SecurityScorecard - Distinguished Software Engineer, AI
Requirements
• 10+ years building and shipping production software, with a track record at strong engineering companies (big tech, high-growth startups, or both) • Evidence that you drove things. We want the people who set the direction on their teams, not the ones who rode along. • Deep computer science and system design fundamentals. You can design a distributed system on a whiteboard and explain how it fails. • Heavy, hands-on use of AI coding tools on real codebases, with opinions about what works and what doesn't • Experience building with LLMs: agents, tool use, evals, prompt, and context design • Proficiency in TypeScript and strong backend engineering fundamentals • Comfort with ambiguity and a team that changes shape. You'll help define the job as we go. • Experience designing and operating distributed systems in cloud environments (AWS preferred) • Hands-on experience with CI/CD, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and production deployment practices • Clear, direct communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders • TypeScript / JavaScript, Go, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL • How we interview: • How we interview: • Expect a system design round, a coding exercise where you're expected to use AI tools, and a deep dive into a project you led, including how you used AI on it. We'll ask follow-up questions until we understand the decisions you made and why.
Responsibilities
• Run agentic coding workflows on production code and find out what actually holds up at our scale • Build the tooling, guardrails, evals and review practices that let agents ship code we trust • Design systems that stay sound when most of the code is written by agents, and decide where humans need to stay in the loop • Ship real changes to our products, using them as test cases for the new way of working • Pair with engineers across the org, review their work and help them adopt what we learn • Raise the hiring bar: interview candidates and help decide who joins the team • Write down what we learn so other teams can use it without us in the room • Design, build, and ship customer-facing AI-powered product features using TypeScript, Go, and AWS, owning quality and reliability end-to-end • Architect and implement agentic workflows, LLM pipelines, and intelligent automation that help customers surface faster, more actionable security insights • Integrate foundation models into existing product surfaces with a practical eye toward latency, cost, output quality, and evaluation • Use AI-native development tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) as a core part of your workflow, setting the standard for how this team builds • Lead architecture and code reviews with a focus on production-grade reliability, security, and maintainability • Own projects end-to-end from concept through production, including monitoring, iteration, and improvement post-launch • Stay current with the AI tooling and foundation model landscape and bring relevant advances into our roadmap and practices
Benefits
• Remote. We're hiring across United States, Canada, and Latin America. • Benefits:Specific to each country, we offer a competitive salary, stock options, Health benefits, and unlimited PTO, parental leave, tuition reimbursements, and much more! • Actual compensation for the position is based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to affordability, skills, qualifications and experience, and may vary from the range.
