Responsibilities
Design and build intelligent autonomous security testing agents using large language models and cutting-edge AI/ML techniques
Create systems that can autonomously perform reconnaissance, identify vulnerabilities, and execute sophisticated attack chains
Push the boundaries of what's possible when artificial intelligence meets offensive security
Build robust planning, tool-use, and failure-handling mechanisms for agents operating in real-world, unpredictable applications
Develop services that think and act like elite attackers, but operate 24/7 across thousands of targets
Transform manual testing processes into intelligent, scalable automation pipelines
Build systems that continuously evolve and improve their attack strategies
Implement long-running agent memory and context management so agents retain state, avoid redundant actions, and accumulate application knowledge
Connect your AI agents into Bishop Fox's Cosmos cloud platform
Scale your creations to serve Fortune 100 clients with enterprise-level reliability
Design architectures that can handle massive concurrent testing operations
Develop browser and application interaction infrastructure that enables agents to navigate, interact with, and test modern web applications
Prototype breakthrough approaches to AI-driven security testing
Build sophisticated feedback loops that make your agents smarter over time
Implement safety mechanisms and ethical guardrails for responsible AI deployment
Measure, iterate, and continuously enhance agent performance
Design evaluation and monitoring systems that distinguish real vulnerabilities from false positives or hallucinated findings
Work directly with world-class penetration testers and security researchers
Partner with data scientists and AI specialists to solve novel technical challenges
Contribute to a team culture where hacking expertise meets cutting-edge artificial intelligence
Apply real-world production feedback from customer environments to refine agent behavior and system reliability
