Staff AI Engineer

Our Engineering organization is scaling its AI Engineering capabilities under new leadership, creating an opportunity to shape the next generation of AI at Rapid7. We're looking for Staff AI Engineers to drive the design and delivery of sophisticated LLM and agentic AI systems, influencing technical direction across teams and solving complex, cross-functional challenges. You'll establish engineering best practices, guide architectural decisions and mentor other engineers, helping translate customer needs into scalable AI solutions that advance our product and platform capabilities.

About the Team AI is reshaping cybersecurity on both sides. Attackers can use AI to strike at machine speed, and only AI-powered defense can keep up. At the same time, organizations can only adopt AI with confidence if it is secure.

Rapid7 sits at the intersection of security and AI, and we are building industry-defining products for this new era. Rapid7's AI Engineering team builds the AI that powers our security platform. We are AI engineers and applied scientists who take models from research to production, combining open-source and frontier LLMs, AI agents, and fast predictive models with more than 20 years of Rapid7 security expertise.

Our work drives core use cases across Detection and Response, such as alert triage, threat investigation, and automated response, and Exposure and Remediation, such as vulnerability prioritization, attack surface risk assessment, and guided remediation. Together
