About XBOW

Build the future of offensive security with XBOW. Attackers are already using AI to move faster than defenders can react—we’re creating the platform that puts security ahead in the arms race. Our AI-powered system autonomously discovers, validates, and even exploits vulnerabilities, giving organizations proof-backed results in hours instead of weeks.

Founded by Oege de Moor, creator of GitHub Copilot, and backed by Sequoia, Altimeter, and other leading investors, XBOW is applying cutting-edge AI to one of the world’s most urgent problems. In just over a year, our AI, built by a world-class AI team and legendary security researchers — has uncovered thousands of real-world zero-days across the software billions rely on, and became the first autonomous system to reach number 1 on HackerOne.

We’re a team of builders, hackers, and researchers who thrive on solving problems others think are impossible. If you want to push the boundaries of AI, reshape how security is done, and join the group defining this new era of defense — we’d love to talk.

Your Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with deep expertise in LLM prompting, orchestration, and software engineering. In this role, you’ll design and implement systems that coordinate large language models with real-world tasks, advancing the intelligence at the heart of our platform. You’ll collaborate with our AI, Engineering and Security teams to create novel prompting strategies, build orchestration layers, and deliver production-ready systems in TypeScript.

This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, research-driven environment and enjoys turning ambiguous ideas into robust, scalable solutions.

What You'll Do

Build LLM-powered software that actually works, by designing prompt flows and orchestrations that ensures great performance with no false positives.
Architect and build an AI-powered software stack that is production-grade, testable and maintainable.
Design and build experiments and evaluation frameworks for performance testing of the system at scale. Conduct data analysis to draw conclusions.
Collaborate with the rest of the AI team, with security experts, and both frontend and backend developers to create end-to-end systems that work and customers love.
Own projects end-to-end: from basic ideation and experimentation to deployment and production monitoring.
Continuously conduct research on how to harness the advancements in LLMs to make our system better and faster.

Who You Are

Strong experience with building software around LLMs: prompting, agentic orchestration, fault-tolerance, and integration of LLM parts with hard-coded logic.
Strong software engineering skills: architecting and building production-grade software that runs reliably and can be maintained.
Experience with TypeScript or proven ability to learn a new programming language quickly.
Strong skills in structured and independently-driven problem-solving. Able to work with incomplete information and rapidly testing hypotheses.
Comfortable with an energetic environment that mixes the fast-paced agile prioritisation of a startup with the curiosity mentality of a research lab.
Eager to own projects and jump into the deep end, learning as you go. Curious, adaptable and collaborative.
MSc or equivalent or higher in computer science, math, physics or machine learning.

Bonus If You Have

Prior experience with the security sector, especially involving offensive security and/or applying LLMs in a security context.
Contributions to open-source software, particularly within applications of or frameworks for LLMs.
Strong theoretical background, e.g. a Ph.D in machine learning, computer science or math.
Startup experience and comfort with ambiguity.
