Company

hirify.global’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

What you will do

• Design and build secure, high‑performance platform components that support Copilot’s agentic workflows across cloud and device environments.
• Develop novel security mechanisms for agentic AI systems, including real‑time intent validation, information‑flow controls, isolation boundaries, and abuse‑resistant orchestration.
• Eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities by creating secure‑by‑default APIs, sandboxing layers, and hardened system interfaces.
• Build and operate offensive security tooling and agents that continuously probe Copilot’s autonomy, reasoning paths, and trust boundaries.
• Partner closely with AI researchers, platform engineers, and product teams to translate research and prototypes into production‑ready security features.
• Use telemetry, signals, and data‑driven analysis to detect abuse, anomalous agent behavior, and emerging threat patterns.

Requirements

• Doctorate in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field AND 3+ years of experience OR Master’s Degree AND 4+ years of experience OR Bachelor’s Degree AND 6+ years of experience in security engineering, secure software development, large-scale computing, threat modeling, or applied security analytics, including experience designing or building systems to detect, prevent, or mitigate security threats, or equivalent experience.
• Solid coding skills in one or more of the following: C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
• Demonstrated experience designing, building, and operating production systems at scale.
• Experience building or securing large‑scale distributed systems on cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with emerging attack classes against AI systems, including prompt‑based exploits, agent misbehavior, information‑flow vulnerabilities, or model‑assisted exfiltration.
• Proven ability to design system interfaces and abstractions that reduce misuse and prevent vulnerabilities by construction.
• Experience with AI platforms, LLM frameworks, or ML pipelines—or the ability to ramp up quickly.
• Background in sandboxing, isolation, container security, or trusted execution environments.
• Solid analytical skills, including working with telemetry, anomaly detection, or ML‑based security signals.

Culture & Benefits

• Employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated hirify.global office in the U.S. are expected to work from the office at least four days per week.
• hirify.global is an equal opportunity employer.
