Python Software Engineer - AI Security Platform (m/f/n)

 Our work spans distributed backend services, machine learning pipelines, LLM-powered agents, and production security tooling.

As a Python Software Engineer on the AI Security Platform, you build the backend systems that power AI-driven threat detection, automated incident response, and LLM-based security tooling. You will join one of three teams based on your interests and our needs, each tackling a different part of the security stack. 

About the Role 

• Design, build, and maintain distributed backend services and processing pipelines in Python. 

• Develop asynchronous, event-driven systems and message-based integrations across services.

• Work with one of three focus areas, chosen based on your interests and team needs: 

Detection Systems: automated threat detection pipelines, detection engine integrations, and high-volume data processing. 

LiveAI: multi-agent AI systems, LLM-powered assistants, agent orchestration, and evaluation infrastructure. 

SOAR Platform: microservice ecosystem for incident handling, automation workflows, and AI-powered Security Operations Center capabilities. 

• Take ownership of services across their full lifecycle, from design and deployment to monitoring and troubleshooting.

• Write clean, maintainable, and production-ready code. 

• Collaborate with software engineers, security researchers, and security operators across the division. 

Essential Requirements 

• Strong software development experience with Python.

• Experience designing and developing backend services or distributed systems.

• Understanding of asynchronous programming and distributed task processing.

• Experience working with APIs and service integrations.
