About the team

Airwallex's Information Security team partners closely with engineering, IT, and other stakeholders to protect our systems, data, and employees while enabling the business to move quickly. The team helps build and maintain strong security practices across the company-from secure product and infrastructure design to risk reduction, incident response, audits, and compliance-so security is built into how we operate, not treated as a blocker.

What you'll do

As a Staff Software Engineer working on internal AI tooling, you will be responsible for helping keep $200b+ in payments, 300,000 companies, and our thousands of employees safe.

You'll have the opportunity to partner with internal teams to help identify projects that can drive impact - like building internal automation tooling, owning our terabyte-scale log pipelines, and using AI to streamline how our team operates.

We're not tied to specific projects, languages, and technology - we rely on smart people diving deep to find the best solutions to hard problems. You'll also be mentoring junior team members and continuing to grow our world-class engineering team.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of AI tools and applications, from inception to implementation.
• Support incident response efforts by building ad-hoc tools for threat hunting, remediation and scanners.
• Build, monitor, and maintain underlying infrastructure, including Kubernetes clusters, serverless workloads, and ETL pipelines.
• Sit with engineers to identify opportunities for automation and tooling development
• Partner with product engineering teams to drive security outcomes - such as automation for patching, and development of gateways and other services to decrease risk.
• Mentor and help grow other Software Engineers in the team.
