Senior Security Automation Engineer, Web & Edge Security

6+ years in software engineering, security engineering, or security automation, with production code you've shipped, not just vendor tooling you've configured.

Strong proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or a comparable language, with experience building production-quality services and automation.

Proven experience designing, building, and operating production services, APIs, or automation systems at scale, including observability, reliability measurement, controlled rollout and rollback, and ownership of production failures.

Strong systems-design judgment, the ability to decide when to build abstractions, when to integrate existing platforms, and when automation would add complexity rather than remove it.

Solid fundamentals in web, application, and edge security – you understand how web applications face threats and protections, and can apply that knowledge to engineering choices.

Experience developing AI/LLM-assisted systems, or demonstrated ability to apply contemporary AI engineering approaches, structured outputs, evaluation, regression testing, and human-in-the-loop controls, to production workflows.

Ability to work independently on unstructured problems and make defensible, risk-based decisions.

Strong written and verbal communication; you can detail system logic and explain technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs to engineers and non-technical collaborators.

Deep production experience with LLM-integrated or agentic systems, including agent orchestration, prompt/context engineering, or autonomous multi-step workflows.

Hands-on experience with one or more major WAF/CDN technologies, such as AWS WAF, Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, or Mod Security/CRS, at a configuration or rule-authoring level.

Deep understanding of HTTP parsing, normalization, and protocol edge cases — including encoding discrepancies, request smuggling, and header ambiguity — and how they affect WAF efficacy and false-positive/false-negative behavior.

Experience with vulnerability intelligence data (EPSS, CISA KEV, CVSS) and how it should -and shouldn't - drive prioritization.

Experience building self-service security capabilities or platform tooling adopted by other teams.
