Software development is changing fast, and code is no longer written by humans alone. Secure Code Warrior is the AI Software Governance platform that gives organizations visibility into how their software is created, strengthens developer capability, and reduces risk before code reaches production. Built on a decade as the world's leading secure coding training platform, we're trusted by enterprises worldwide. We're a venture-backed company with offices in Australia, the United States, Belgium, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. Join Secure Code Warrior and help us in our mission to create a safer digital landscape. We’re empowering organizations to secure their software–no matter how the code is written! Software development is moving through its biggest shift ever — from human-written code, to AI-assisted development, to fully agentic systems where AI writes, tests, and deploys code autonomously. At every stage, enterprises face the same three problems: developers and agents need to learn to build securely, someone needs to govern what AI can and can’t touch in the codebase, and when something goes wrong, you need to know which AI did what, where, and for whom. Secure Code Warrior is building the control plane for secure AI software development. We are defining the AI Software Governance category — and this role exists to ensure the technical foundations of that category are sound, forward-looking, and defensible. As our first Distinguished Engineer and founding R&D Lead, your mandate is broad and deliberate: tackle the hardest unsolved problems on our roadmap, generate the technical intelligence that keeps us ahead of the market, and build the prototypes that prove — or disprove — the ideas that will define our next generation of product.
