About the role

Role focusing on integrating security into the software development lifecycle for an AWS-based AI platform, leading threat modeling, security architecture reviews, and building secure tooling and practices across CI/CD. Reports to the Director of Security Engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Lead threat modeling and security architecture reviews with engineering teams by translating security risks into concrete development actions, with particular focus on AI-powered features (LLM integrations, agentic workflows, MCP connectors).
  • Architect, build, and maintain security tooling and integrations that make secure development the default in our CI/CD pipelines.
  • Design and deploy automated security testing to identify vulnerabilities early in the development process.
  • Serve as a hands-on technical contributor during security incidents by analyzing application-level behavior and enhancing response processes.
  • Coach developers on secure coding, security architecture, and threat modeling for AI-native systems.
  • Define and track key security posture metrics, building dashboards or reports to visualize security coverage and vulnerability trends.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in application security engineering roles, ideally securing AWS or comparable cloud-native environments with modern development practices.
  • Experience securing AI/ML-powered systems, or a clear ability to ramp fast on prompt injection, model supply chain, and agentic-workflow risks.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript. You write and read production code, not just review it.
  • Expertise in web application security including OWASP Top 10, authentication/authorization, cryptography, and secure API design, including securing modern architectures (microservices, containers, cloud-native).
  • Hands-on experience threat modeling and running security architecture reviews.
  • Proven ability to influence and collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, DevOps, and product teams, with strong written communication.
