We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

You’ll build the tools and features that safeguard our platform and editor and protect our customers. You may be a fit if You are a strong software engineer first, with security as your superpower.

You have strong opinions on secure defaults, but can balance pragmatism with rigor. You enjoy working on small, high-talent teams where impact is magnified. You’re motivated by protecting developers and users, and you see security as an enabler. Sample projects include Build AI augmented code review to get involved in important systems at the right time Build a least-privilege and JIT system for cloud access that enables engineers and enforces least privileges. Implement a safe environment for agents to engage with code Implement a framework for securely handling agent manipulation of user systems (e.g., MCP tool calls and command execution).
