Reporting to the Global CISO, this role owns hands-on development of AI agents, automation pipelines, and LLM-based workflows while ensuring they meet security, compliance, and governance requirements. The engineer will partner with Information Security, Legal, Compliance, Privacy, IT, and Engineering to take AI use cases from concept to production., Agentic AI Development * Design, build, and own production-grade agentic AI systems - including multi-step agents, tool-using LLM pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows, and automated decision-making systems. * Develop and maintain the company's internal agentic AI platform, including agent orchestration, memory management, tool integrations, and human-in-the-loop review workflows. * Identify high-value agentic use cases across business functions and deliver working solutions end-to-end, from requirements through deployment and monitoring. * Establish guardrails, safety patterns, and evaluation frameworks for agentic systems, including output validation, escalation logic, and auditability. AI Security Engineering * Implement and maintain security controls for AI tools and workflows: data handling, access controls, logging, monitoring, prompt injection mitigations, and acceptable-use enforcement. * Perform security reviews and threat modeling for LLM integrations, agentic workflows, APIs, and third-party AI/SaaS solutions. * Identify and mitigate AI-specific risks: sensitive data exposure, over-permissioned agents, insecure tool use, supply-chain exposure, and inadequate human oversight. * Support AI governance and compliance activities with technical guidance, architecture input, and implementation evidence. Security Engineering & Automation * Develop scripts, integrations, and lightweight applications using Python, PowerShell, REST APIs, and workflow automation platforms. * Build and maintain SIEM detections, SOAR playbooks, dashboards, and reporting capabilities, including telemetry for AI-enabled workflows. * Engineer security improvements across identity, cloud, SaaS, endpoint, and data protection domains. * Respond to security incidents involving AI tools, data exposure, and automation failures. Collaboration & Governance * Translate business and control objectives into secure AI designs, prototypes, and production capabilities. * Manage and communicate project status, risk decisions, and implementation progress to stakeholders. * Maintain standard operating documentation for knowledge transfer, audit readiness, and disaster recovery. ## Related Videos - [JavaScript?
