• Design and prototype LLM-driven applications to automate security analysis, incident response, and governance tasks, ensuring explainability and accuracy.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify security needs and deliver advanced AI-enabled solutions that address those needs effectively.
• Contribute to defining the security automation and AI roadmap, balancing near-term and long-term business impact with technical feasibility and scalability.
• Own and maintain the operational health of automation and AI-driven systems, ensuring they meet reliability and performance requirements (SLOs and KPIs).
• Support on-call operations for tools, pipelines, and AI models owned by the team.
• Document and share knowledge through clear technical documentation of processes, procedures, AI models, and orchestration systems.
• Stay up-to-date on emerging trends in security automation, data orchestration, and AI/LLMs—and apply them to Twilio\'s security operations for continuous innovation.

• Solid understanding of software security principles, secure coding practices, and security automation
• Experience with data orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) to manage and scale automation pipelines
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD systems (BuildKite or similar), and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Docker)
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to iterate quickly on feedback and work across security and engineering teams
• Experience with Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) technologies and practices, with a focus on scaling automated incident response
• Proven ability to design and implement security automation frameworks that enable rapid delivery of reliable, reusable, and scalable automated solutions
• Strong interest in or hands-on experience with building and applying AI/ML models (including LLMs) to automate complex workflows in cybersecurity, compliance, or infrastructure operations
