Your work will help improve threat detection, automate security operations, and advance AI-enabled cyber resilience across the organization.

What you'll do:

• Design, develop, and deploy AI-powered cybersecurity capabilities for threat detection, anomaly identification, identity and access risk analysis, security operations automation, incident response orchestration, and cyber threat intelligence.
• Architect and implement multi-agent and agentic AI frameworks that support enterprise cybersecurity use cases, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, vector search, and knowledge retrieval systems.
• Lead the engineering and delivery of scalable, cloud-native AI security platforms on Google Cloud using tools such as Vertex AI, Gemini, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
• Integrate AI capabilities with enterprise cybersecurity platforms and services, including Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), secrets management, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR), Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), and security telemetry platforms.
• Establish engineering standards and lifecycle practices for AI platforms, including model training pipelines, automated deployment, monitoring, evaluation, drift detection, Infrastructure as Code, and continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) for machine learning workloads.
• Embed security, privacy, compliance, and responsible AI practices into platform design by applying Zero Trust principles, Secure-by-Design methods, and controls against prompt injection, adversarial machine learning threats, data poisoning, model manipulation, and unauthorized access.
• Partner with cross-functional technical and business teams to translate cybersecurity and business requirements into scalable AI solutions, while influencing architecture, technical direction, and enterprise adoption of modern AI engineering practices.
• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

• 10+ years of experience with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD platforms, MLOps, AIOps, and Infrastructure as Code in production environments.
• 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering across Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Governance Administration (IGA), secrets management, Zero Trust architecture, and cloud security.
• 10+ years of experience with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR), threat detection and response, Security Operations Center (SOC) technologies, and security automation platforms.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Information Security, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.
