Job Description:
Roles and Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain AI-enabled security solutions that automate vulnerability triage, enrichment, prioritization, and ticket routing.
- Use AI-assisted development (“vibe coding”) and modern engineering practices to rapidly prototype security tools, then harden them for production use.
- Build automation workflows and integrations across scanners, cloud control planes, CI/CD pipelines, ticketing systems such as Azure DevOps, and SIEM and SOAR platforms.
- Develop cloud security posture management capabilities, including automated misconfiguration detection, policy-as-code, drift remediation, and guardrails for multi-cloud environments.
- Embed security into DevSecOps pipelines through automated SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection, container and infrastructure-as-code scanning, and AI-assisted code review and fix suggestions.
- Engineer AI solutions for risk management, such as evidence collection, control testing, risk register enrichment, and automated assessment support.
- Build security dashboards and metrics pipelines that give leadership and practitioners accurate, timely views of posture, backlog, remediation performance, and risk trends.
- Design human-in-the-loop controls, approval gates, and audit logging for automated and AI-driven actions, so that automation is safe, governed, and explainable.
- Evaluate and validate AI models, agents, and tools for accuracy, false-positive rates, cost, and security, and document their limitations.
- Apply secure coding and engineering practices to security tooling itself, including secrets management, least-privilege access, dependency hygiene, and testing.
- Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge articles so that solutions can be operated and handed off reliably.
- Partner with the security operations, governance, and IT teams to identify manual processes that are good candidates for automation and deliver them iteratively.
Skills and Attributes for Success
