Autonomous Security Engineer, Customer Solutions

We are seeking an Autonomous Security Engineer, Customer Solutions to operate at the intersection of autonomous offensive security, technical consulting, and customer engineering. You'll be on the front lines of customer engagements, using Apex and the Pensar platform to run autonomous pentests, curate and present findings, deploy Pensar inside customer environments, and help security teams integrate autonomous offensive security into their programs.

This role is customer-facing by design. You'll own the technical relationship with customers from initial deployment through ongoing engagements, acting as the bridge between their security teams and Pensar's engineering and research organization. Everything you learn in the field will feed directly back into the product, helping us make Pensar more capable, reliable, and effective in real-world environments.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in a terminal investigating an attack path with Apex, on a Zoom with a CISO walking through findings, and working with our engineering team to figure out why an autonomous agent struggled with a particular environment.

Key ResponsibilitiesCustomer Engagements & Autonomous Security

Run end-to-end autonomous pentest engagements for customers using Apex and the Pensar platform

Configure engagements around customer applications, infrastructure, attack surfaces, and security objectives

Curate, triage, validate, and contextualize autonomous findings before presenting them to customers

Investigate exploitation paths and agent behavior to understand how and why findings were discovered

Deliver clear, prioritized findings and walk customers through vulnerabilities, exploitation paths, business impact, and remediation

Act as a trusted technical security partner throughout onboarding, engagements, and ongoing usage

Help customers understand how autonomous pentesting fits into their broader security program

Travel to customer sites as needed for kickoffs, technical workshops, readouts, and on-site engagements

Customer Deployments & Integrations

Deploy and configure the Pensar platform inside complex customer environments

Own technical onboarding, including integrations, authentication, networking, workflows, and environment configuration

Work directly with customer security, infrastructure, and engineering teams to troubleshoot deployment challenges

Design solutions for customer environments that don't fit neatly into predefined workflows

Build scripts, integrations, tooling, and automation where necessary to make deployments successful

Help establish repeatable deployment patterns and best practices as Pensar scales across enterprise environments

Offensive Security & AI

Apply hands-on offensive security expertise across web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, networks, and emerging AI/LLM attack surfaces

Understand and investigate the behavior of autonomous offensive security agents operating against real systems

Identify situations where agents fail, get stuck, produce false positives, or miss attack paths and work with engineering and research to improve them

Develop new workflows, tooling, prompts, techniques, and automation that improve autonomous pentesting outcomes

Track emerging attacker tradecraft and vulnerability classes and help translate them into capabilities within Apex and Pensar

Contribute technical expertise to the continued development of autonomous offensive security systems

Product Feedback & Roadmap

Translate firsthand customer and engagement experience into concrete recommendations for the product roadmap

Partner closely with engineering and product on capabilities, UX, integrations, and automation that make autonomous pentesting more effective

Identify recurring customer problems that should become product capabilities rather than one-off solutions

Participate in architecture and design reviews with a focus on real-world security workflows and customer environments

Help shape Apex's direction as an open source project alongside the Pensar platform

Serve as a direct feedback loop between customers and the teams building Pensar
