Overview
How you can make a difference
As a Principal Security Engineer, AI Offensive Security, you build and operate agentic systems that discover, validate, and help remediate vulnerabilities across HealthEquity. You combine strong software engineering skills with offensive security expertise to automate security testing and vulnerability workflows across web applications and modern cloud environments.
You are an experienced builder who translates offensive security techniques into scalable automation. Working within established architectural patterns and security standards, you develop and enhance agentic capabilities that improve the speed, consistency, and coverage of vulnerability discovery and remediation.
The systems you build help move validated findings from identification through remediation while reducing manual effort and increasing the effectiveness of the security program.
What you'll be doing
Build and maintain offensive security agents that automate reconnaissance, enumeration, vulnerability validation, and other security testing activities across web and cloud environments.
Develop agentic workflows that support attack surface management and vulnerability management programs.
Implement automation that combines deterministic components (APIs, infrastructure-as-code, data pipelines) with non-deterministic, LLM-driven steps, choosing the right approach for each.
Build integrations between security tooling, ticketing platforms, asset inventories, CI/CD pipelines, and threat intelligence sources.
Apply established architectural patterns, governance requirements, and human-in-the-loop controls when developing AI-enabled security capabilities.
Validate findings generated by automated systems, reproduce vulnerabilities, and assist with risk assessment and prioritization.
Develop monitoring, testing, and evaluation capabilities that improve the reliability and effectiveness of agentic systems.
Support penetration testing and purple-team activities focused on validating vulnerabilities, controls, and remediation efforts.
Partner with Cyber Threat Intelligence, Security Engineering, and Vulnerability Management teams to improve detection and response capabilities.
Raise technical concerns, recommend improvements, and contribute to the evolution of team tools, practices, and automation capabilities.
What you will need to be successful
This role requires hands-on experience building and operating AI-enabled automation combined with practical offensive security expertise in modern web application and cloud environments.
