures, and ICONIQ Growth, WRITER is rapidly cementing its position as the leader in enterprise generative AI. Founded in 2020 with office hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and London, our team thinks big and moves fast, and we're looking for smart, hardworking builders and scalers to join us on our journey to create a better future of work with AI.
This is where security meets innovation at enterprise scale. As a staff security engineer, applications at WRITER, you'll be building the security foundations that protect the AI systems powering some of the world's most recognizable brands. You'll work at the intersection of application security, AI infrastructure, and developer enablement—partnering with engineering teams to embed security into every line of code while ensuring our platform remains both powerful and trustworthy. The opportunity is massive: you'll help define how enterprise AI applications are secured, from threat modeling our LLM architectures to building automated security controls that scale across our growing platform. This isn't about saying "no"—it's about finding creative ways to say "yes, and here's how we do it securely." You'll tackle challenges that most security engineers never encounter: securing AI agents, protecting training data pipelines, and designing controls for systems that didn't exist a few years ago. This role is hybrid from our New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle offices, reporting to the head of security engineering.
But we already have Schedule section for hybrid info; maybe we should not duplicate. Better to keep About the role without hybrid info, and put hybrid info in Schedule. So we split.
Thus About the role includes company description and role overview (excluding hybrid). Let's extract role overview: "This is where security meets innovation at enterprise scale.

We'll put that in About the role.
Schedule: "This role is hybrid from our New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle offices, reporting to the head of security engineering."
Now Responsibilities: list from "What You'll Do". Let's extract each sentence as bullet.
- Build security into the DNA of our AI platform by conducting threat modeling sessions with product teams, designing secure architectures for new features, and ensuring security considerations shape product decisions from day one—not after the fact
- Own and evolve our application security program including establish and maintain SAST/DAST scanning in CI/CD pipelines, conducting security code reviews for critical changes, and building automation that catches vulnerabilities before they reach production
- Partner with engineering teams to establish and champion secure coding standards, creating reusable security patterns and libraries that make it easier for developers to build securely by default
- Design and recommend security features and products that help secure customer environments. You are the advocate and the vision for how we protect and secure customers.
- Integrate and leverage AI agents to help increase velocity for the security team and the overarching engineering org to ensure that we are proactive in minimizing risk while we build products
- Lead security assessments and penetration testing of WRITER's applications, AI services, and APIs, identifying vulnerabilities across our tech stack and working collaboratively with teams to remediate issues at scale
- Design and implement security controls for protecting data pipelines, model training environments, and customer-facing AI agents
- Stay ahead of emerging threats in the AI/ML security landscape, researching attack vectors specific to LLMs and generative AI, and proactively building defenses against novel risks
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: from "What You Need". Also include note about level.
- Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in application security engineering, with a proven track record of securing large-scale production systems—bonus points if you've worked in fast-growing startups or high-growth environments
- Understanding of developer experience and developer workflows for shipping features and products. You care deeply about reducing risk while considering velocity of engineers.
- Technical expertise in at least two programming languages (Python, Java, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript) and the ability to read and review code across multiple languages, understanding both business logic and security implications
- Knowledge of security tools and methodologies including SAST/DAST solutions, vulnerability management platforms, security testing frameworks, and DevSecOps practices—you know which tools to use and when automation beats manual review
- Excellent communication skills that allow you to translate complex security concepts into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences—you can explain why something matters and motivate teams to action
- A builder's mindset that looks for opportunities to automate, scale, and empower rather than create bottlenecks—you understand that security enables the business, not blocks it
- Alignment with WRITER's values of Connect (building strong relationships across teams), Challenge (pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI security), and Own (taking end-to-end responsibility for the security of our platform)
- This role is open to Mid, Sr. and Staff level candidates
