Santa Clara, CA, USA | Seattle, WA, USA
We are seeking a Senior Applied Scientist III to lead the architectural vision and development of an autonomous AI security platform that will redefine how security assessments and enforcement are conducted at scale.

* Lead the applied science team in exploring multi-agent LLM framework, and influence your organizations in adopting the promising approaches
* Develop a highly scalable, LLM-based intelligent security agent framework that enables internal teams to automate security analysis, generate application security reports, and enforce security policies.
* Combine depth and breadth of domain expertise and provide technical leadership to the entire team while also doing hands-on work by diving deep into details to diagnose complex system performance problems.
* Act as a technical mentor and leader, fostering a culture of innovation and security-first AI engineering.
