The role also includes coaching and mentoring junior engineers, driving automation‑first security practices, and delivering highly scalable AI security solutions across the enterprise

Key Accountabilities

• Develop and maintain security and resilience for enterprise‑grade AI and Generative AI services, supporting business‑critical use cases at scale.
• Secure Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI systems, and multi‑agent workflows, including inference services, fine‑tuning pipelines, and runtime execution environments.
• Implement security controls for Model Context Protocol (MCP) and similar agent integration patterns, protecting tool invocation, context exchange, agent‑to‑agent communication, and external data access.
• Develop and manage AI platform security capabilities across public cloud AI services, self‑hosted models, and third‑party AI providers.
• Build automated security guardrails using Python and policy‑as‑code to enforce access control, data protection, model usage limits, and runtime monitoring.
• Partner closely with AI Platform, Cloud Platform, DevOps, Software Engineering, and Compliance teams to embed security into the AI development lifecycle (AI‑SDLC).
• Perform threat modeling and risk assessments for AI architectures, including RAG pipelines, vector databases, agent frameworks, and model supply chains.
