Staff Identity Engineer

Colossus Technologies Group

What You'll Do

  • Build and improve Watch products: static and dynamic scanning for MCP servers, skills, plugins, and agent behavior detection on endpoints
  • Develop shadow detection: identify unregistered MCP servers, skills, plugins, and agents running outside governance across the enterprise
  • Own AppSec for the platform: penetration testing, vulnerability management, dependency scanning, and security hardening of the control plane
  • Build automated version scanning: CI/CD-integrated security checks that run on each new MCP server version, skill update, or plugin release
  • Extend detection coverage to CLI agents (Codex, OpenCode) and browser-based agents

Responsibilities

  • Build and improve Watch products: static and dynamic scanning for MCP servers, skills, plugins, and agent behavior detection on endpoints
  • Develop shadow detection: identify unregistered MCP servers, skills, plugins, and agents running outside governance across the enterprise
  • Own AppSec for the platform: penetration testing, vulnerability management, dependency scanning, and security hardening of the control plane
  • Build automated version scanning: CI/CD-integrated security checks that run on each new MCP server version, skill update, or plugin release
  • Extend detection coverage to CLI agents (Codex, OpenCode) and browser-based agents

Qualifications

  • 8+ years in security engineering with deep experience in application security, security tooling development, or endpoint detection

Required Skills

  • Builder, not operator. You've created scanning or detection systems: parsers, rule engines, analysis pipelines.
  • Experience with shadow IT detection, asset discovery, or endpoint monitoring in enterprise environments
  • Strong Python skills (our scanning pipeline and platform backend are Python/FastAPI)
  • Understanding of API and gateway attack patterns: SSRF, token theft, injection, supply-chain attacks
  • Awareness of emerging AI/LLM security threats: prompt injection, tool poisoning, jailbreaking, indirect prompt injection through tool responses
