Agentic AI Security Engineer

Title: Agentic AI Security Engineer

Location: 100% Remote (work EST hours)

Overview

This role focuses on securing non-human and agentic identities within AI ecosystems. The individual will partner closely with a senior technical lead focused on agentic security and work alongside the broader IAM organization. The emphasis is heavily on engineering and implementation of security controls, particularly around access boundaries, permissions, cloud IAM controls, and reducing blast radius associated with AI agents and non-human identities.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement controls around agentic and non-human identities
• Develop detective and preventative controls for risky or unmanaged identities
• Help define security boundaries for AI agents and automated workflows
• Partner with IAM teams to align enterprise identity controls with AI security initiatives
• Support implementation of cloud IAM policies, role tagging, ABAC, RBAC, and SCP strategies
• Reduce excessive privilege exposure in AI-enabled environments
• Help operationalize security enforcement mechanisms tied to AI governance policies
• Work closely with internal security technical leads on architecture and implementation

Skills & Experience

• Strong IAM engineering background
• Experience with non-human identities, service accounts, machine identities, or workload identities
• Deep understanding of AWS IAM and cloud-native identity controls
• Familiarity with ABAC, RBAC, SCPs, permissions boundaries, and identity governance
• Exposure to AI security or agentic identity concepts strongly preferred
• Hands-on engineering mindset rather than pure GRC or policy experience
• Understanding of privilege escalation risks and blast radius reduction strategies
• Ability to implement security controls programmatically and operationally

Main Need

• The team needs an engineer who understands how identity and access concepts evolve in AI and agentic environments and can help implement scalable security controls around non-human identities.
• Security organization already has strong IAM support internally
• Biggest gap is AI-specific identity and agentic security expertise
• Team is defining security models for emerging AI workflows
• Position will work closely with a senior technical lead already focused on agentic identity security
• Organization is still early in maturity around AI identity governance and enforcement
