Role
Who you are
- Experience: 7-10+ years of experience in Product/Application Security, with a strong background in software engineering
- Demonstrated AI Expertise: Proven experience at the intersection of AI and security, including securing AI workloads and leveraging AI agents to enhance defensive capabilities
- Modern AppSec: Experience implementing tools and driving for secure outcomes throughout the Secure Software Development Lifecycle including Threat Modeling, Code Scanning, and Penetration testing
- Automation Mindset: Proven ability to prompt, script, and automate security tasks. You prefer building a tool to solve a problem over fixing it manually
What the job involves
- At ServiceTitan, we are transforming product security into a core part of how engineering delivers software
- We are looking for an AI-Focused Staff Application Security Engineer to help define and deliver a secure paved road, creating automated, developer friendly security patterns that enable our 80 plus R&D teams to build securely by default without slowing down innovation
- In this role, you will partner closely with engineering to embed practical guardrails, manage emerging risks like non-human identities and data exposure, and enable teams to move quickly without compromising trust
- This is an opportunity to shape the future of application security in an AI first environment, turning security into a core enabler of innovation rather than a constraint
- Secure-by-Design Engineering:
- Pipeline Automation: Embed security directly into the development pipeline through intelligent prompting and AI driven agents
- Secure-by-Default Code: Collaborate with Engineering to develop and maintain secure microservice templates and libraries that have security controls built in from the start
- Supply Chain Protections: Implement controls to secure dependencies, build artifacts, and third party integrations. Partner with engineering to enforce integrity, provenance, and policy checks within build and release workflows
- AI-Driven Security Testing & Validation:
- Automated Scanning: Evaluate, configure, and implement AI agentic tooling to autonomously test our web applications for vulnerabilities
- Simulation & Validation: Use agentic tooling to run proactive simulations based on emerging threats to validate our defenses in real time
- Outcome Accountability: Drive adherence to vulnerability remediation SLAs by partnering with engineering teams to track, prioritize, and resolve security issues. Ensure clear ownership, measurable progress, and consistent follow through to reduce risk and maintain accountability
- AI & Identity Security:
- AI Guardrails: Design and implement technical guardrails for AI Coding Agents and Model Context Protocols (MCP) to ensure safe adoption of AI in the development lifecycle
- AI-Driven Tooling: Help operationalize AI based tooling to act as a "GPS" for developers, tuning the system to provide accurate, on demand threat modeling, design, and development advice
- Non-Human Identity Management: Partner with engineering to define and implement strategies for managing machine identities across AI systems, including service accounts, API keys, and agent authentication. Enforce least privilege access, credential lifecycle management, and integration with secrets management and CI CD pipelines to reduce risk and prevent misuse
- Developer Enablement & Security Operations:
- Technical "Pit Crew": Act as the AppSec technical expert for the Security Champions Program. While leadership manages the program logistics, you will be the expert answering complex coding questions and guiding Champions on how to fix vulnerabilities
- Contextual Training: Assist in setting up "Just in Time" training campaigns that trigger micro-trainings when engineers introduce vulnerabilities, allowing them to fix their own code
- Triage to Automate: Own the initial triage of incoming vulnerability tickets (SAST/SCA). You will use this hands on work to identify the "noise" and pattern match recurring issues, directly informing which guardrails you build next
- Why this role?
- Own Outcomes, Not Activity: Your success will be measured by real risk reduction. You will directly influence vulnerability backlog reduction, remediation velocity, and the overall security posture of the organization
- Operate at the Intersection of Engineering and Security: You will work side by side with engineering teams to shape how software is built, secured, and deployed. This role gives you the platform to influence architecture, development practices, and platform level controls
- Lead the Next Evolution of AppSec: You will help define how modern security teams leverage automation and intelligent systems to scale. From secure by design patterns to autonomous testing and remediation, you will be pushing the boundaries of how security is done
- High Ownership, High Leverage: You will have the autonomy to identify problems, design solutions, and implement them end to end. The work you do will scale across teams and services, amplifying your impact well beyond a single application or domain
Our take
In the US, there's been a booming demand for home-service businesses, yet historically many of these trades were running with outdated software systems. That's where ServiceTitan comes in. Founded by friends who grew up around the trades, the company saw a clear gap and set out to give contractors the modern platform they desperately needed.
ServiceTitan's platform is designed specifically for the trades and brings together everything a contractor might need, in one handy system. By focusing on what trade-business owners actually need, it helps turn chaos into structure, giving visibility into operations, so owners can ultimately run their business better.
Now, ServiceTitan serves more than 11,800 trade customers and reported more than $10,000 in annualized billings and processes a huge volume of jobs on its platform. With a market that's still under-served by technology and a platform built to scale, the company is ready to grow even further.
