Who You Are

The Agentic AI Software Engineer – Cybersecurity Systems designs, develops, and deploys advanced AI-driven software solutions to enhance cybersecurity detection, response, analysis, and automation capabilities. This role focuses on building and maintaining agent-based artificial intelligence systems capable of autonomously generating code, conducting security analyses, triaging alerts, identifying vulnerabilities, and recommending remediation strategies, with structured human oversight and validation.

The position requires the application of advanced knowledge in computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, secure software engineering, distributed systems, and cybersecurity principles. The role involves complex system design, secure AI integration, and the development of enterprise-grade security automation platforms.

What You Will Do

1. Design and Develop Agentic AI Systems for Cybersecurity

• Architect and implement AI-powered systems that perform autonomous or semi-autonomous cybersecurity tasks, including vulnerability analysis, threat detection, alert triage, log analysis, and secure code review.

• Design multi-agent architectures capable of orchestrating specialized AI agents (e.g., vulnerability scanning agents, log analysis agents, exploit pattern detection agents).

• Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines to enable AI systems to securely query internal knowledge bases, threat intelligence feeds, CVE databases, and security documentation.
