You are energized by problems without established playbooks, comfortable building in ambiguity, and motivated by raising the bar in an area that is still being defined. ## Description * Drive the AI Security technical strategy and roadmap, defining how Ripple secures its AI systems, governs agentic workflows, and embeds security controls into the AI development lifecycle from day one. * Design and implement security controls for LLM-integrated and agentic AI systems, including sandboxing, identity and permission scoping, runtime monitoring, and containment of autonomous agent actions that exceed authorized scope. * Own AI security across the Controlled Agentic SDLC, establishing security guardrails, AI provenance standards, dual-review requirements, and audit trail controls for AI-assisted development across Ripple Engineering. * Lead the security review and risk assessment of all AI integrations entering production, including LLM APIs, SaaS copilots, AI code editors, agentic workflows, third-party MCP servers, and vendor-embedded AI. * Build and scale Ripple's Shadow AI detection capability, surfacing unsanctioned AI usage, driving adoption of the AI acceptable use policy, and ensuring all AI workflows operate within Ripple's auditable perimeter. * Serve as Ripple's go-to technical resource on agentic AI risks, including MCP server security, tool poisoning, prompt injection at the orchestration layer, and excessive agency in multi-agent systems, translating emerging threats into concrete mitigations with Engineering and Product. * Shape Ripple's external AI security posture, contributing to industry frameworks, engaging regulators, and publishing research that establishes Ripple as a credible voice in responsible AI security. ## Related Videos - [Resilient by Design: Building Robust Architectures in High-Stakes Financial Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2106-resilient-by-design-building-robust-architectures-in-high-stakes-financial-systems) - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [Developer Tools for Microsoft Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/450-developer-tools-for-microsoft-azure) - [Automated Security for the Entire SDLC](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100323-automated-security-for-the-entire-sdlc) - [The New AI Security Stack: Observe, Detect, Protect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100302-the-new-ai-security-stack-observe-detect-protect) - [No Keys for the Robot: GitOps as the Control Plane for Autonomous Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100095-no-keys-for-the-robot-gitops-as-the-control-plane-for-autonomous-agents) ## Related Articles - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Trustworthy AI Starts at Deployment: 5 Checks Before You Ship](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/753-trustworthy-ai-starts-at-deployment-5-checks-before-you-ship) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai)
