Security Engineer

We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer, and Windsurf, the AI-native IDE. Together, they represent our vision for collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower teams to strive for more ambitious goals.

Our team is small and talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro.

Building Devin is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us.

Security Engineers at Cognition own one of the most interesting security surfaces in the industry. Devin executes arbitrary code on behalf of users across millions of sandboxed sessions. Windsurf operates inside developer environments at scale. Both products handle highly sensitive customer code, credentials, and infrastructure access. You will help define what security looks like for AI-native developer tools and build the controls, systems, and culture that let Cognition ship fast without compromising on safety. This is a role for engineers who want to do hands-on, high-leverage security work at the edge of what is being figured out for the first time.
