Job description

Who You Are

You're a seasoned software engineer ready for your next challenge. In this role, you'll join Invicti's newly formed AI team as a Senior Software Engineer, Agentic AI, and play a pivotal role in building our next-generation Agentic AppSec solution. As AI reshapes how software is built and how attackers exploit it, you'll help give defenders an edge by applying attacker‑inspired techniques to solve modern security challenges.

You design, build, and deliver software solutions rapidly, working across the stack from agent architectures and memory systems to integrations with security tools and developer workflows. You collaborate closely with product and security teams to deliver capabilities that solve real customer problems. You thrive in a high‑ownership role on a small team, where your technical decisions directly shape the product, with an initial focus on agentic pentesting.

What You'll Be Doing

Multi‑Agent System Development: Design and implement autonomous agent systems in Python using frameworks like AWS Strands Agents, with emphasis on orchestration, reasoning, and decision‑making

MCP Integrations: Create Model Context Protocol integrations connecting Octo to security tools, developer environments, and AI coding assistants like Cursor and GitHub Copilot

LLM Prompt Engineering: Develop and refine prompt chains for real security use cases, including triage, prioritization, and remediation

RAG & Memory Systems: Build retrieval‑augmented generation pipelines and memory architectures that give agents a persistent, contextual understanding of customer environments

End‑to‑End Ownership: Own features from design through production — build, test, deploy, and measure outcomes

Cross‑Team Collaboration: Work closely with product, platform engineering, security research, and infrastructure teams to ensure we're building what customers need

Experimentation & Productization: Evaluate new AI/ML capabilities and determine how to bring them to production

Requirements

5+ years of production software development experience with a track record of shipping high quality solutions

Hands‑on experience building LLM‑powered applications, RAG systems, or agentic AI

Strong Python proficiency with solid software engineering fundamentals

Understanding of distributed systems, API design, and cloud‑native architectures

Experience with prompt engineering, embeddings, and vector databases

End‑to‑end software development skills, including frontend development, building pipelines, tests, monitoring, and scalability

Ability to balance engineering rigor with pragmatic delivery, embracing agentic coding tools like Claude Code to accelerate delivery

Clear communication skills — you surface problems early and propose solutions

What's Preferred

Experience with agent frameworks (AWS Strands, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI) in production environments

Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) and AI tool integration patterns

Background in application security, penetration testing, or security tooling

Experience with Go or C# for performance‑critical components

Ability to build single‑page applications using Vue.js

AWS experience with Bedrock and Kubernetes deployments

Familiarity with using GitLab for source control and CICD

Knowledge of evaluation methodologies for LLM systems (benchmarks, red‑testing, human feedback)

Experience building third‑party product integrations using REST APIs

Contributions to open‑source AI/ML projects

What You've Got

Strong problem‑solving mindset with intellectual curiosity about AI/ML

High degree of ownership, accountability, and initiative

Comfortable working in fast‑paced environments where prototypes are rapidly iterated or discarded

Excited about autonomous AI systems and seeing your work used by real customers

Adaptable and effective working across distributed teams

Detail‑oriented, with a focus on delivering systems that scale and last
