What You’ll Do

This is an entry-level graduate role on a security engineering team. As part of the team you will learn from experienced engineers and contribute to production-grade security tooling and investigations.

• Develop, test, and maintain automation and tools that help teams find security weaknesses, investigate findings, and prioritize risks.
• Conduct security research and analyze results to distinguish actionable findings from false positives and to communicate impact clearly.
• Use AI-assisted coding and research tools while validating their outputs; depending on the work, help build AI-assisted security capabilities or investigate AI-enabled system risks.
• Support ongoing security operations, keep documentation current, and identify opportunities to improve tools and workflows.
• Collaborate with security and software engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and regular feedback; raise blockers and ask for guidance when needed.
• Demonstrate and document solutions so others can use and maintain them.
