e.g. Using an LLM to rapidly prototype a scam-detection classifier, then iterating with real user feedback - rather than waiting for a complete spec before writing any code.
Curiosity about how things actually work
e.g. Investigating why an anti-phishing model produces false positives on certain URL patterns - tracing it back to training data distribution rather than just adjusting thresholds.
Comfort with ambiguity and change
e.g. When a new type of voice-cloning scam emerges, jumping in to explore detection approaches before the full product requirement is written.
POC-first work habit
e.g. Spinning up a lightweight demo of an AI-powered privacy scanner in a few days to pressure-test assumptions with the team - before committing to a full implementation plan.
Follows new tech
Keeps up with developments in AI and adjacent fields - not just passively, but with enough judgment to separate signal from noise. Can spot which emerging capability (e.g. multimodal models, on-device AI) might be relevant to consumer security before it becomes obvious.
Business awareness
Has some sense of how a product creates value and why certain technical choices matter commercially. Can connect an engineering decision to a real-world outcome - for example, under

ABOUT TREND MICRO & TRENDLIFE
AI is at the forefront of technological advancement - and cybersecurity is one of the fields being transformed the most. As a global cybersecurity leader with decades of threat research and intelligence, Trend Micro is committed to staying at the cutting edge of this shift, integrating AI to make the exchange of digital information safer and more secure for hundreds of thousands of organizations and millions of individuals worldwide.
TrendLife is our consumer-focused division, delivering the best security, privacy, and anti-scam solutions for everyday users. We build products that protect real people from real threats - phishing, identity fraud, malicious content, and more - and we do it by combining deep security expertise with fast, iterative product development.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
AI is changing how software gets built - and we want engineers who are already living that change, not waiting for it. In a domain as fast-moving as consumer security and anti-scam, the ability to learn quickly, adapt, and validate ideas through real prototypes is more valuable than a perfect resume. This role is for someone who uses AI to move faster, thinks beyond the obvious solution, and is comfortable making real things under ambiguity.
The scope of this role spans both ends of the spectrum: building new products and services from the ground up, and rethinking or modifying the architecture of existing ones. Both happen here, and you will need to be comfortable with both.
Whether you are fresh out of school or a few years in, what matters most is your mindset: curiosity about how things work at a fundamental level, the habit of building to learn, and genuine enthusiasm for what AI makes possible.
