ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Artera is seeking a hands-on Application Security Engineer to work alongside our AI builders and Systems Engineers to threat-model agentic and LLM-powered features, harden PHI/PII-handling workflows, and ship the "paved road" tooling (secure SDLC guardrails, prompt/agent-identity patterns, SAST/DAST/SCA in CI/CD) that keeps innovation fast and safe.
This is a frontier role. You'll be operating where AI security is still being defined — translating policy into code, building guardrails for agent identity and prompt/output filtering, and giving our team the logging, scanning, and safe tool-use patterns. Artera Security finds the secure path and ships it with our AI Builders and System Engineers.
This role is based in our Seattle, WA office. In-person collaboration is intentional – you'll be working shoulder-to-shoulder with our AI builders, Systems Engineers, and security leadership as we build Artera's Seattle tech hub.
This role supports federal-facing systems and contributes to enterprise security functions. Candidates must meet eligibility for a government background check and follow strict data protection, access control, and incident response protocols. Familiarity with regulatory frameworks is expected. Ongoing compliance training and evidence-based documentation may be required.
AI Threat Modeling: Threat-model agentic and LLM-powered features end-to-end: data ingress/egress, agent identity, tool-use boundaries, and the unique risks that come with frontier AI work
Paved Road Tooling: Build the secure SDLC paved road — secure SDLC guardrails, prompt/agent identity patterns, secrets management, PHI/PII redaction patterns
Security Gates: Embed SAST, DAST, SCA, and infrastructure scanning into CI/CD so security gates are part of the pipeline, not an afterthought
AI Monitoring Strategy: Identify and pilot an AI monitoring tool to fill the gap our current tooling (Zscaler) doesn't cover
Policy -> Practice: Translate existing security policy into safe tool-use patterns for the Artera Primitives team, Systems Engineers, and other AI Builder squads
Cross Functional Partnership: Partner cross-functionally with DevOps, Systems Engineering, and the AI builder teams — meeting AI Builders and engineers in the middle and finding the secure path forward, not the "no" path
Security Ownership: Own AWS identity and access management patterns, secrets management, and security tooling decisions in our AWS environment. Collaborate with System Engineers / DevOps on implementation.
Security Framework Application: Apply frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE ATLAS, OWASP Top 10, and OWASP LLM Top 10 to architectural decisions.
AppSec Tenure: 6–10 years in Application Security, with a hands-on engineering orientation
LLM & Agent Security: Demonstrable experience with LLM and agent security — OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, prompt/output filtering, agent identity, and tool-use risk
Threat Modeling Expertise: You’ve built end-to-end threat models for production platforms and translated them into corrective controls
Pipeline Scanning Tools: SAST, DAST, and infrastructure scanning tools in production CI/CD environments
Shift-Left Security Experience: Taking policy, codifying it as infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and gating CI/CD pipelines on security findings
Cloud Depth: Significant AWS experience (GCP or Azure background acceptable; AWS is learnable, but cloud depth is required)
Regulated Environment Experience: Background in regulated environments — healthcare (HIPAA/HITRUST), federal (FedRAMP), or fintech (PCI)
Collaborative Communicator: Strong cross-functional communicator;able to partner with engineers and AI builders, find the secure path together.
Agentic AI Modeling: Direct experience threat modeling agentic AI systems (rare — but if you have it, you're the cherry on top)
Agentic Platform Exposure: AWS Agent Core, MCP, or similar agent-platform exposure
Growth Stage AI Experience: Experience at a growth-stage company (~50–500 people) that has already adopted agentic AI
Fintech to Agentic Path: Background in fintech transitioning into agentic systems (a common path into this kind of work today)
AI Monitoring Tool Ownership: Past ownership of an AI monitoring tool rollout or evaluation
