## Description

You are a Security-Focused Software Engineer providing a dual-lens approach to our architecture: senior security guidance and hands-on software development. Partnering closely with Engineering, Architecture, Product Management, SRE, and Cisco's Security and Trust Organization (STO), you build secure, resilient, and scalable platform features-including AI-powered capabilities-while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. As a primary technical bridge between software development and security, you write production-grade code, assess the security impact of feature designs (including AI services), and build automation to improve our security posture. Typical responsibilities include:

 * Use Go or Java to implement platform security features and core infrastructure.
 * Partner with engineering teams to design secure patterns for AI/ML model deployment, data protection, and inference security within the Intersight ecosystem.
 * Automate security tooling, vulnerability remediation, and continuous compliance checks using Python.
 * Interpret Cisco-level mandates and security procedures into actionable code, control expectations, andautomated remediation workflows.
 * Review new feature designs, AI architectures and infrastructure changes, identifying security gaps early and recommending mitigations that balance usability, performance, and security.
 * Guide remediation priorities across automated scans, penetration tests, and security reviews, ensuring issues are triaged, assigned, and tracked to closure.
