Agentic AI - Information Security Engineer

StaffRight Associates is recruiting for a technical visionary to lead the architectural fortification of Agentic AI ecosystems. The mission is to decouple traditional security constraints from dynamic AI workflows, engineering a proactive defense-in-depth strategy that anticipates emergent threats. You will be responsible for the systemic integrity of autonomous agents, ensuring that as these systems gain agency, they remain anchored in a rigorous, automated security framework that minimizes the attack surface while maximizing operational velocity., * Architect and iterate upon complex security protocols to ensure the systemic resilience of the organizational infrastructure.

• Formalize threat modeling and vulnerability assessment methodologies specifically tailored for Agentic AI systems and autonomous execution loops.
• Engineer sophisticated automation engines to programmatically detect, isolate, and neutralize common and emergent security vectors.
• Orchestrate the deployment of high-fidelity endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions across a distributed Linux-based environment.
• Validate the integrity of AI-driven workflows through continuous red-teaming, penetration testing, and cryptographic verification.
• Optimize the DevSecOps lifecycle by integrating automated security gates into the continuous deployment pipeline for intelligent systems.

The rapid evolution of autonomous systems necessitates a paradigm shift in Information Security and Cybersecurity Engineering, moving beyond perimeter defense into the realm of Agentic AI Governance. This mandate requires an elite practitioner possessing an advanced academic background-ideally a Ph.D. or Master's in Computer Science, Mathematical Engineering, or Cryptography-to apply first-principles thinking to the unique threat models inherent in LLM-driven agency., * Architectural Philosophy: A deep-seated belief in "Security as Code" and the ability to design systems that are secure by design rather than by perimeter.

• Technical Versatility: Mastery of Linux systems internals and a profound understanding of low-level security fundamentals (memory safety, network protocols, and process isolation).
• Programming Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in systems programming and scripting (e.g., Python, Rust, or Go) to build custom tooling and automate complex mitigation logic.
• AI/ML Literacy: A nuanced understanding of the unique vulnerabilities associated with LLM agency, including prompt injection, data poisoning, and unauthorized tool-use escalation.
• Communication Synthesis: The ability to translate forensic technical findings into strategic security policies that align with broader organizational goals., * Advanced Degree: A Ph.D. or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, or a related STEM field is highly preferred.
• Foundational Rigor: A background characterized by a strong mathematical foundation and a proven track record of solving non-linear security challenges.
• Experience Tier: While the search is open to various levels of seniority, candidates must demonstrate a level of technical depth consistent with the high-caliber compensation and the complexity of securing autonomous agents.
