AI Engineer

About The Position

About Us

Novee is the AI penetration testing platform built for a world where attackers operate at machine speed. Founded in Tel Aviv in April 2025 by a team with decades of nation-state offensive security experience - including veterans of Unit 8200, Iron Dome, and elite zero-day research - we're turning that expertise into a platform that thinks like a real attacker, runs continuously, and uncovers the novel vulnerabilities that manual testers and scanners miss.

We raised $51.5M in four months, backed by top investors YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Oren Zeev - one of the fastest funding trajectories in offensive security. Our proprietary AI model outperforms frontier LLMs by over 55% on real exploitation benchmarks, and we're just getting started.

We're looking for exceptional people to join our mission: making continuous, intelligent offensive security the new standard.

About the Role

We’re hiring an AI Engineer to design and build the intelligence layer behind our autonomous offensive security platform.

You’ll develop AI agents capable of performing vulnerability discovery and exploitation at the level of top human white-hat hackers – combining deep security expertise with advanced AI reasoning and decision-making.

This role, reporting directly to our Agent TL, offers the opportunity to define how AI transforms offensive cybersecurity.

You’ll collaborate closely with AI researchers, software engineers, and security experts to translate penetration-testing workflows into intelligent, automated capabilities – systems that plan, execute, and adapt in real time.

If you’re passionate about AI, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to shape the future of autonomous cybersecurity - we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement autonomous AI agents for penetration testing and vulnerability exploitation.
• Translate offensive security workflows into intelligent, multi-step reasoning systems.
• Develop modules for exploit generation, payload delivery, and adaptive vulnerability scanning.
• Collaborate with AI researchers to fine-tune and evaluate models that enhance reasoning, adaptability, and precision.
• Build evaluation frameworks to measure exploit success, learning performance, and reliability.
• Ship production-ready AI systems that improve the speed, depth, and scalability of security testing.
• Establish best practices for safe and controlled deployment of AI agents in offensive environments.

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning, AI engineering, or cybersecurity development.
• Strong understanding of penetration testing, vulnerability research, and exploitation techniques.
• Builder mindset - thrives in fast-paced, early-stage startup environments with full ownership.
• Proficiency in Python, with experience building automation frameworks, orchestrators, or integrations.
• Proven ability to deliver production-grade AI systems (CI/CD, monitoring, rollback, scalability).

Bonus Points

• Experience building AI agents or orchestration frameworks
• Background combining AI models with offensive security tools.
• Contributions to open-source projects in cybersecurity, exploit development, or agentic AI systems.
• Advanced degree (M.Sc/Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related technical field.

What We Offer

• The chance to shape the core intelligence of a next-generation cybersecurity platform.
• A collaborative, world-class team of AI engineers, researchers, and security veterans.
• Freedom to innovate and experiment with the latest in AI-driven autonomy.
• End-to-end ownership and direct impact on the company’s technology and vision.
• Competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and the excitement of joining an AI-first cybersecurity startup at its foundation.
