## Description

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Risk to join our team. As a member of the Risk team, you will be responsible for designing and implementing LLM guardrails that detect abuse scenarios in AI-generated code and agent interactions. You will also build AI-powered detection systems that use LLMs to identify malicious patterns, classify threats, and automate response decisions.

In this role, you will work on problems that barely exist elsewhere, such as building guardrails for AI-generated code, detecting prompt injection attacks at scale, and using LLMs as a defensive tool against abuse. You will own problems end-to-end, from identifying emerging abuse patterns to shipping the systems that stop them at scale.

We are looking for someone with 4+ years of experience in security engineering, anti-abuse, trust & safety, or fraud detection. You should have strong programming skills in Python and/or TypeScript for building detection systems and automation. Experience with SQL and data analysis at scale is also required.

Nice to have skills include experience at a platform company dealing with user-generated content or compute abuse, background in fraud detection, payment abuse, or financial crime, familiarity with device fingerprinting, IP reputation, and email validation services, and experience with CI/CD security tooling.

Our team uses a variety of tools and technologies, including Python, TypeScript, Go, SQL, BigQuery, Hex, Slurper, Netwatch, Stytch, ClearOut, Dependabot, Snyk, SAST/SCA scanners, GCP, and Kubernetes.

If you are interested in this role, please apply through the link provided. We look forward to hearing from you!
