Software Engineer, Agentic team at Lakera.ai · Zürich

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. In all cases, your work will play a vital role in ensuring that AI can unleash its best potential for good. About Us We are on a mission to ensure AI does what we want it to do. We are heading towards a future where AI agents run our businesses and personal lives. We're not just dreaming about the future; we're building the security foundation for it. We empower security teams and builders so that their businesses can adopt AI technologies and unleash the next phase of intelligent computing. We work with Fortune 500 companies, startups, and foundation model providers to protect them and their users from adversarial misalignment. We are also the company behind Gandalf https://gandalf.lakera.ai/, the world’s most popular AI security game. We move fast and work with intensity. We act as one team but expect everyone to take substantial ownership and accountability. We prioritize transparency at every level and are committed to always raising the bar in everything we do. We promote diversity of thought as we believe that creates the best outcomes.
