  • Support the embedding security across the end-to-end agentic SDLC (design, test, release, governance)
  • Develop reusable security patterns and standards for engineering teams
  • Support secure go-to-market processes for new products and capabilities
  • Partner with engineering teams to ensure effective handover and implementation
  • Validate infosec hypothesis through the build and testing of POCs and Pilots with hands-on POCs
  • Support the scoping, build, and industrialization of infosec AI projects across the org.
