Staff Software Engineer - AI Discovery & Posture

Delinea•Redwood City, CA

1d•$150,000 - $180,000

About The Position

AI agents are appearing across the enterprise faster than anyone can keep track of them, and you cannot secure what you cannot see. In this role you will build the capabilities that find AI agents wherever they run, across cloud platforms and on endpoints, and assess their security posture so the rest of our AI security platform can govern them. This role will report directly into our Director of Engineering, Securing AI.

Requirements

Typically 8 or more years building production cloud or SaaS backend systems.
Hands-on experience with cloud provider APIs (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud) and asset discovery or inventory systems.
Experience extending or integrating with an existing platform, not only greenfield builds.
Strong skills in a modern backend language such as C#, Go, Java, or Python.
Ability to break down complex, ambiguous problems and select sound technical approaches with limited direction.

Nice To Haves

Experience with endpoint agent or device management technologies.
Background in security or posture management such as CSPM or CIEM.
Familiarity with AI agent frameworks and how agents authenticate and act.

Responsibilities

Build AI agent discovery on top of Delinea's existing cloud discovery rather than standing up a separate inventory, covering Microsoft Azure today and expanding to AWS and Google Cloud as the platform adds those clouds.
Build discovery for AI agents running on endpoints, a newer surface for the team.
Assess the security posture of discovered agents: how they are configured, what they can access, and where they create risk.
Feed discovered agents and their context into our identity and attribution layer so they can be governed.
Partner closely with the platform teams whose discovery services your work builds on.
