This role secures AI platforms and agentic tooling as they're adopted across the firm and extends core security engineering practices into the identity, network, and logging capabilities that support them. This role owns the implementation and continuous improvement of security controls protecting AI systems throughout their lifecycle, from onboarding and integration review through ongoing monitoring and retirement and brings strong automation to bear as the firm's technology footprint evolves. In-Office Requirement: 4 days per week Primary Responsibilities AI Platforms, Gateway - 30% * Secure and operate the AI gateway that brokers access between users, agents, and downstream model providers and connected services, including authentication, authorization, guardrails, and usage governance. * Review and harden AI agent and tool integrations for excessive scope, credential handling, and data-exfiltration risk before and after deployment. * Define and enforce security guardrails for model inputs, outputs, and tool usage. Partner with platform owners to pilot new guardrail configurations and measure their effectiveness. Automation, Identity & Privileged Access - 25% * Build automation using supported APIs, reducing manual and error-prone security operations. * Support privileged access management across the environment. Network, Endpoint & Infrastructure Security - 25% * Secure network paths across the security stack, including SD-WAN, firewall, SASE/ZTNA, and WAF policies for API and platform traffic. * Support broader network and endpoint security engineering work as capacity allows, including firewall migrations, SSL inspection tuning, and device-posture troubleshooting. Logging, Telemetry & Observability - 20% * Design and build logging and telemetry infrastructure to support security monitoring across the environment. * Evaluate and integate telemetry pipeline technologies to route security logs reliably and cost-effectively to the SIEM. * Work with data retention, normalization, and enrichment standards for logs so analysts and automation can act on them; identify and close logging and data-quality gaps. * Build dashboards, alerts, and health checks to monitor availability, security posture, performance, and reliability across assigned capabilities. ## Related Videos - [This App Reached 10,000 Users in One Week.
