Why This Role?Ready to build AI agents that revolutionize enterprise security? 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.
Your Role:As a Senior Software Engineer focused on agentic security, you'll build intelligent systems that empower security teams. Your responsibilities will include:
- 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 our AI agents can safely interact with sensitive enterprise data
- Create the 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, sometimes requiring custom solutions where standard libraries fall short
- Conduct security testing of both the agents you build and the platform that runs them.
You may be a good fit if:- 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 think about security at 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
- Thrive in fast-paced environments where you can adapt to evolving priorities
- Excited about the intersection of AI/ML and security engineering.
