Responsibilities:

• Building leading software ahead of the curve to accelerate and improve cybersecurity tooling for AI.
• Collaborating closely with research teams and product teams to develop research code into alpha versions of products.
• Rapidly identifying the highest-value MVP for ambiguous security and identity problems, prototyping solutions, validating them with partner teams, and iterating towards production-ready services.
