Our client, an IT Services and Consulting company, is looking for a Generative AI Security Engineer – Agentic AI & Secure SDLC Automation for their Phoenix, AZ/ Hybrid location.
 
Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain security automation tooling to enhance visibility, enforce security best practices, and streamline processes.
• Automate secure design reviews and integrate security checks into pull request workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
• Design and develop agentic AI systems that autonomously plan, execute, and adapt tasks across complex workflows
• Integrate agents with enterprise systems, APIs, data sources, and security platforms
• Build Secure SDLC agents that embed security across the software lifecycle, including requirements and secure design review, threat modeling, code review, dependency and vulnerability analysis, remediation guidance, pull-request checks, and release/security gates.
• Design agents that securely interact with source control, CI/CD, issue tracking, security scanners, cloud services, internal APIs, and developer tooling while enforcing least privilege, secrets protection, authorization boundaries, auditability, and approval workflows.
• Establish agent quality and security evaluation practices covering task success, groundedness, code quality, secure coding, prompt-injection resistance, data leakage, unsafe tool use, permissions, reliability, latency, and cost.
• Apply secure-by-design engineering to AI-assisted development, including sandboxing, policy enforcement, telemetry/observability, traceability, red-team testing, and controls for agent-generated code before merge or deployment.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship for agent architecture, AI-assisted engineering, secure coding, and production readiness; translate emerging agent capabilities into scalable enterprise engineering patterns.
