Who You Are  This isn't just another engineering role. 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 scale-not 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 Do  Pioneer AI-Driven Security Testing   Design and build intelligent autonomous security testing agents using large language models and cutting-edge AI/ML techniques   Create systems that can autonomously perform reconnaissance, identify vulnerabilities, and execute sophisticated attack chains  Push the boundaries of what's possible when artificial intelligence meets offensive security   Build robust planning, tool-use, and failure-handling mechanisms for agents operating in real-world, unpredictable applications  Revolutionize Pen testing at Scale   Develop services that think and act like elite attackers, but operate 24/7 across thousands of targets   Transform manual testing processes into intelligent, scalable automation pipelines   Build systems that continuously evolve and improve their attack strategies   Implement long-running agent memory and context management so agents retain state, avoid redundant actions, and accumulate application knowledge  Integrate with Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure   Connect your AI agents into Bishop Fox's Cosmos cloud platform   Scale your creations to serve Fortune 100 clients with enterprise-level reliability   Design architectures that can handle massive concurrent testing operations   Develop browser and application interaction infrastructure that enables agents to navigate, interact with, and test modern web applications  Experiment & Innovate Rapidly   Prototype breakthrough approaches to AI-driven security testing   Build sophisticated feedback loops that make your agents smarter over time   Implement safety mechanisms and ethical guardrails for responsible AI deployment   Measure, iterate, and continuously enhance agent performance   Design evaluation and monitoring systems that distinguish real vulnerabilities from false positives or hallucinated findings  Collaborate with Elite Security Minds   Work directly with world-class penetration testers and security researchers  Partner with data scientists and AI specialists to solve novel technical challenges   Contribute to a team culture where hacking expertise meets cutting-edge artificial intelligence   Apply real-world production feedback from customer environments to refine agent behavior and system reliability  Your Experience   4+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems   Deep AI/ML expertise - hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI), or autonomous AI systems   Advanced programming skills in Python and Golang with clean, scalable code practices   Full-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 behavior  Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)   Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for reliable deployments   Ability to architect systems that can scale from prototype to enterprise-grade solutions   Must be based in the San Francisco Bay Area; remote-first with occasional, ad hoc in-office meetings only when necessary.  The Right Mindset   Portfolio over pedigree - we care more about what you've built than where you learned it   Excitement about autonomous systems and AI agents that can operate independently   Comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a fast-moving environment   Strong judgment in choosing the right tools, models, and architectural approaches for real-world constraints  Bonus Multipliers   Experience in penetration testing, red teaming, ethical hacking, or security research   Understanding of common vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and security frameworks   Knowledge of security tools and methodologies (but we'll teach you what you don't know!)   Open-source contributions, especially in AI/automation or security domains   Hackathon victories or compelling side projects that demonstrate your creativity   Experience in startup environments or greenfield product development   Publications, talks, or thought leadership in AI or security communities   Familiarity with multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, or swarm intelligence   Experience with vector databases, RAG pipelines, or advanced prompt engineering   Understanding of AI safety, alignment, and responsible AI development practices      Our Values   We 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 Other  Do the Right Thing   Do What You'll Say You'll Do   Get Better Together   Give a Sh*t   We offer a variety of benefits and perks, such as:   Generous Time Off and Company-Wide Holidays   Health Insurance options including Medical, Dental, Vision   Retirement;
