Staff Engineer Agentic Profile - Detectify

What we do at Detectify

We're Detectify, a cybersecurity company obsessed with making the internet safer. We’re a team motivated by building cutting-edge tech that actually makes a difference. We’re talking about real-life hackers who know their stuff. You’ll learn from the best and join a team that combines human ingenuity with automation to streamline attack surface discovery and vulnerability assessments.

It turns out that our platform is really well-suited as a tool for agents. Coding agents use us to verify their work. Security engineers use us to triage. We have an MCP and we're architecting tools for deeper agentic integrations, and we're experimenting with dogfooding all of it by running coding factories and background agents internally containing full loops from design through development to security verification. It’s not just about doing the agentic thing, it needs to be secure and well thought.

We're looking for a Staff Engineer who lives at the intersection of hands-on engineering, deep knowledge building distributed systems, architecting for agents and building autonomous agentic development workflows.

The problem you will be solving

In 3 months we want a cohesive AI strategy that's actually lived, and an agentic development process that lets us grow alongside the customers we're building for. This is an exciting opportunity to join a company where your contributions are highly valued and you’ll get the chance to make a real difference

We have ~15 engineers across two product teams and a developer experience team. There's real enthusiasm for AI, with a strong emphasis on security. Experiments are happening in every direction. Your job is to bring coherence, not by mandating how teams work, but by building and demonstrating what great looks like, earning trust, and helping everyone move in the same direction.

What you will be doing

Building distributed systems

Experimenting with local and open weight models

Shipping as part of a product team. This is not a strategy-only role

Architecting how Detectify exposes itself to agents (MCP design, agentic workflows, tool surfaces)

Running real coding factories and background agent loops

Coaching engineers across the organization on agentic ways of working

Helping set direction on AI adoption within the company

Enabling observability, resilience and cost optimization
