About the role

Obiguard’s inspection pipeline sits in the critical path between customer applications and their LLMs — every prompt and response passes through it in single-digit milliseconds. As a Software Engineer, you’ll build and harden this pipeline: the detectors, the policy engine, and the audit ledger that enterprise security teams depend on in production.

What you'll do
  • Design, build, and ship detectors for the inspection pipeline — covering PII, prompt injection, toxicity, and framework-specific policy rules.
  • Improve p50/p99 latency on the synchronous, in-path inspection layer without compromising detection accuracy.
  • Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and on-call.
  • Work directly with customers during pilots to debug production incidents and edge cases in real deployments.
  • Collaborate with the AI Safety Research team to turn new attack research into shipped detectors.
  • Contribute to the audit ledger and framework-mapping systems that back our compliance guarantees.
What we're looking for
  • 3+ years building production backend systems, ideally in Go, Python, or Rust.
  • Comfortable working in the critical path of a low-latency system — you think in milliseconds, not seconds.
  • Experience with distributed systems, observability, and debugging production incidents under pressure.
  • Solid understanding of security fundamentals; prior application security or infra security experience is a strong plus.
  • Bias toward shipping — comfortable owning a feature from design doc to production rollout.
Nice to have
  • Experience building or operating LLM-adjacent infrastructure (RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, model gateways).
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF).
  • Open-source contributions to security or infra tooling.
