- Partner with Cloud Security to establish and validate guardrails in AWS and Azure for AI workloads.
- Develop scripts, automation, and tooling (primarily Python) to integrate AI security controls and automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows.
- Document secure architecture patterns, anti-patterns, and reference materials for model deployment and inference, and provide remediation guidance to engineering teams.
- Research, test, and pilot AI security tools and utilities aligned to the NIST AI RMF and related standards.
- Transition matured AI security monitoring to security operations teams.
