Software Engineer, Agentic team

The Agentic Security team builds the security layer for AI agents in production. We discover agents across platforms and developer toolchains, model their tools/data/permissions and exposure, and turn that posture into explainable risk signals and guardrails, enabling organizations to adopt agents safely without slowing down innovation. As a Software Engineer at Lakera, a Check Point company, you have the chance to contribute to and lead efforts across our whole stack, whether that's squeezing a few more milliseconds out of our inference pipeline, scaling our automatic auto red teaming algorithms to uncover flaws in GPT-4 or redesigning our data infrastructure.
