What you need

  • A minimum of 8 years application or product security.
  • A minimum of 3 years leading a team with function-level accountability.
  • Demonstrated AI and ML security ownership at production scale, including model and agent security, prompt-injection and tool-use risk, and data-egress control for third-party model providers, with working fluency in the OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, and AI risk-management standards (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001).
  • Secure SDLC leadership across static, dynamic, and interactive analysis (SAST/DAST/SCA/IAST), dependency and software supply-chain risk, SBOM practice, and remediation delivered through engineering teams.
  • Security architecture and threat-modeling depth, with the standing to review a design and be heard by senior engineers.
  • DevSecOps and pipeline security experience, including scanning as a default in CI/CD, risk-calibrated release gating, and pipeline secret handling.

Nice to have

  • Healthcare or another regulated domain where PHI or comparable data flows through AI systems.
  • Experience standing up an AI golden path, including an approved-model catalog, a governed adoption route, and automated egress controls.
  • Experience building a single security-review intake with risk-based triage and a turnaround commitment.
  • Cryptographic standards ownership, including customer-managed key models.
  • Hands-on familiarity with tools such as Snyk, GitHub Advanced Security, AI security posture management (for example, Wiz), and AI-assisted code scanning.

What you get

  • Medical Insurance
  • Dental Insurance

Worth weighing
