Who You Are and What You Will Do
This isn't just another engineering role. You'll be joining what's essentially a startup within Bishop Fox – all the innovation and rapid iteration of an early-stage venture, powered by the resources and reputation of an established security leader.
Your mission? Build autonomous AI agents that can think, adapt, and hack like the world's best penetration testers.
Pioneer AI-Driven Security Testing
Design and build intelligent agents using large language models and cutting-edge AI/ML techniques
Create systems that can autonomously perform reconnaissance, identify vulnerabilities, and execute sophisticated attack chains
Push the boundaries of what's possible when artificial intelligence meets offensive security
Revolutionize Pentesting at Scale
Develop services that think and act like elite attackers, but operate 24/7 across thousands of targets
Transform manual testing processes into intelligent, scalable automation pipelines
Build systems that continuously evolve and improve their attack strategies
Integrate with Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure
Connect your AI agents into Bishop Fox's Cosmos cloud platform
Scale your creations to serve Fortune 100 clients with enterprise-level reliability
Design architectures that can handle massive concurrent testing operations
Experiment & Innovate Rapidly
Prototype breakthrough approaches to AI-driven security testing
Build sophisticated feedback loops that make your agents smarter over time
Implement safety mechanisms and ethical guardrails for responsible AI deployment
Measure, iterate, and continuously enhance agent performance
Collaborate with Elite Security Minds
Work directly with world-class penetration testers and security researchers
Partner with data scientists and AI specialists to solve novel technical challenges
Contribute to a team culture where hacking expertise meets cutting-edge artificial intelligence
What You Bring to the Mission
Technical Foundation
5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems
Deep AI/ML expertise – hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI), or autonomous AI systems
Advanced programming skills in Python and Golang with clean, scalable code practices
Full-stack capabilities – comfortable building robust APIs, designing database schemas, and working with modern frontend frameworks (React/TypeScript experience valued)
Infrastructure & Scale
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for reliable deployments
Ability to architect systems that can scale from prototype to enterprise-grade solutions
The Right Mindset
Portfolio over pedigree – we care more about what you've built than where you learned it
Excitement about autonomous systems and AI agents that can operate independently
Comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a fast-moving environment
Bonus Multipliers
Security Background
Experience in penetration testing, red teaming, ethical hacking, or security research
Understanding of common vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and security frameworks
Knowledge of security tools and methodologies (but we'll teach you what you don't know!)
Innovation Track Record
Open-source contributions, especially in AI/automation or security domains
Hackathon victories or compelling side projects that demonstrate your creativity
Experience in startup environments or greenfield product development
Publications, talks, or thought leadership in AI or security communities
Advanced AI Knowledge
Familiarity with multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, or swarm intelligence
Experience with vector databases, RAG pipelines, or advanced prompt engineering
Understanding of AI safety, alignment, and responsible AI development practices
