## Description

AI agents that plan, call tools, and take actions without step-by-step human direction create an attack surface that conventional security controls were not built to cover. This role centers on that problem inside a research organization whose science runs on large-scale computation. The hire will shape and strengthen the organization's security practices, assess and close out threats and vulnerabilities, and automate the handling of recurring security issues, with protecting agentic AI processes as a primary priority for the team., * Secure agentic AI workflows and the systems that run them, a central focus for the team, by identifying where autonomous agents introduce new risk and building controls to contain it.

 * Assess potential threats and vulnerabilities across the environment and carry each finding through to remediation.
 * Refine and extend the organization's security processes so they keep pace with how the research platform evolves.
 * Build automation that detects and mitigates common security issues, then maintain and improve it as needs change.
 * Communicate security findings and the reasoning behind them clearly to technical colleagues and non-specialists alike.
