Our mission is simple: safeguard the digital world and empower people to work securely and confidently. Join us in our pursuit to defend data and protect people. How We Work: At Proofpoint you’ll be part of a global team that breaks barriers to redefine cybersecurity guided by our BRAVE core values:  Bold in how we dream and innovate Responsive to feedback, challenges and opportunities Accountable for results and best in class outcomes Visionary in future focused problem-solving Exceptional in execution and impact The Role: You’ll   help turn Applied AI ideas into dependable software that gets used in the real world — by   customers   and by our   internal threat analysts . Your work will help the team move faster (better tooling and workflows), keep results consistent and reproducible (evaluation and tracking), and help analysts self-serve through well-designed prompts, context, and tools.   You’ll   be supported by senior engineers, but   you’ll   still ship meaningful work and see direct impact.     What   you’ll   do: Build practical Python software   Create and improve backend components, libraries, and CLI tools used across our Applied AI Research workflows.   Help analysts self-serve LLM workflows   Partner with internal threat analysts to develop and   maintain   prompt/context patterns, guardrails, and templates — and help roll these into a self-serve setup using tools like   Langfuse   (or similar)   for prompt management, tracing, and evaluation.   Contribute to productizing and deploying AI solutions   Work with senior engineers to move prototypes into production: packaging, integration, reliability, and deployment.   You’ll   take part in discussions about   tradeoffs   (speed vs. quality, cost vs. latency, build vs. buy) and learn how production decisions get made.   Support evaluation & reproducibility   Contribute to lightweight evaluation harnesses, experiment tracking, and documentation so we can repeat results and trust what we ship.   Use AI coding assistants thoughtfully   Use tools like   Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor (or similar)   to accelerate development while keeping a high bar for correctness, readability, and tests.     What you bring: (We know no one checks every box — this is our ideal list.)   1–2 years of experience   in software development (or equivalent through internships + strong projects).   Good software fundamentals : clean code, debugging, data structures, basic design/architecture thinking.   Python, backend-leaning : comfortable writing small services, scripts, or CLI apps; familiarity with APIs and data handling.   Interest in applied AI : exposure to AI tooling/data pipelines/context building (coursework, projects, or on-the-job).   Hands-on with AI coding assistants : experience using at least one of   Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor , or similar.   Proof you like building : side projects, GitHub repos, demos, or hobby tools you can share.     Nice to have: Interest in   agentic AI   (tool use, workflows, simple orchestration).   Familiarity with Docker, basic cloud concepts, or evaluation/observability tools.   Comfort collaborating with non-engineers (e.g., analysts) and translating needs into tooling.     How   we’ll   track progress: In your first   3–12 months ,   we’ll   look for:   Shipped improvements   to our internal AI tooling (e.g., a CLI tool, pipeline step, evaluation feature, or reliability enhancement).   Analyst enablement : prompt/context patterns and a workflow that makes analysts faster and more consistent (with tracing/eval via   Langfuse   or similar).   Production contribution : you help deliver at least one AI feature/workflow into a production-like environment with guidance (and you can explain the   tradeoffs   we chose).   Growing ownership : you get faster at scoping work, asking good questions, and delivering maintainable code.   Why Proofpoint?
