Senior Security Automation Engineer with Python

Intuition Machines builds enterprise security products with an AI/ML focus. We apply our research to systems that serve hundreds of millions of people, with a team distributed around the world. You are probably familiar with our best-known product, the hCaptcha security suite. Our approach is simple: low overhead, small teams, and rapid iteration.

As a Security Automation Engineer, you will design, develop, and implement robust security software solutions for our SaaS security platform, focusing on bot detection and fraud mitigation. Your primary responsibilities will include crafting secure code, identifying and mitigating potential security risks, and integrating cutting-edge security tools and techniques into our products.

In addition, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the highest standards of security are maintained across all aspects of our software development lifecycle. By staying informed about the latest advancements in the cybersecurity landscape, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of our security posture, ultimately safeguarding the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of our customers' data and systems.

What you will do:

• Develop and maintain SOC security automation capabilities in partnership with our AI/ML research team and security specialists.
• Conduct in-depth research on software tools or services that aid threat actors in bypassing our bot detection solutions.
• Interact with external security researchers in our bug bounty program.
• Own components within the vulnerability management program for our software stack.
• Maintain an up-to-date knowledge base of threat intelligence, vulnerabilities, attack vectors, bot management, and adversarial research.
• Collaborate with our security analysts on demanding security investigations.
• Manage technical aspects of integration (configuration, debugging, documentation, testing, go-live) for our internal security tooling.
• Identify new standards and technologies that could impact the accuracy of our security products.

What we are looking for:

• 5+ years of full-time development experience, ideally across the stack (Web Frontend, JS, Web APIs, Python, etc.).
• Experience integrating security into build, deployment, and test automation; SDLC orchestration; environment management; monitoring; and production.
• Understanding of web security paradigms, including the OWASP project.
• Hands-on experience and proficiency in API test automation and standardization is a great plus.
• Experience in bug bounty programs and your own public CVEs/research related to web applications is a great plus.
• Exposure to modern web browser security design, web architecture, network protocols, and web automation frameworks.
• Experience with red-teaming, such as developing botnets and white-hat hacking, is a plus.
• A great collaborator and communicator who stays curious.
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English.

What we offer:

• Fully remote position with flexible working hours.
• An inspiring team of colleagues spread all over the world.
• Pleasant, modern development and deployment workflows: ship early, ship often.
• High impact: lots of users, happy customers, high growth, and cutting-edge R&D.
• Flat organization with direct interaction with customer teams.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all members of our team.
