Senior Software Engineer, Security Agents

Cohere is on a mission to scale intelligence to serve humanity by training and deploying frontier models for AI systems. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build intelligent systems that empower security teams by developing autonomous security agents and infrastructure to handle complex security tasks.

Responsibilities:

• Build autonomous security agents that perform alert triage, secure code reviews, threat modeling, and vulnerability assessment
• Develop agent orchestration systems that help security practitioners automate repetitive security tasks
• Design and implement agent security controls to ensure our AI agents can safely interact with sensitive enterprise data
• Create the security infrastructure that allows agents to operate in high-trust environments with stringent deployment requirements
• Ship production-ready agent capabilities that run efficiently in resource-constrained environments
• Research and implement novel security patterns for AI agent systems, sometimes requiring custom solutions where standard libraries fall short
• Conduct security testing of both the agents you build and the platform that runs them

Requirements:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing security features
• Strong Python development skills with significant production experience
• Experience building or working with autonomous systems, AI agents, or intelligent automation
• Solid understanding of security principles including session management, authentication, authorization, and secure coding practices
• Ability to think about security at multiple layers: application security, agent behavior security, and infrastructure security
• Comfortable working across the full stack and diving into unfamiliar codebases to understand and fix issues
• Thrive in fast-paced environments where you can adapt to evolving priorities
• Excited about the intersection of AI/ML and security engineering
