Security Engineer at Eve:
Build the security foundation for an AI‑native product that handles highly sensitive legal and client data. You will work directly with product, engineering, infrastructure, and AI teams to make security a practical advantage across the company.

What You’ll Do
  • Build and scale the product and application security program across design reviews, threat modeling, code review, vulnerability management, and secure deployment.
  • Partner with engineering teams to secure AI‑native workflows, including data handling, prompt‑injection risk, model/tool access, and sensitive legal information flows.
  • Track emerging security trends, including AI‑based red‑team and blue‑team tactics, and translate them into pragmatic product and engineering roadmap recommendations.
  • Develop practical defenses for AI‑enabled abuse cases such as prompt injection, model/tool misuse, data exfiltration, unsafe agent behavior, and sensitive legal data exposure.
  • Develop internal security tooling and automation for dependency scanning, secrets detection, access review, abuse detection, and security workflow triage.
  • Review architecture and product changes for security risks, then help implement pragmatic fixes directly in the codebase when needed.
  • Strengthen cloud, infrastructure, and deployment security across identity, permissions, network boundaries, CI/CD, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Build security practices that help Eve move faster: clear standards, lightweight processes, reusable libraries, and guardrails that fit how engineers actually work.
  • Support compliance and customer trust efforts by translating Eve’s security posture into clear, accurate technical evidence.
  • Stay close to the product and customers so security decisions reflect real user workflows, business needs, and the sensitivity of legal work.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in application security, with significant time writing and reviewing code.
  • Proficiency in more than one major coding language; comfortable contributing directly to the codebase.
  • Practical experience securing cloud environments (AWS preferred) and a strong understanding of cloud security.
  • Deep understanding of identity and access management (SAML, OAuth, IAM) and how to protect sensitive data at rest and in transit.
  • Awareness of AI‑based red‑team and blue‑team tactics, with good judgment about applying them in real products.
  • Staying current with the security landscape and turning emerging threats, tools, and defensive patterns into practical quarterly roadmap recommendations.
  • Ability to balance security risks with business velocity; propose creative “middle ground” solutions that reduce risk without blocking progress.
  • A willingness to jump into adjacent areas such as data analysis, AI security research, or protecting against prompt injection to get the job done.
Nice to Have
  • Experience securing SaaS products that process sensitive customer data.
  • Experience in regulated or high‑trust environments such as legal, healthcare, fintech, or enterprise SaaS.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, GCP, or other production engineering stacks (Type Script, Python, Go).
  • Familiarity with SAML, OAuth, OIDC, RBAC/ABAC, audit logging, data encryption, and enterprise security controls.
  • Experience building security programs at a high‑growth startup.
Compensation
