Prompt Engineer Jobs in Boston, MA (NOW HIRING)

You're a seasoned software engineer ready for your next challenge. In this role, you'll join Invicti's newly formed AI team as a Senior Software Engineer, Agentic AI, and play a pivotal role in building our next-generation Agentic AppSec solution. As AI reshapes how software is built and how attackers exploit it, you'll help give defenders an edge by applying attacker-inspired techniques to solve modern security challenges.

You design, build, and deliver software solutions rapidly, working across the stack from agent architectures and memory systems to integrations with security tools and developer workflows. You collaborate closely with product and security teams to deliver capabilities that solve real customer problems. You thrive in a high-ownership role on a small team, where your technical decisions directly shape the product, with an initial focus on agentic pentesting.
