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.
