What is nice to have * Prior prompt engineering or red-teaming experience. * Familiarity with enterprise AI orchestration platforms. * Experience with policies-as-code, audit automation, or infrastructure-as-code approaches to governance. * Contributions to responsible AI frameworks or previous work in highly regulated industries ## Description We are looking for an experienced AI Governance Engineer to own the technical governance of generative AI and machine learning tools across the enterprise. This is a high-impact, hands-on role that sits at the intersection of software engineering, security, compliance, and AI. You will translate complex policies into practical guardrails, evaluate and onboard new AI capabilities safely, and ensure our developers can move fast without breaking things (or regulations). You are the bridge between "AI looks cool" and "AI is safe, compliant, and cost-effective at enterprise scale." \n What you'll do * Design, implement, and maintain the technical governance framework for all GenAI/LLM tools and integrations. * Evaluate, approve, onboard, monitor, and retire third-party and open-source AI tools (LLMs, vector databases, agents, orchestration platforms, etc.). * Build and operate usage monitoring, cost tracking, compliance dashboards, and automated audit trails. * Create lightweight, developer-friendly processes for tool requests, risk assessments, exceptions, and approvals. * Partner with Legal, Security, Compliance, Procurement, and Engineering to translate policies into enforceable technical controls. * Identify and mitigate AI-specific risks: prompt injection, data leakage, model misuse, training-data exposure, etc. * Develop and deliver training, playbooks, workshops, and documentation that get used. * Stay ahead of evolving regulations, new attack vectors, and model capabilities. * Continuously optimize the balance between innovation velocity, risk, cost, and compliance. ## Related Videos - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [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) - [Developer Tools for Microsoft Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/450-developer-tools-for-microsoft-azure) - [Responsible AI @ Microsoft - Governance, Standards, Learnings](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1544-responsible-ai-microsoft-governance-standards-learnings) - [AI for Enterprise Developers - Dr. Damir Dobric](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1831-ai-for-enterprise-developers-dr-damir-dobric) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) ## 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) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [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 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development)
