They are investing heavily in applied AI - not as an experiment, but as a core part of their product and platform strategy. The engineering culture is technically rigorous, cross-functional and genuinely collaborative, with AI, security and engineering teams working in close alignment. This is a high-impact environment where the work you do shapes both the product and the platform that powers it. What You'll Be Doing You'll work across the full lifecycle of AI-driven systems - from platform infrastructure through to production features. Your day-to-day will span: Building autonomous systems to automate complex security workflows end-to-end Developing and shipping AI-driven features into live production environments Contributing to an internal AI platform designed for scalable, reusable model deployment Working on adaptive models that learn and evolve from real customer environments Developing systems that correlate data across multiple sources to quantify and surface risk Contributing to AI-driven threat detection capabilities Collaborating closely with engineering, research and security teams Your Impact This is a role with meaningful reach. The systems you build will directly influence how security threats are detected, triaged and resolved - at scale, in real environments. You'll help shape the internal AI platform that other engineers build on, and your contributions to adaptive modelling and risk quantification will have lasting product impact. In a domain where the stakes are high, the engineering needs to match and you'll be central to making that happen.
