Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Office Security

📋 Job Overview

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.

🏢 About Material Security

Material Security is a remote-first workplace with an office in San Francisco, California.

🎯 The Role

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.

✅ Key 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.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 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.

🎁 Benefits

Compensation at Material Security is determined by a range of factors, including but not limited to the individual’s particular combination of knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience. The projected compensation range for this position is $190,000 - $235,000.
