Zero Trust for Agentic AI: Xage hires Senior Engineer for secure runtime control

Xage Security is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build a “Zero Trust for Agentic AI” platform. The role targets the security gap as AI agents move from sandboxed pilots to autonomous systems that can execute real-world actions, invoke APIs, and access sensitive databases across hybrid cloud and OT environments. The engineer will design AI gateways and “sentries” to inspect inputs, outputs, and tool/API calls. They will implement deterministic, identity-based least-privilege access to block prompt injection, rogue agent behavior, data leakage, and privilege escalation. Responsibilities also include using ML-based monitoring to detect anomalous or unsafe agent actions, and creating agent identity management with automated credential rotation to reduce hardcoded-secret and shared service-account risks. A key deliverable is end-to-end, tamper-resistant logging so every prompt, action, tool call, and resource access can be audited, plus a security fabric that scales across multi-cloud, on-premises, and edge/OT deployments. Location is Palo Alto, CA. The salary range listed is $140K–$200K (and the posting also references an additional base salary range of $100K–$120K). Xage cites major momentum, including a $17M U.S. Space Force contract and recognition from Forbes, Gartner, and Forrester. No cryptocurrency products are mentioned.
