#LI-KM9 #LI-Remote, Develop and deliver technical product presentations, gather customer requirements, lead product evaluations, configure solutions, and design test plans for successful customer outcomes. The role requires strong cybersecurity and networking expertise, including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, VPNs, and firewalls, plus the ability to use AI tools and generative AI to improve troubleshooting, solution design, automation, and customer problem-solving.

## Description

As a Security Architect, you will build secure agent runtimes and systems, ensuring robust security capabilities in agentic AI solutions while conducting security evaluations., We are looking for a Security Architect / Security Engineer to join our team. This is a Remote-USA role, reporting to the VP, Information Security Engineering in the Exposure Management & Security Operations department. We're looking for a hands-on Security Architect / Security Engineer to design, build, and operationalize security capabilities across Agentic AI and Cloud Security. This is an implementation-focused role for someone who can ship production-grade security controls, develop secure reference architectures, and drive response and remediation for security issues across AI systems and cloud-native environments.

What you'll do (Role Expectations)

 * Build secure agent runtimes, reusable libraries, reference implementations, and validation pipelines for agentic AI applications and workflows
 * Implement secure agent patterns including planner/executor flows, tool routing, structured outputs, memory/state controls, and RAG trust boundaries
 * Design and implement security controls for cloud-native environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including IAM, workload protection, and logging
 * Partner with platform and engineering teams to embed secure-by-default cloud controls into shared services and developer workflows
 * Lead incident response, triage, and remediation workflows for cloud platforms and AI systems in partnership with SOC and engineering teams

Who You Are (Success Profile)

 * You are a pragmatic builder who is obsessed with creating, iterating, and shipping secure reference architectures, balancing technical excellence with rapid, hands-on value delivery.
 * You thrive in ambiguity and feel comfortable designing secure paths for cutting-edge technologies like Agentic AI where standards are still evolving.
 * You are driven by innovation, bringing deep curiosity and technical engineering fundamentals to solve complex, novel security challenges in cloud and AI environments.
 * You act like an owner with a strong bias for action, navigating seamlessly between high-level cloud security strategy and deep, hands-on control implementation.
 * You are resilient and adaptable, maintaining composure and focus during critical incident response activities to guide cross-functional teams toward swift remediation., The Senior Sales Engineer presents technical products, gathers customer requirements, leads product evaluations, configures solutions, and designs evaluation test plans. The role requires cybersecurity and networking expertise, including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, VPNs, and firewalls, along with experience applying AI tools to troubleshooting, solution design, automation, and customer problem-solving.
