Speakeasy AI Control Plane Engineer

Speakeasy provides the AI control plane for enterprises. We help companies securely scale usage of AI with a platform to centrally manage MCPs, Skills, and Assistants your whole company can use, with fine-grained permissions, threat detection, and full observability.

We are a fast growing venture backed team based out of San Francisco and London. We have a track record of building developer tools and infrastructure widely used from Fortune 500 to well known startups.

Working at Speakeasy as an engineer means being a product owner, collaborating closely with GTM and owning product decisions from inception to customer success. We care deeply about craft, quality and execution. Our platform enables enterprises and fast-moving startups to get the most out of Claude, Codex, Cursor and other providers by

• Leveraging enterprise identity systems to secure access to MCP servers
• Securing agent sessions to ensure sensitive data and enterprise policies are respected.
• Providing easy to use primitives to build new mcps, skills and assistants (secure claw)
• Deeply understand AI usage within an organisation from tool use, token spend, and complete agent sessions.

About the Role

This is a unique, high-impact opportunity to join a passionate team about an intuitive craft to enable solving green field and hard product problems. You'll be working on an early product with a fast moving team that's done this before and collaborating with founders (and customers) directly on a daily basis.

You will collaborate closely with the rest of the product and engineering team to

• Design and ship features that enforce enterprise security policies around MCP usage and access.
• Improve and fine tune our risk policy system. This includes both deterministic and prompt based policies using LLM-as-a-judge techniques.
• Deepen our integrations with identity providers and stay up to date on the latest developments in agent identity.
• Collaborate on hardening our own security posture.

• You want to join a talent-dense team made up of ex-founders and domain experts across various developer tools, languages, and infrastructure (in fact over a quarter of the team ).
• Ownership excites you in the full lifecycle of development: building, shipping, running support, maintaining infrastructure and measuring impact.
• You have shipped features on products used by security teams
• You have an exceptional ability to learn, pickup new frameworks, and can work across the stack from backend to frontend.
• Ability to participate in on-call rotation and respond to production incidents.
• Ability to work in person in our San Francisco Office
