About the Role
Join our Falcon Exposure Management team as we evolve our Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) capabilities. You'll architect and develop cloud-native solutions that help organizations discover, inventory, and assess their digital attack surface at scale by correlating asset data with comprehensive risk intelligence — including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threat indicators. A key part of the platform is building integration frameworks that connect with a wide range of third-party security vendors, cloud providers, and enterprise tools, producing a unified view of organizational risk from disparate data sources across the security ecosystem.

You'll also contribute to AI-native engineering practices on the team — applying LLMs and agentic workflows to improve engineering velocity, code quality, and the team's ability to deliver complex backend work reliably and at pace.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and implement scalable microservices for the CAASM platform that unify asset discovery with risk assessment

  • Build robust APIs and data pipelines to ingest, normalize, and correlate asset data with vulnerability feeds, threat intelligence, and security findings from multiple sources

  • Develop integration frameworks that ingest data from a wide range of third-party security vendors, cloud providers, and enterprise tools

  • Optimize system performance to handle enterprise-scale asset discovery, vulnerability correlation, and risk assessment at speed

  • Develop APIs that enable seamless integration with existing security orchestration and GRC workflows

  • Apply LLMs and agentic workflows to enhance engineering productivity and code quality, with a strong focus on safe, reliable, production-ready outcomes

  • Design appropriate guardrails, validation, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints for any agentic workflow you build or operate

  • Be part of a global team of highly skilled and passionate engineers, building and maintaining cloud services

  • Collaborate across teams to brainstorm, research, and build solutions driven by our product roadmap

  • Understand business and engineering requirements and proactively share ideas and solutions

  • Maintain a strong focus on quality through best practices, testing, logging, and metrics

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical decision-making across the team

  • Own your work end-to-end in a high-trust environment

What You'll Need:

  • A minimum of 5+ years of production-level experience building, delivering, and maintaining systems at scale

  • Strong proficiency in Go, Python, or Java with experience in distributed systems

  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code tools

  • Experience with event-driven architectures and message queuing systems

  • Familiarity with data correlation techniques and complex relationship modeling

  • Experience with data mapping and transformation languages (CEL, JSONPath, or similar expression languages)

  • Background in building high-throughput data processing systems and ETL pipelines (good to have)

  • Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes


Agentic & LLM experience:

  • Working knowledge of LLMs and agentic loops — practical experience designing or operating agents that invoke tools and act on real data

  • Understanding of ReAct and related agentic patterns (planning, reflection, tool use) and when each is the right choice

  • A clear grasp of the non-deterministic nature of LLM outputs and how to engineer around it: structured outputs, schema validation, retries, self-checks, and graceful fallbacks

  • Ability to design policies and guardrails around tool invocations — Experience designing safe and reliable agentic workflows.

  • Hands-on use of frontier-model SDKs (Anthropic, OpenAI, or similar) and AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Copilot, ChatGPT) in daily workflows, with a realistic view of their capabilities and limitations

Bonus Points:

  • Previous experience in cybersecurity, vulnerability management, or GRC domains

  • Experience with graph databases and complex data modeling for security use cases

  • Experience with evaluation and observability tooling for agentic systems.

  • Experience with RAG pipelines, vector stores, or retrieval-augmented agents

  • Track record of applying GenAI/LLM technologies to accelerate engineering workflows in measurable ways
