Required Staff Software Engineer - Product Security
Job Description
Our Product Security organisation is building a dedicated Security R&D function - a software engineering team that builds security capabilities with the same engineering rigour as our product organisation. We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer to be a core contributor on this team.
Security R&D operates in two complementary modes: open contribution to product engineering - writing code alongside product teams where security expertise adds value - and developing its own security capabilities, including internal tooling, externally facing product features, AI-powered security automation, and third-party integrations.
This is a new team being stood up in Petah Tikva, Israel, co-located with our AI Security Research team. You will help shape the teams engineering practices and technical foundation from day one.
This role reports to the Sr. Engineering Manager, Security R&D.
What You Will Do:
Build Security Capabilities:
Design and develop security tooling, automation, and platform services that operate at our enterprise scale.
Contribute code directly into our product engineering codebases, embedding security capabilities where they have the highest impact.
Build AI-powered security automation by integrating in-house models and third-party services into production workflows.
Leverage our platform - Agent Framework runtime, ACL enforcement, data layer, and workflow engine - to create security capabilities that external vendors cannot match.
Collaborate Across Teams:
Work closely with the AI Security Research team on tooling for AI agent security, translating research insights into production-grade engineering.
Partner with product engineering teams during open contribution engagements, earning trust through code quality, reliability, and delivery.
Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions, contributing to the teams technical standards and engineering culture.
Grow with the Team:
Help define engineering best practices as a founding member of the Security R&D team.
Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the team scales, helping maintain the engineering bar.
Stay current on emerging AI/ML technologies and security threats, bringing new ideas into the teams roadmap.
What Makes This Role Unique
Builder-led culture: Security R&D is defined by engineering output, not advisory reviews. We build production security capabilities with the same discipline as product engineering.
Dual operating model: The team both contributes directly to product engineering and develops its own security products and services.
Platform advantage: we own the entire stack - runtime, ACLs, data layer, workflow engine. You will build security capabilities that no external vendor can replicate.
Founding team: This is a new team being built from scratch. You will shape its engineering culture, technical standards, and identity from day one.
AI intersection: The role sits alongside the AI Security Research team, placing you at the frontier of securing AI systems at enterprise scale.
Requirements: 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems at scale.
Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
Strong hands-on proficiency in Python and Java. You write production code daily and take pride in software craftsmanship.
Strong, hands-on experience and a solid understanding of AI/ML pipelines, LLM integration, and agentic frameworks, including their underlying architectures and workflows.
Solid foundation in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and building services that meet enterprise requirements for scalability, reliability, and performance.
Experience working in collaborative engineering environments, contributing to shared codebases with high code quality standards.
Interest in or exposure to security engineering concepts.
This position is open to all candidates.
