About the role
TENEX is hiring a Principal AI Engineer to design, develop, and optimize scalable AI systems for AI-native cybersecurity. This role requires onsite work Monday through Thursday at multiple locations with Fridays work-from-home. You will mentor engineers and shape architecture while aligning with product and customer teams.
LOCATION:
US-based. The candidate should have 10+ years in software, expertise in LLMs, and a track record of building production-grade AI solutions for security operations.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
