At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

Your role in the team

This role sits within Allstate Cyber Operations & Platforms as part of a set of Digital Product Teams responsible for building and operating a cohesive, scalable Security Operations platform ecosystem. This ecosystem spans:

Agentic Cyber Platforms (ACP): Operationalizing AI as a core cyber capability through shared platforms, orchestration patterns, and governance-by-design.

Security Data & Observability (SD&O): Engineering and managing the Security Operations Data Plane, enabling high-fidelity telemetry, analytics, and AI-ready data.

Tooling & Platform (T&P): Ensuring security tooling is integrated, governed, and aligned as part of a unified platform rather than disconnected solutions.

Together, these capabilities enable secure, scalable, and intelligence-driven cyber operations by design.

The Platform Consultant defines and drivesarchitecture patterns, integration standards, and ecosystem strategyacross AI platforms, security data, and tooling. This role ensures the environment evolves as acoherent, reusable, and governed platform ecosystem, enabling safe, scalable adoption through well-defined “paved roads.”

You will translate operational intent intoenterprise-scale platform design, ensuring interoperability between AI systems, data platforms, and tooling while minimizing fragmentation and maximizing reuse.

Key Responsibilities

Define architecture, design patterns, and integration standards across AI, data, and tooling.

Establish APIs, data models, security controls, and observability requirements.

Data & AI Enablement

Ensure high-quality, structured data for AI (lineage, consistency, readiness).

Set standards for safe AI use (explainability, auditability, controlled actions).

Tooling & Integration

Design unified integration across tools and platforms.

Ensure tools produce consistent, high-quality, AI-ready data.

Paved Roads & Adoption

Build scalable, reusable solutions as the default (“paved roads”).

Drive standardization, reduce duplication, andguideadoption.

Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, andgovernance-driven.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Partner across teams (ACP, SD&O, T&P) for platform alignment.

Influence teams to drive simplification, reuse, and consistency.
