Staff Software Engineer (Armis/Veza)

Job description

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the AppSec engineering team in Armis R&D. The team builds Armis Centrix for Application Security, an AI-native AppSec product built from the ground up over the past year and now growing into a core product line.

You get the best of both worlds

a small, autonomous team that owns its product end to end, backed by the data, expertise, and stability of Armis and ServiceNow engineering. If you love taking a product from its first customers to enterprise scale, own outcomes end to end, and raise the bar for the people around you, this is for you.

What You'll Do

Own Your Area: Take complex, open-ended problems from design through production, hands-on in architecture, design, and the critical paths of the codebase, with the accountability that comes with it.

Build Agentic AppSec

Design and build LLM-based agents and pipelines that analyze real-world codebases at scale: orchestration, tool use, context engineering, and the deterministic components that do what models shouldn't.

Make AI Trustworthy

Practice evaluation-driven development: the evaluation harness, golden datasets, regression gates in CI, and cost and latency tracking, so every pipeline change is measured before it ships.

Own the Backend & AI Architecture

Design robust, multi-tenant microservice cloud environments with security by design as the default.

Deliver on Commitments

Design, estimate, and deliver your work as clear, estimated tasks you own end to end.

Raise the Bar

Review designs and code, mentor engineers around you, and help set the team's engineering standards.

Engage Beyond the Code

Work directly with product, customers, support, and R&D architecture to gather real-world insight, unblock fast, and align technical direction with the business.

Collaborate Globally

Work closely with engineers and stakeholders across Israel, North America, and India.

Qualifications

5+ years of deep backend/systems experience, strong Python, and real production experience in a multi-tenant microservice cloud environment.

Strong advantage

hands-on experience building LLM-based agents or agentic pipelines in production, and evaluating them: golden datasets, benchmark, regression gates, cost and latency at scale. A track record of owning outcomes end to end, including a commitment that went wrong and what you did about it.

A security engineering mindset

tenant isolation, access control, and secure design are non-negotiable to you.

An All-Around Player

independent, execution-focused, and happy to build whatever it takes. Excellent English for working effectively across time zones.
