Responsibilities

Define identity, authentication, secret-management, and least-privilege governance for autonomous security agents.
Lead the development of self-healing systems and agents that identify, test, and deploy fixes for vulnerability classes.
Architect secure agent deployment infrastructure, including sandboxing, prompt-injection defenses, and RAG data-leakage prevention.
Design and implement multi-agent orchestration layers using LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or custom multi-agent frameworks.
Develop the multi-year roadmap for shifting security engineering toward human-in-the-loop autonomous operations.
Evaluate agentic security platforms and LLM-native security tools from proof of concept through production.
Build agents for dynamic, recursive threat modeling of microservices and cloud architectures.
Mentor Security and Engineering teams and influence the organization’s approach to building and securing autonomous systems.

Proven track record of shipping complex distributed software in Python or Go at a Staff level.
Deep production experience with agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGPT.
Strong understanding of stateful, multi-turn agentic loops and autonomous tool-calling.
Authoritative knowledge of AI security risks, including the OWASP LLM Top 10, and experience building semantic firewalls, LLM guardrails, or early-warning systems for agents.
Deep understanding of AWS and Kubernetes cloud-native architectures for secure, scalable autonomous execution environments.
Experience building or extending IAM/IGA systems for non-human autonomous entities, including workload identity and agent-specific tokens.
Experience embedding AI agents into CI/CD pipelines for complex reasoning and security automation.
Ability to influence engineering leadership, develop technical roadmaps, and communicate agentic security concepts to executives and junior engineers.
Systems-thinking approach to security and rigorous treatment of prompt engineering as a logic and control-flow discipline.
