Roboflow, the YC S20 computer vision startup, is seeking a Security Engineer to help protect its AI infrastructure as the company scales. The role focuses on securing the platform that powers over 1 million developers and two-thirds of the Fortune 100 who build computer vision applications using Roboflow's tools.

Founded in 2019, Roboflow has raised $63 million from top investors to make the world programmable through vision AI. The company's distributed team spans New York and San Francisco offices with remote options, emphasizing a culture where engineers own outcomes rather than just inputs. Their platform transforms visual data into software applications across industries from sports broadcasting at Wimbledon to manufacturing quality control at Rivian.

This security position comes as Roboflow continues aggressive growth, recently securing $40 million in additional funding to expand enterprise and open-source vision AI capabilities. The company has also released RF-DETR, a state-of-the-art real-time object detection model, demonstrating their commitment to cutting-edge AI research. Candidates will join a team that values curiosity, craftsmanship, and autonomy—qualities embodied by their raccoon mascot—while helping secure the infrastructure that enables AI to interpret and act on visual information at scale.
