• Integrate shift-left security practices across the development lifecycle, from early design through production.
• Triage and drive remediation of findings from penetration tests, red team exercises, and bug bounty programs.
• Identify and address evolving security needs across AI/ML features, agent-based systems, and AI models and pipelines.

• Knowledge of evolving security risks affecting AI/ML products, agent-based systems, AI models and pipelines.
• Demonstrated adversarial mindset, with the ability to develop threat models and partner with engineering teams to reduce security risk.
• Experience securing multi-cloud platforms and multi-tenant SaaS systems, including Kubernetes- and Docker-based environments.
• Practical experience performing manual and tool-assisted secure code reviews across languages such as Java, JavaScript, Python, or similar.
• Hands-on experience conducting security assessments using common tools such as Burp Suite, Nessus, Metasploit, and Nmap.
• At least 3-5 years of experience in application, product, or security engineering, or a related technical security role.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly convey security risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience exploiting AI/ML and GenAI security risks, including model poisoning, RAG data leakage, and runtime attack vectors.
• Experience supporting offensive security programs, including bug bounties, red teaming, and penetration testing.
• External presentations and/or development of open-source security projects or tools.
