AI Research Engineer, Security

What We're About

Apiiro is the Agentic AppSec Platform built to transform how development teams design, develop, and deliver secure software. Powered by Deep Code Analysis, we give security and engineering teams the risk context they need to ship fast without cutting corners. As pioneers in ASPM, we're not just keeping up with the AI era. We're defining what secure development looks like inside it.

About the Team

Our Research team operates like a startup inside Apiiro: strategic, high-ownership, and working directly with leadership. We drive the innovation behind Apiiro's AI-native ASPM platform, researching and prototyping the next generation of capabilities and guiding both product and go-to-market teams in bringing them to customers. We work at the edge of the security industry, envisioning and building first-of-their-kind, industry-leading solutions that transform AppSec.

What You're About

• 5+ years in security research, with expert-level understanding of code security: attack patterns, detection methods, and contextual remediation.
• Strong CS foundations and software engineering skills, with proven experience building prototypes and tools from design to implementation.
• Hands-on experience with LLM-based agents and context engineering, including evaluating and optimizing model outputs.
• Comfortable working independently across modern development environments.
• A problem-solver mindset: you learn fast, treat challenges as opportunities, and approach unfamiliar problems with curiosity.

What You Will Do

• Research and prototype novel approaches to application security that go beyond traditional AppSec tooling.
• Build proofs-of-concept for advanced prevention, detection, triage, and remediation capabilities.
• Design experiments and validate new security features through data-driven testing.
• Partner with product and engineering to bring successful POCs into the core platform.
• Evaluate and optimize LLM-based agents and model outputs for security use cases.
