Distinguished Engineer, R&D Lead

Job Description

This is a role for an engineer who wants to tackle the hardest unsolved problems in software development - where AI systems write code, deploy software, and make decisions at machine speed.

This is not a delivery role.

There is no neatly groomed backlog waiting for you.

Why this matters

Software development is shifting fast:

Developers writing code → AI-assisted coding and agentic systems making changes at machine speed.

And almost nobody has properly solved the questions that come next.

How do you ensure AI-generated code is secure?
How do you govern what AI agents can and can’t do?
And when something goes wrong, how do you trace what actually happened - and why?

You’ll explore these problems before they become products, build prototypes that test assumptions, and generate the technical intelligence that shapes the next generation of secure software develo...
