Security Researcher
Interested in this role?
At Seezo, we build at the intersection of AppSec and GenAI to make world-class security accessible to every engineering team. We're seeking a Lead Software Engineer to help us advance the capabilities of our GenAI-powered security platform.
Sandesh (ex-Head of Security @ Razorpay) and Rakshitha (ex-Head of Customer Success @ PingSafe) founded Seezo. With over 20 years of Cybersecurity experience, they have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by security teams and are committed to solving them. We are funded by Accel, one of India’s largest global VC firms.
Seezo's Culture
Writing is Thinking
Most teams rely on Slack. At Seezo, our operating system is Google Docs. Documenting helps us clarify our thoughts, communicate better, and build with intention.
Proactive involvement
If you'd like to try a quick experiment, discuss branding, or improve a workflow, go ahead. We value Proactivity in work and communication.
Love for Security
Security is not just a feature; it is the foundation of what we do. We prioritize Security in every engineering decision we make.
Engineering first
Many companies claim to be engineering-first, but for us, it is a daily reality. Our team regularly dives deep into topics such as testing practices and architecture. Quality matters at every step.
Open opinion exchange
We value different opinions. Ideas flow freely, backed by facts, experience, and sometimes emotion. Every discussion remains respectful and constructive, regardless of how spirited it becomes.
Geography
The US has the largest Cybersecurity market in the world and the largest concentration of world-class AppSec teams as well. That is why we HQ'ed Seezo in the US, and we will focus on the region heavily (including hiring leadership and technical talent). But we are in the business of selling bits, not atoms, which means we can broaden our horizon beyond the US and India (where most of our team is currently based). We want to serve industries and geographies that are traditionally underserved by our industry and help
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Security Researcher to join our growing team. This role sits at the forefront of security innovation, combining traditional security engineering with Generative AI applications. As an early team member, you will have a significant impact on our product direction and security architecture.
The Challenge
Seezo is leveraging Gen AI to make world-class AppSec accessible to every engineering team. Our first product (Seezo SDR) helps security teams perform security design reviews on every new feature their engineering team builds. To get a feel of the product, try us out at https://app.seezo.io.
Your mission at Seezo will include
Research and incorporate new security methodologies into our rule sets
Optimize our internal pipelines to make security automation buttery smooth
Work with state-of-the-art eval frameworks for LLM outputs in security applications
Create security-focused benchmarks using the latest LLMs
Lead prompt engineering initiatives that make our security analysis smarter every day
Partner with customers to understand their unique security needs and customize solutions that actually fit
Collaborate with our engineering team to bake security into our GenAI platform
Help keep Seezo secure (yes, we need our internal security champion too!)
