About the Role

You’ll build systems that give defenders an advantage at a scale few engineering teams encounter. You might help an enterprise identify, test, and deploy patches across hundreds of thousands of code repositories, or help a security team analyze petabytes of logs for signs of malicious agents or coordinated attacks. Across these deployments, you’ll build tools that customer engineers can trust to support consequential security decisions. You’ll work directly with customer security teams, from CISOs to frontline analysts. As AI changes how attackers operate, you’ll help these teams determine where their defenses need to evolve, prioritize what to build, and validate solutions with the engineers who will operate them. Alongside OpenAI’s account teams, you’ll translate security priorities into deployed systems that help defenders cover more ground. You’ll also help shape what OpenAI builds next. When you identify a gap between what defenders need and what today’s models or products can do, you’ll partner with Research and Product to define, build, and test capabilities that address it.

Responsibilities

Partner with customer security leaders and OpenAI’s Go-to-Market team to scope engagements, establish responsibilities, and define measurable success criteria.
Lead technical design and implementation alongside customer engineers.
Integrate agents into security workflows, establish access boundaries, and determine which actions require human review.
Build evaluations grounded in the decisions defenders make.
Test whether a fix blocks a known exploit while preserving expected application behavior.
Measure detection speed and false-positive rates by replaying historical attacks alongside normal traffic.
Guide production rollout with the engineers who will operate the system.
Provide the observability and controls they need to understand system behavior, intervene when necessary, and expand adoption with confidence.
Translate successful approaches across deployments into reusable tools and engineering practices that other defenders can adopt.

Requirements

5+ years of software engineering experience, including building and shipping production software.
Experience protecting production systems through work in security engineering, infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or product engineering.
Experience building and evaluating AI agents for software engineering workflows.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and practices that maintain code quality, reliability, and security.
Ability to navigate unfamiliar codebases and contribute maintainable, production-quality changes.
Ability to communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to engineering teams and senior security stakeholders.
