- Works with stakeholders and senior business leaders to recommend business modifications during periods of vulnerability
- Responsible for triaging based on risk assessments of various threats and managing resources to cover impact of disruptive events
- Applies reuse-first, AI-assisted practices within SDLC/toolchain routines to strengthen security testing and control validation, ensuring traceability/auditability and alignment to resiliency and security expectations.
- Establish secure-by-design engineering practices (threat modeling, secure coding standards, dependency hygiene, security testing) integrated into the SDLC/CI/CD.
- Works effectively with Product, Data, Security, and Risk/Compliance to shape requirements, define controls, and drive approvals without stalling delivery.
- Coaches engineers on agent patterns, secure coding, and testing; raises the bar through pairing, design reviews, and documentation that scales.
- Sets a coherent architecture, makes trade-offs explicit (quality vs. latency vs. cost vs. risk), and aligns stakeholders on a roadmap that reduces rework.
Required Qualifications Capabilities and Skills
- Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and advanced applied experience
- Skilled in planning, designing, and implementing enterprise-level security solutions
- Proven experience designing and delivering production-grade AI agent platforms or services — including orchestration, tool routing, memory and state management, and failure handling — or equivalent distributed systems
