Product-layer guardrails define the operating envelope; this platform catches what slips through. You will design and build the secure runtime, telemetry, detection, and containment layers that let us observe every agent's behavior, run untrusted agent code under hard isolation, score it against learned baselines, and intervene safely when it deviates — without ever crossing a tenant boundary or stalling a legitimate workload. This is a hands-on principal role at the intersection of platform engineering, secure runtimes, and applied m
