Software Engineer, Security Engineering

Bot Auto

Responsibilities

This is a hands-on role with opportunities to learn across the full stack, from the vehicle to the cloud, while building strong foundations in security engineering.
Implement and maintain security controls for onboard (in-vehicle) systems, including secure boot, code signing, secrets and key management, secure over-the-air (OTA) updates, and system hardening.
Support security across infrastructure and platforms, including Kubernetes, public cloud (AWS), on-prem data centers, CI/CD pipelines, and internal developer platforms.
Help evaluate and implement protections for AI systems, including defenses against prompt injection, data exfiltration, model and supply-chain risks, and unsafe agent behavior.
Build and maintain identity and access management, secrets management, and least-privilege authorization for services, devices, and fleet systems.
Participate in threat modeling, security design reviews, and risk assessments, and partner with engineering teams to address identified issues.
Help operate vulnerability management, dependency and supply-chain scanning, and secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) tooling and processes.
Contribute to security detection, logging, monitoring, and incident response across onboard and infrastructure environments.
Improve security through automation, documentation, testing, and close collaboration with software, platform, and autonomy engineering teams.

Familiarity with containers, Kubernetes, AWS, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi), or CI/CD systems
Interest in or exposure to AI/LLM security topics such as prompt injection, model supply chain, agent sandboxing, or AI guardrails
Familiarity with IAM, secrets management, PKI, or zero-trust concepts
Experience with security tooling such as SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, SBOMs, SIEM, or vulnerability scanners through work, coursework, or personal projects

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
0-2 years of software engineering, security engineering, or related experience; relevant internships, research, projects, or open-source contributions are welcome
Programming experience in one or more languages such as Python, Go, Rust, C/C++, or JavaScript/TypeScript
Foundational understanding of authentication and authorization, networking, operating systems, and common software security vulnerabilities
Familiarity with Linux and cloud or distributed systems, with an interest in learning how to secure production environments

Internship, coursework, project, or hands-on experience in cybersecurity, embedded systems, automotive, IoT, or edge computing
Awareness of security standards and frameworks such as ISO/SAE 21434, NIST, OWASP, or SOC 2
Exposure to threat modeling, incident response, capture-the-flag exercises, security research, or responsible vulnerability disclosure
