ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Lead AI Engineer to design and lead GenAI and agentic workflows that automate cloud security policies and remediation.

The mandatory requirements are AI architecture and strategy experience, 6+ years in software engineering on public cloud, 2+ years building agentic AI with RAG and vector databases, technical leadership, and an upper-intermediate English level.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• AI Architecture & Strategy: architect Generative AI workflows (utilizing RAG, vector databases, and LLM APIs) to automate the creation of configuration requirements, Rego policies, and Terraform modules for new cloud services (e.g., AWS S3).
• Cloud Security Automation: oversee the development of AI-enabled drift detection, continuous discovery, and gap analysis capabilities to accelerate response and remediation activities.
• Policy & Infrastructure as Code (IaC): accelerate the generation and validation of compliant Terraform modules, Rego policies (for Wiz Custom Configuration Rules), and Regula test cases for CI/CD pipelines.
• Technical Leadership: act as the technical lead for the Cloud Security Tooling team’s AI enablement initiatives, designing service architecture, and driving extensible frameworks.

MUST HAVES

• 6+ years of software engineering experience developing applications and services hosted on public cloud infrastructure.
• 2+ years of experience with cloud infrastructure deployment pipelines and infrastructure as code (IaC).
• 2+ years of experience developing agentic models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and vector databases.
• Proven capability in technical leadership in a global organization, developing technology strategy and driving technology programs.
• Proven capability to lead and mentor engineers in a distributed, asynchronous, follow-the-sun model.

NICE TO HAVES

• Hands-on experience with modern AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph).
• Hands-on experience writing Rego policies (Open Policy Agent) or Regula test cases.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform.
• Familiarity with cloud-native security services in Amazon Web Services, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
• Familiarity with PagerDuty, Atlassian Suite, and ServiceNow.

PERKS AND BENEFITS

• Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
• Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
• Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
