Job description
Swimlane is redefining security operations with Agentic AI automation that empowers organizations to work smarter, respond faster, and stay ahead of threats. Our low-code platform combines automation, orchestration, and intelligent reasoning to unlock true operational autonomy across the modern SOC.
At Swimlane, we put people first. We foster a culture of innovation, trust, and continuous improvement—where your ideas matter and your work drives meaningful change. Join us and help build the next era of Agentic AI-powered security operations.
Agentic AI & AI SOC
About the role
Our current team is firing on all cylinders to deliver core features, but as our product scope rapidly expands, we need a technical driver to help us scale. We are looking for a Principal AI Systems Engineer to act as a pathfinder and shape the next generation of AI SOC capabilities in the Swimlane Turbine platform.
This position sits within Data Science but is fundamentally a software engineering and integration role—not a model-training role. You will take the wheel on applied LLM projects, driving the transition from single-prompt features to robust multi-agent systems and intelligent customer-facing security chatbots.
What you'll do
Drive Architectural Change: Lead the technical strategy and hands‑on execution for building production-grade multi-agent systems and security chatbots.
Scale Our Capabilities: Act as an accelerator for the team, taking ownership of new AI feature development so we can keep pace with rapidly growing product demands.
Build Applied LLM Workflows: Design secure, maintainable workflows using for AI SOC use cases like alert triage, summarization, and workflow automation.
Own Evaluation (Evals): Create test sets, define success metrics (accuracy, faithfulness, latency), and run regression tests before and after changes for your features.
Monitor Production Behavior: Debug hallucinations and systematically reduce failure modes through better retrieval, prompting, and guardrails (not just "tweak the temperature").
Establish Engineering Standards: Define robust patterns for context engineering, tool design, retrieval, and harness engineering to ensure our agents are rigorously evaluated for quality and safety.
Champion Security-First AI: Ensure data privacy, access controls, and prompt injection defenses are embedded deeply into our multi-agent architectures.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work seamlessly across Data Science, Engineering, Product, and Platform teams to guide emerging AI capabilities from prototype to production.
What We’re Looking For
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in designing and operating reliable, production-grade systems.
Programming Languages: Expertise in .NET, TypeScript or Python is expected.
1–2 years of hands‑on applied AI experience specifically focused on building multi-agent systems, chatbots, tool-using agents, or AI-powered automation.
Cloud‑Native AI Expertise: Practical experience using cloud AI services (AWS Bedrock strongly preferred) and LLM provider SDKs (such as Claude AgentSDK).
Core AI Technical Depth: Proven understanding of enterprise RAG systems, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool integrations, context engineering, and harness engineering for evaluations.
Project Leadership: A track record of driving complex technical projects and influencing architectural decisions in a fast-paced, low-bureaucracy environment.
Security Mindset: Strong grasp of AI security frameworks, data privacy
Nice to Have
Experience building security automation, SOAR, SOC, threat intelligence, detection engineering, or incident response products.
Familiarity with AI security frameworks, prompt injection defenses, agent sandboxing, policy-based tool control, or AI governance practices.
Experience building evaluation harnesses for AI quality, latency, cost, safety, and reliability.
Experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools in real engineering workflows.
