Staff Software Engineer - Product Security

Location: Petah Tikva, il

Company Description

Today, is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better.

Join us to put AI to work for people.

Job Description

’s Product Security organisation is building a dedicated Security R&D function — a software engineering team that builds security capabilities with the same engineering rigour as ’s product organisation. We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer to be a core contributor on this team.

Security R&D operates in two complementary modes: open contribution to product engineering — writing code alongside product teams where security expertise adds value — and developing its own security capabilities, including internal tooling, externally facing product features, AI-powered security automation, and third-party integrations.

This is a new team being stood up in Petah Tikva, Israel, co-located with ’s AI Security Research team. You will help shape the team’s engineering practices and technical foundation from day one.

This role reports to the Sr. Engineering Manager, Security R&D.

What You Will Do

Build Security Capabilities

  • Design and develop security tooling, automation, and platform services that operate at ’s enterprise scale.
  • Contribute code directly into product engineering codebases, embedding security capabilities where they have the highest impact.
  • Build AI-powered security automation by integrating in-house models and third-party services into production workflows.
  • Leverage ’s platform — Agent Framework runtime, ACL enforcement, data layer, and workflow engine — to create security capabilities that external vendors cannot match.

Collaborate Across Teams

  • Work closely with the AI Security Research team on tooling for AI agent security, translating research insights into production-grade engineering.
  • Partner with product engineering teams during open contribution engagements, earning trust through code quality, reliability, and delivery.
  • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions, contributing to the team’s technical standards and engineering culture.

Grow with the Team

  • Help define engineering best practices as a founding member of the Security R&D team.
  • Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the team scales, helping maintain the engineering bar.
  • Stay current on emerging AI/ML technologies and security threats, bringing new ideas into the team’s roadmap.

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Builder-led culture: Security R&D is defined by engineering output, not advisory reviews. We build production security capabilities with the same discipline as product engineering.
  • Dual operating model: The team both contributes directly to product engineering and develops its own security products and services.
  • Platform advantage: owns the entire stack — runtime, ACLs, data layer, workflow engine. You will build security capabilities that no external vendor can replicate.
  • Founding team: This is a new team being built from scratch. You will shape its engineering culture, technical standards, and identity from day one.
  • AI intersection: The role sits alongside the AI Security Research team, placing you at the frontier of securing AI systems at enterprise scale.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you have:

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems at scale.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Strong hands-on proficiency in Python and Java. You write production code daily and take pride in software craftsmanship.
  • Solid foundation in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and building services that meet enterprise requirements for scalability, reliability, and performance.
  • Experience working in collaborative engineering environments, contributing to shared codebases with high code quality standards.
  • Interest in or exposure to security engineering concepts — application security, infrastructure security, identity systems, or trust & safety. A security mindset is valued; deep security expertise can be developed on the team.
  • Curiosity about AI/ML and next-generation AI technologies. You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you should be excited about building at the intersection of security and AI.

Preferred

  • Experience with security tooling development, SSDLC automation, or building security features into a product.
  • Familiarity with container/Kubernetes environments, cloud security, or infrastructure-as-code.
  • Exposure to AI/ML pipelines, LLM integration, or agentic frameworks.
  • Experience in a SaaS or platform company building multi-tenant enterprise software.
  • Experience working in a globally distributed engineering team.
