As part of our team, you'll collaborate with top-tier professionals in both AI and cybersecurity domains, helping to evolve our platform into the next generation of conversational, AI-powered security validation tools.

Roles And Responsibilities

• Design and develop agentic AI systems (LangGraph/LangChain in Python or Spring AI in Java) for multi-step security workflows.
• Build conversational AI interfaces that convert natural language into executable attack scenarios.
• Implement AI-powered web testing for vulnerability discovery.
• Develop RAG systems and multi-agent orchestration by utilizing vector stores and integrating with foundation models using AWS Bedrock.
• Ensure safe, reliable AI testing with guardrails, evaluation, and clean, documented code.
• Take end-to-end responsibility for AI system development, from research and prototyping through deployment and monitoring in production environments.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in generative AI, agentic systems, and cybersecurity AI applications, bringing fresh ideas and cutting-edge techniques to enhance our platform capabilities.

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, with emphasis on Python (preferred) and optionally Java
• Extensive experience with LangGraph and LangChain frameworks for building agentic AI systems and multi-agent orchestration.
• Experience with Large Language Models (LLMs), including prompt engineering, RAG implementations, and model evaluation techniques.
• Knowledge of multi-agent systems, including agent communication patterns, task decomposition, hierarchical planning, and collaborative problem-solving architectures.
• Experience designing RESTful APIs for service integration and microservices.
• Experience with relational and non-relational databases (preferably MongoDB and PostgreSQL) for managing AI-related data.
• Experience with vector databases and semantic search technologies for knowledge retrieval and context augmentation.
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and cloud-native deployment patterns for AI applications.
• B.Sc. in Computer Science, AI/ML, or related field 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with AWS Bedrock and AWS AI services, including model integration, customisation, and serverless deployment.
• Cybersecurity knowledge, including an understanding of penetration testing concepts, security vulnerabilities, and attack methodologies
