Resolve AI • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

At Resolve, we’re building Agentic AI that empowers software engineers by automating production engineering and SRE workflows. Our models deeply understand production systems — from code to databases — taking on repetitive, high-pressure tasks and handling critical incidents autonomously, so engineers can focus on building.
Our founders (Spiros Xanthos and Mayank Agarwal) are the core creators of OpenTelemetry and led Splunk Observability. They have had 2 successful exits to Splunk and VMware.
We raised a $35M Seed round from top-tier investors like Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Jeff Dean (Chief Scientist, Google DeepMind), Thomas Dohmke (CEO, GitHub), Matt Garman (CEO, AWS), Reid Hoffman (Founder, LinkedIn) and Fei Fei Li (Professor, Stanford).

Requirements

• Experience securing modern production systems, including web applications, cloud infrastructure, and internal services.
• A strong engineering background, with hands-on experience writing production code and building automation (Python required; other languages welcome).
• Comfort working across cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including IAM, networking, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Practical experience with threat modeling, vulnerability management, and incident response and good instincts for what actually matters in production.
• The ability to operate in ambiguity, make tradeoffs, and move quickly without losing rigor.
• Clear communication skills and the judgment to explain risk in a way that builds trust with engineers, leadership, and customers.
• Curiosity and a customer-oriented mindset: you want to understand how Resolve is used in the real world and secure it accordingly.

Nice To Haves

• Experience securing AI or ML-driven systems, including familiarity with risks unique to LLMs or agentic workflows.
• Background building or integrating security tooling, especially where automation or scale was a core challenge.
• Exposure to regulated environments or enterprise security reviews.
• Experience designing systems with privacy-first principles such as data minimization, isolation, and anonymization.

Responsibilities

• Own security across the Resolve AI platform, spanning application security, cloud infrastructure, internal services, integrations, and agent execution.
• Design security mechanisms that work with autonomous systems, enabling agents to take action safely, audibly, and within well-defined boundaries.
• Partner closely with engineers across platform, infra, and product to shape secure system designs early, not retroactively.
• Build security directly into how we ship software: automation in CI/CD, guardrails in infrastructure, and defaults that scale as the company grows.
• Evaluate and improve how we handle identity, permissions, and access across customers, tools, and environments.
• Stay ahead of emerging risks related to AI-driven systems and propose concrete, engineering-led mitigations.
• Help Resolve AI meet the expectations of enterprise customers by clearly articulating our security posture and participating in technical security conversations when needed.
• Set the foundation for how security is practiced at Resolve: pragmatic, high-signal, and aligned with how real systems operate.
