In this role, you’ll help shape how Dropbox secures AI systems and agentic workflows, building and operating the controls that protect the infrastructure, tools, and data they rely on. You’ll tackle challenges such as prompt injection, secure agent access, and MCP integrations, turning emerging risks into practical, reusable safeguards. Partnering across engineering and security, you’ll lead hands-on work that enables teams to adopt AI safely while protecting customer data.
Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.

Applicants are encouraged to ask for more details of the rotations to which the applicant is applying.
Requirements
- 8+ years of Security Experience, demonstrating impactful contributions to security strategies.
- Experience in securing agentic AI systems with hands-on implementation of security controls targeting AI-specific vulnerabilities like prompt injection, data or model poisoning, and AI supply-chain risk.
- Experience in designing and implementing identity and authorization for non-human workloads and agents using modern frameworks such as SPIFFE/SPIRE, OAuth 2.1, OIDC, or cloud provider equivalents.
- Experience implementing policy-as-code, infrastructure-as-code, and security automation for cloud and AI platforms.
- Experience with agentic frameworks and MCP tool integration.

- Experience with security tools such as Teleport, CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, IPS/IDS, SIEM or SOAR.
- Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or equivalent.
- Involvement in security community activities, conferences, or publications.
