Company

hirify.global is creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI.

What you will do

• Design and ship systems that make hirify.global’s platform secure by default — spanning privacy, identity, authentication, authorization, and data security.
• Partner with product and platform teams to implement and evolve hirify.global’s trust primitives: identity management, access control, auditability, and data lifecycle management.
• Build controls that ensure AI agents can't leak customer data, execute unauthorized actions, or be manipulated into unintended behavior.
• Create developer-friendly tooling to reduce risk and friction by automating security checks in CI/CD, enforcing privacy boundaries through schema validation, or instrumenting runtime monitoring for sensitive events.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering skills with experience building and maintaining production systems in Python, Go, or TypeScript.
• Comfortable designing APIs, integrating with authentication or identity frameworks, and shipping high-quality code in a fast-paced environment.
• Security mindset, considering how data flows, where it’s stored, who can access it, and how to design for least privilege and transparency.
• Product and platform mindset, caring about building secure systems that enable innovation.
• Curiosity and ownership, tracing how a token propagates through the stack, or how an LLM might interact with internal APIs to understand and strengthen the system.

Nice to have

• Experience working on privacy, identity, trust & safety, auth/authz, or data protection systems.
• Experience building security frameworks, libraries, or tooling that developers actually use or integrated security automation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to AI systems or care about designing secure-by-default LLM applications.
• Ability to think like an attacker and naturally ask "what could go wrong?" when reviewing designs or while building systems.
• Experience thriving in 0→1 environments where foundational systems have to balance speed, reliability, and trust.
