Role overview

SDE III - Engineering Productivity (AI) at Safe Security

As we scale toward our next chapter, we are looking for high-performers who want to do the best work of their careers at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity.

Employment details

• Location: Bengaluru

Benefits

• We provide top-tier medical insurance and wellness benefits to ensure you and your family are well cared for.
• Career Trajectory: We are growing aggressively.
• For high-performers, the path for advancement moves at the speed of your ambition.
• This role exists to change how engineering at Safe gets work done — not to add AI tools on top of today's workflow, but to rebuild the engineering operating model around AI, automation, and redesigned process, and to prove the gain in numbers.
• You will look across the full lifecycle — requirements, design, implementation, review, testing, deployment, operations, incidents, documentation — find where engineers lose time, and decide what actually fixes it: an AI agent, an automation, a platform capability, or a process change.
• Then build it to production quality, drive adoption, and measure whether cycle time moved.
• This is not a Developer Experience, DevOps, or internal-tools role.
• It is a software engineering role whose product is engineering throughput.

Additional role details

• The Culture Memo: Our Operating System Safe is not a typical corporate environment.
• We are a high-intensity, mission-driven team.
• We value builders who want to define a category and work alongside people who are equally committed to excellence.
• Extreme Ownership: We don’t do "not my job." We hire people who see a gap and own the solution from start to finish.
• The Elite Standard: We serve the most sophisticated companies on the planet.
• Our work must be bulletproof.
• Whether it’s a line of code or a sales deck, we aim for Tier-1 quality every time.
• Methodology & Rigor: We don’t wing it.
• From Force Management and MEDDICC in sales to data-driven sprints in engineering, we rely on proven frameworks to stay disciplined and predictable.
• Radical Candor: We move too fast for politics or sugar-coating.
• We value direct, honest feedback that helps us find the right answer quickly.
• The Series C Hustle: We have the stability of a well-funded leader but the heart of a startup.
• The Perks & Ownership: We want our team to feel like owners because they are owners.
• We trust our people to manage their results and their time.
• Meaningful Equity: Every "Safestar" is a shareholder.
• You aren’t just an employee; you are a partner in our success.
