  • Define secure-by-default reference architectures for cloud-native and hybrid GenAI workloads, including network isolation and secrets handling.
  • Develop and continuously improve monitoring and detection for anomalous AI behavior and unsafe outputs.
  • Lead incident response and remediation for security events involving AI applications and/or data breaches.
  • Translate policy and regulatory requirements into implementation, including governance artifacts, evidence collection, control testing, and audit-ready documentation
  • Act as the GenAI security SME with other internal Technology teams, Compliance, and business stakeholders, staying current on evolving threats.

What’s required

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience with strong coding experience in one or more general purpose languages, such as Python, Go, and/or Java.
  • Experience building containerized services using Kubernetes.
  • Experience with AI/ML and/or GenAI tools and technologies.
  • Experience defining and implementing infrastructure and application pipelines.
  • Expert understanding of software development methodologies and concepts.
  • Ability to deliver robust, production-ready security controls for agentic GenAI systems and platforms, drive continuous improvement, advocate for safety and privacy-by-design, and communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders.
  • Comfort partnering across various internal teams, such as DevOps, MLOps, Product,Legal, and Compliance, to land guardrails without blocking delivery.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, interpersonal, motivational skills in achieving business objectives.
  • Background in cybersecurity, including threat modeling and broader security engineering practices.
  • Commitment to the highest ethical standards.
