Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end design and delivery of AI solutions for cyber use cases, from problem framing and data integration to model development, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Build secure LLM/RAG services and ML pipelines that integrate with SIEM/XDR, EDR, SOAR, IAM, ITSM, CMDB, code repos, and cloud telemetry.
• Establish engineering standards for secure AI: prompt security, tool/function calling patterns, input/output validation, PII masking, secrets handling, and deterministic fallbacks.
• Create evaluation harnesses with offline/online metrics, golden datasets, adversarial prompt sets, jailbreak tests, and safety/quality KPIs.
• Partner with platform teams to stand up reusable AI components: LLM gateways, vector stores, feature stores, evaluation/observability, and governance workflows.
• Implement drift and quality monitoring; define SLAs/SLOs; build incident response runbooks for AI-enabled services.
• Collaborate with risk and MRGR-style governance partners to meet documentation, validation, and attestations; maintain model/AT inventories, monitoring plans, and change logs.
