[Hiring] Security Architect @NetBox Labs

Role Description

NetBox Labs is hiring a hands-on Security Architect: a builder unleashed by AI, who designs and ships the systems that keep our products, our cloud, and our company secure as we grow.

AI agents do most of the coding. You bring the judgment: what good looks like at scale, which outcomes matter, and when an agent's output is plausible but wrong. You own what ships and run it in production.

Most of the role is Applied AI: building the platforms and paved paths that let teams across the company build their own automations, agent workflows, and software, secure by default, with identity, data access, and cost controls built in.

You'll also work as a forward-deployed engineer, embedded with teams to get their first workflows running and turn what works into patterns. Success looks like teams building and running their own workflows on secure, pre-approved paths without waiting on a security review, and patterns you built being reused well beyond the team that first asked for them.

The rest of the role is security engineering, with a focus on turning security from a review step into paved paths that engineering uses by default.

You'll report to the Director of Security & IT and work with Engineering, Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance.

Qualifications

• 12+ years across security architecture, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise IT.
• Experience making architecture decisions that held up as companies grew.
• Recent experience building and running something others depend on: a product, a platform, or an internal tool.
• Experience building with AI agents as the primary engineering tool.
• Experience shipping LLM or agent systems to production.
• Deep AWS experience: multi-account organizations, identity, network security, and infrastructure as code.
• Experience with Zero Trust and identity architecture for workforce and services.
• Product security depth: threat modeling, secure design review, supply-chain security, and SDLC automation.
• Experience delivering everything as code: infrastructure, policy, detections, and controls.
• Ability to work with sales or customer success leads to find and deliver solutions.

Requirements

• Make secure AI adoption the easy path.
• Build and run platforms for teams to create their own automations, agent workflows, and software securely.
• Lead enablement for teams to self-serve with templates, starter kits, and reference patterns.
• Set evaluation criteria and quality gates for agent workflows.
• Automate security into the SDLC and PDLC.
• Automate product and cloud security reviews.
• Automate vulnerability intake, prioritization, routing, and SLA escalation.
• Build access automation as code with just-in-time elevation for privileged access.
• Run services end to end: CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and incident response.

Benefits

• Small team environment where your work runs in production.
• Collaborative culture with shared on-call responsibilities.
