  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead, or leading an engineering team.

  • Experience with security in service-oriented architectures/microservices and web services.

Responsibilities

  • Drive security strategy for AI applications.
  • Create, update, and maintain threat models for various software projects.

  • Develop AI security automation tools.
  • Conduct AI security training and outreach for internal development teams.
  • Provide AI security architecture and design guidance.
  • Independently solve AI security problems that require novel methods or approaches.
  • Influence team and partner processes, priorities, and choices to improve outcomes.
