What this interview will probe

Secure Cognition's products and infrastructure as Devin autonomously reads, writes, and executes code inside customer environments, owning the threat model for an AI software engineer with broad access. You'll harden sandboxed execution, cloud infrastructure, and the agent's permission boundaries. A technical interview would probe how you'd isolate and contain arbitrary agent-run code, design least-privilege access for an autonomous agent, and reason about the unique attack surface created by an AI that can modify and deploy software.

How should I prepare for a Security Engineer interview?

Read the role brief, refresh the core stack, and practice explaining tradeoffs out loud. Live interviews test clarity as much as knowledge.

What do I get after the interview?

ExoForm gives you an overall score, a verdict, competency scores, and answer-by-answer feedback.

Can I use my own job description instead?

Yes. You can paste any job description and run a custom interview instead of starting from the catalog.
