Staff Software Engineer - AI Discovery & Posture

Overview

Build the discovery and security posture capabilities that find AI agents across cloud platforms and endpoints, so Delinea's AI security platform can govern them. This role reports directly to the Director of Engineering, Securing AI.

What you'll do

• Build AI agent discovery on top of Delinea's existing cloud discovery rather than a separate inventory, covering Microsoft Azure today and expanding to AWS and Google Cloud as the platform adds those clouds.
• Build discovery for AI agents running on endpoints.
• Assess the security posture of discovered agents: how they are configured, what they can access, and where they create risk.
• Feed discovered agents and their context into the identity and attribution layer so they can be governed.
• Partner closely with the platform teams whose discovery services this work builds on.

What you'll need

• Typically 8 or more years building production cloud or SaaS backend systems.
• Hands-on experience with cloud provider APIs (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud) and asset discovery or inventory systems.
• Experience extending or integrating with an existing platform, not only greenfield builds.
• Strong skills in a modern backend language such as C#, Go, Java, or Python.
• Ability to break down complex, ambiguous problems and select sound technical approaches with limited direction.

Nice to have

• Experience with endpoint agent or device management technologies.
• Background in security or posture management such as CSPM or CIEM.
• Familiarity with AI agent frameworks and how agents authenticate and act.
