7AI is a foundational AI security company founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders, backed by $166M in funding from Index Ventures and Blackstone. The company pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents for detection, investigation, response, and threat hunting, operating with humans in the loop.
You'll join the Platform team to build security into products, platforms, and engineering workflows from day one. Rather than acting as a gatekeeper, you'll partner directly with engineers, product, and platform teams to create secure-by-default systems that enable the organization to move fast with confidence. This is a hands-on role where you'll work in code, build platform capabilities, and solve security problems through engineering rather than process.
Key responsibilities include:
- Define and evolve secure architecture patterns for products, services, internal tools, and platform capabilities
- Partner with engineering teams throughout the SDLC to design, implement, and ship secure systems
- Build security guardrails, automation, and platform capabilities enabling developers to move quickly within secure boundaries
- Operate and continuously improve SAST, SCA, CSPM, and other product security tooling
- Design and implement approaches for safely using AI-generated code, agentic workflows, and AI-powered developer tooling
- Work with Platform and DevOps engineers to integrate security controls into developer workflows, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and deployment systems
- Identify security risks through architecture reviews, threat modeling, code review, and hands-on investigation
- Contribute code, prototypes, tooling, and platform services that improve security across the engineering organization
- Help define security standards and development workflows that scale with company growth
- Act as a trusted technical partner to engineering teams, balancing security, usability, and delivery speed
- Join customer and partner security discussions when deep technical expertise is needed
Requirements:
- 6+ years of software engineering, security engineering, or product security experience in modern cloud-native environments
- Strong understanding of secure application and system design, including authentication, authorization, secrets management, software supply chain security, and common application vulnerabilities
- Comfortable reading, reviewing, and contributing production code in at least two of: Python, TypeScript, or Rust
- Experience implementing and tuning SAST, SCA, dependency management, and CSPM tooling
- Experience designing security controls and secure development workflows that integrate directly into engineering processes
- Hands-on experience building developer tooling, platform services, automation, or infrastructure that improves security outcomes
- Strong threat modeling and architectural reasoning skills, with ability to translate security concerns into practical engineering solutions
- Ability to work collaboratively with product, platform, and engineering teams and influence decisions through technical credibility
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to balance security rigor with engineering velocity in a fast-moving product environment
Nice to have:
- Experience securing AI platforms, LLM-powered applications, agentic systems, or AI-assisted software development workflows
- Experience building internal developer platforms, engineering enablement systems, or platform engineering capabilities
- Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Experience contributing to security tooling, open-source projects, developer infrastructure, or platform services
- Experience in high-growth startups where pragmatism, ownership, and execution matter more than organizational boundaries
