You'll be joining what's essentially a startup within Bishop Fox all the innovation and rapid iteration of an early-stage venture, powered by the resources and reputation of an established security leader.You are an experienced AI engineer who thrives on building real systems that operate in messy, unpredictable environments. You care deeply about reliability, evaluation, and scalenot just whether something works once, but whether it works consistently in production.Your mission? Build autonomous AI agents that identify genuine vulnerabilities in production applications, capable of thinking, adapting, and hacking like the world's top penetration testers.What You Will DoPioneer AI-Driven Security TestingDesign and build intelligent autonomous security testing agents using large language models and cutting-edge AI/ML techniquesCreate systems that can autonomously perform reconnaissance, identify vulnerabilities, and execute sophisticated attack chainsPush the boundaries of what's possible when artificial intelligence meets offensive securityBuild robust planning, tool-use, and failure-handling mechanisms for agents operating in real-world, unpredictable applicationsRevolutionize Pen testing at ScaleDevelop services that think and act like elite attackers, but operate 24/7 across thousands of targetsTransform manual testing processes into intelligent, scalable automation pipelinesBuild systems that continuously evolve and improve their attack strategiesImplement long-running agent memory and context management so agents retain state, avoid redundant actions, and accumulate application knowledgeIntegrate with Enterprise-Grade InfrastructureConnect your AI agents into Bishop Fox's Cosmos cloud platformScale your creations to serve Fortune 100 clients with enterprise-level reliabilityDesign architectures that can handle massive concurrent testing operationsDevelop browser and application interaction infrastructure that enables agents to navigate, interact with, and test modern web applicationsExperiment & Innovate RapidlyPrototype breakthrough approaches to AI-driven security testingBuild sophisticated feedback loops that make your agents smarter over timeImplement safety mechanisms and ethical guardrails for responsible AI deploymentMeasure, iterate, and continuously enhance agent performanceDesign evaluation and monitoring systems that distinguish real vulnerabilities from false positives or hallucinated findingsCollaborate with Elite Security MindsWork directly with world-class penetration testers and security researchersPartner with data scientists and AI specialists to solve novel technical challengesContribute to a team culture where hacking expertise meets cutting-edge artificial intelligenceApply real-world production feedback from customer environments to refine agent behavior and system reliabilityYour Experience6+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systemsDeep AI/ML expertise hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI), or autonomous AI systemsAdvanced programming skills in Python and Golang with clean, scalable code practicesFull-stack capabilities comfortable building robust APIs, designing database schemas, and working with modern frontend frameworks (React/TypeScript experience valued)Practical experience designing, evaluating, and improving agent reliability, including handling failures, edge cases, and non-deterministic behaviorExperience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for reliable deploymentsAbility to architect systems that can scale from prototype to enterprise-grade solutionsMust be based in the San Francisco Bay Area; remote-first with occasional, ad hoc in-office meetings only when necessary.The Right MindsetPortfolio over pedigree we care more about what you've built than where you learned itExcitement about autonomous systems and AI agents that can operate independentlyComfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a fast-moving environmentStrong judgment in choosing the right tools, models, and architectural approaches for real-world constraintsBonus MultipliersExperience in penetration testing, red teaming, ethical hacking, or security researchUnderstanding of common vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and security frameworksKnowledge of security tools and methodologies (but we'll teach you what you don't know!)Open-source contributions, especially in AI/automation or security domainsHackathon victories or compelling side projects that demonstrate your creativityExperience in startup environments or greenfield product developmentPublications, talks, or thought leadership in AI or security communitiesFamiliarity with multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, or swarm intelligenceExperience with vector databases, RAG pipelines, or advanced prompt engineeringUnderstanding of AI safety, alignment, and responsible AI development practicesOur ValuesWe strive to live by our values every day, in support of our core tenets, which are to deliver the highest quality of work for our clients, quality of life for our team, and quality of business for our industry and our future.Be Excellent to Each OtherDo the Right ThingDo What Youll Say Youll DoGet Better TogetherGive a Sh*tWe offer a variety of benefits and perks, such as:Generous Time Off and Company-Wide HolidaysHealth Insurance options including Medical, Dental, VisionRetirement;
