Senior Software Engineer
As a Senior Software Engineer on our Cloud Office Security team at Material Security, you'll join an early, remote-first team of experienced engineers building the next generation of protection for customers' Google Workspace environments. You'll work end-to-end — frontend and backend — on the Google Drive and OAuth surfaces of our product, and you'll play a leading role in integrating agentic workflows that help security teams investigate and remediate risk faster than ever before.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who loves shipping polished product experiences, enjoys the messy realities of integrating with third-party APIs at scale, and is excited about putting LLM-based agents into real production workflows where correctness and trust matter.
Responsibilities
- Build full-stack features across the Google Drive and OAuth areas of our Cloud Office Security product, owning them from design through production.
- Design and ship agentic workflows that automate detection, investigation, and remediation of security risks in customer environments.
- Integrate deeply with Google Workspace APIs, building reliable pipelines that handle real-world data at scale.
- Partner closely with product and design to ship the highest-impact features for our customers.
- Collaborate with adjacent product and platform teams to expose Cloud Office Security capabilities throughout the product.
- Contribute to a great engineering culture through active participation, code review, and mentorship.
What We're Looking For
- Strong Backend & Systems Skills: Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to ship high-quality backend code. You're comfortable designing and operating systems that integrate with third-party APIs at scale — rate limits, retries, idempotency, and messy data are familiar territory.
- Full-Stack Comfort: You can work across the stack and are comfortable contributing to the frontend (TypeScript/React) when features require it. Deep frontend specialization isn't required, but you should be effective shipping end-to-end.
- Product Sense: You care about the user experience and can make reasonable UX trade-offs with design partners.
- Curiosity About Agentic Systems: Experience or strong interest in building LLM-powered agents in production, including prompt design, tool use, and evaluation.
- Technical Maturity & Ownership: You write high-quality code without much oversight, understand which risks to take and which to avoid, and stay engaged through production rollout and beyond.
- Attitude & Ambition: Smart, hard-working, humble, and not afraid to fail. Team-first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance.
