Job Description
Onsite in Albany, NY with a salary range of USD 87,400 to 305,000 per year.
Responsibilities
- Lead AI security architecture and threat modeling for production agentic deployments across complex multi-stakeholder client environments, including LLM systems, multi-agent pipelines, RAG architectures, and MLOps infrastructure; own the full security design from assessment through hardened deployment.
- Deliver hands-on security engineering using agentic coding tools as the primary build environment: develop AI-powered detection systems, automated threat response tooling, security assessment frameworks, and governance automation using Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot in daily delivery practice.
- Own AI-specific threat surface management at program scale: OWASP LLM Top 10 controls, prompt injection hardening, model extraction prevention, adversarial input defenses, and AI supply chain security across concurrent client workstreams.
- Architect and govern AI security controls across the enterprise stack: identity and access for AI systems, data pipeline security, model serving security, and multi-system integration risk across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Lead AI governance framework implementation: EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and model risk management applied to live production systems, not theoretical compliance exercises.
- Shape AI reinvention security strategy for client CISO and CTO: build risk-adjusted investment cases, security architecture roadmaps, and AI governance operating models aligned to commercial outcomes.
- Define and publish reusable security patterns, playbooks, and accelerators that scale across multiple client engagements and grow the Secure AI practice.
- Lead architecture design sessions, threat modeling workshops, and code-with sessions with client engineering and security leadership teams.
Requirements
- Minimum of 8 years of engineering experience in production environments with cybersecurity depth in at least one area: AppSec, SecOps / detection engineering, cloud security, IAM, offensive security / penetration testing, or GRC.
- Minimum 1 year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production environments; theoretical familiarity does not qualify.
- Minimum 6 years of demonstrated end-to-end security delivery ownership in a client-embedded or production environment; internal advisory or compliance-only roles do not qualify.
- Minimum 6 years working with cloud platform security fundamentals across at least one provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP): IAM, network security, secrets management, and AI service security configurations.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience (minimum 12 years); if holding an Associate’s Degree, a minimum of 6 years of work experience.
