About LangChain
LangChain is dedicated to making intelligent agents a common part of our daily lives. We provide the essential framework for agent engineering that enables developers to transition from experimental prototypes to production-ready AI agents that organizations can depend on. Having started as widely embraced open-source tools, we have evolved to also deliver a robust platform for the development, evaluation, deployment, and management of agents at scale.
Our tools, including LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and Agent Builder, are actively utilized by teams delivering tangible AI products across both startups and large corporations. Millions of developers rely on LangChain to empower AI teams at renowned companies such as Replit, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, and 35% of the Fortune 500.
With $125M raised in our Series B funding round from prominent investors including IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we are at a pivotal point of innovation, accelerating growth, and empowering every team member to have a significant impact on our products and collaborative culture. At LangChain, your contributions can truly influence how this technology integrates into the real world.
About the Role
As the hands-on security lead, you will work closely with our core product teams to ensure the security of agent workloads from end to end, encompassing everything from SDK to LangSmith/Graph services and customer integrations. You will be responsible for defining our security roadmap, achieving immediate hardening wins, and elevating the standards for how AI infrastructure is secured in production. We are seeking engineers with expertise in either cloud/infrastructure security or application security (expertise in both is a significant advantage!).
Lead product & platform security: Design and implement application/infrastructure security controls across LangSmith, LangGraph, and the LangChain SDK ecosystem (Python/TS/Go).
Implement secure-by-default authentication and authorization: Enhance SSO/SAML/OIDC/SCIM, manage token lifecycles, establish service-to-service authentication, and ensure tenant isolation for both cloud and self-hosted customers.
Vulnerability management: Oversee scanning, triage, and patching SLAs; coordinate with engineering teams to ensure swift remediation without delaying delivery.
Develop secure code, conduct reviews, and create tools: Implement secure design principles, write pull requests, execute penetration tests, and introduce lightweight checks (linters, dependency/supply-chain scanning, SBOM/SLSA provenance) to facilitate security at scale.
Enhance hardening & operations: Focus on network segmentation/Zero Trust, Kubernetes posture management, secrets management, key rotation, least-privilege IAM, and egress controls.
