Roles & Responsibilities

• Conduct security and privacy design reviews of services, applications, APIs, and AI integrations, covering architecture, data flows, trust boundaries, identity, and access controls.
• Develop threat models for critical services and AI agents, documenting attack surfaces, abuse cases, attack paths, recommended mitigations, and residual risks.
• Perform hands-on adversarial testing of third-party AI agents, including prompt-injection testing, unsafe tool-use scenarios, permission validation, excessive-agency testing, and sensitive-data exposure assessment.
• Produce clear, risk-rated, and evidence-backed findings with practical remediation guidance.
• Partner with engineering teams throughout remediation, validation, and retesting to support timely closure of identified risks.
• Create and maintain reusable security-review checklists, threat-model templates, adversarial test cases, and reporting standards.
• Work within the client-defined review queue, priorities, turnaround expectations, and engineering security processes.
• Provide weekly reporting on review throughput, risk themes, remediation progress.
