In this role, you will partner with business stakeholders and technology partners to assess and maintain the security of AI tooling, ensuring they meet or exceed Salesforce security requirements when deploying AI at scale. You will identify emerging threats, design new processes balancing security and business agility, and share your expertise through internal events, conferences, and published research.

What You\'ll Actually Be Doing

• Lead in-depth and high-quality security assessments of emerging technology (AI tooling, agentic platforms, etc.), including architecture and design reviews, code reviews, and penetration tests.
• Provide guidance to team members and prospective suppliers on Salesforce security requirements, including remediation advice and potential feature enhancements.
• Threat model common attacker methods to develop appropriate mitigation techniques, balancing security requirements with functional requirements.
• Develop automated processes and support tooling improvements to identify and solve problems at scale.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and business partners to drive solutions through a secure development lifecycle. Ideally would have development background.
• Define and develop technical security standards and guidelines with business partners.
• Research new technologies, emerging threats, and vulnerabilities for strategic planning and process improvements.
• Use writing and presentation skills to communicate at all levels in the organization, concisely and clearly to partners from varied backgrounds, including non-technical audiences.

You're Our Person If

• 5+ years of experience in a security role (Senior)
• 8+ years of experience in a security role (Lead)
• Experience with large language models (LLMs) and agentic systems — building, evaluating, or securing them
• Familiarity with AI security attack surfaces including prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege escalation in agents, and model supply chain risks
• Excellent interpersonal, collaboration, critical-thinking, and communication skills
• A related technical degree required

Even Better If

• Understanding of RAG architectures, classifier models, and how retrieval and generation pipelines work
• Familiarity with security frameworks and certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, and MITRE ATT&CK
• Relevant BA/BS degree and/or certifications such as CRISC, CISSP, CCIE, CISM, CISA, or CCSK
• Experience defining and communicating security remediation tasks to project and data owners
