Software Engineer, Agentic team

Description

The Agentic Security team builds the security layer for AI agents in production. We discover agents across platforms and developer toolchains, model their tools/data/permissions and exposure, and turn that posture into explainable risk signals and guardrails, enabling organizations to adopt agents safely without slowing down innovation.

As a Software Engineer at Lakera, a Check Point company, you have the chance to contribute to and lead efforts across our whole stack, whether that's squeezing a few more milliseconds out of our inference pipeline, scaling our automatic auto red teaming algorithms to uncover flaws in GPT-4 or redesigning our data infrastructure. In all cases, your work will play a vital role in ensuring that AI can unleash its best potential for good.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement core product features in close collaboration with the founding team.
• Find pragmatic solutions to complex algorithmic problems.
• Strike a balance between scalable code design and development speed. Shipping fast is key.
• Contribute to shipping new features and improvements to our products.
• Scale our existing software stack and algorithms to serve the most demanding use-cases.
• Support the team in establishing a stable, high quality and flexible software engineering process.

About you:

• Experience developing production-level code across a variety of technologies.
• Pragmatism, enjoy taking ownership, being hands-on, and getting things done while being mindful of our longer-term vision.
• Enjoy working on a wide range of algorithmic problems and designing efficient software systems.
• Sense for product/customer needs.
• Familiar with production level Python, C++, Golang or another interesting set of programming languages;
• Frequent contributor to open-source projects and an active participant in open-source communities.
• Productive by yourself as you solve abstract problems independently and produce results without constant supervision.
• Excited about a front-row seat in a fast growing, early-stage company (a rapidly changing, often ambiguous and undefined environment)
• Interest in AI security.
