Security Engineer (Automation & AI)
Job description
About the role
About the role Atlan is seeking a Security Engineer who treats recurring vulnerabilities as system design problems to be solved through automation rather than ticket queues. You will own the full lifecycle of Application Security and Cloud Security automation for a platform serving over 450 enterprise customers in regulated sectors, using Large Language Models as your primary force multiplier. The position demands hands-on production experience building AI agents for vulnerability triage, automated pull request reviews, and incident forensics. The listing location is India.
Key facts
What you'll do
- Ability to thrive in a fully remote, asynchronous, high-trust culture across 15+ countries, demonstrating self-direction, clear written communication, and ownership of outcomes without micromanagement.
- Prior experience securing AI/ML model serving infrastructure, vector databases, or data pipeline orchestration platforms similar to the modern data stack Atlan operates within.
- Contributions to open-source security tooling, particularly projects related to cloud security posture management, application security testing, or LLM-based automation frameworks.
- Relevant security certifications such as AWS Certified Security - Specialty, (ISC)² CISSP, or Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP), though practical ability is weighted far higher than credentials.
- Background in building developer-facing platforms or internal tooling teams where "platform as a product" mindset was applied to security capabilities.
- Experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA) in a high-velocity engineering environment where evidence collection was automated.
- Familiarity with the Rust programming language for building high-performance security agents or CLI tooling.

- Compensation structure includes a strong base salary, performance-based variable component, and equity grants for most roles, benchmarked at the top of the market; specific figures are not disclosed in the public listing.
- The interview process typically involves a recruiter screen, a technical deep-dive (likely including a coding or architecture exercise relevant to security automation), a system design or AI/ML integration discussion, and conversations with future peers and leadership.

About Atlan
The missing context layer for enterprise AI. Atlan gives every AI agent the data graph, business logic, and governance to act on trusted data.
Software engineering work usually means turning product intent into systems that run in production. Engineers write and review code, break large changes into reviewable pieces, and watch how those changes behave after they ship. Most teams share on-call or incident habits so outages get a clear owner. Collaboration with product and design is part of the job, not an extra. The duties above are the ones this listing actually states for this opening.
