• Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support cybersecurity architecture workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
• Ability to assess and validate AI-assisted security recommendations before adoption, escalating uncertainty and ensuring outcomes align to security, resiliency, and auditability expectations.
• Working knowledge of cybersecurity risk management concepts: threat, vulnerability, exposure, likelihood/impact, control design vs. operating effectiveness, residual risk, risk appetite/limits.
• Deep expertise in one or more programming language(s), software(s), and/or applications.
• Proficient across SDLC execution, including automation/continuous delivery practices and agile methodologies such as continuous integration/delivery, application resiliency, and security.
• Demonstrated proficiency in software applications and technical processes within a technical discipline (e.g., public cloud, AI/ML, mobile, etc.), including practical cloud-native experience.
• Ability to evaluate current and emerging technologies to recommend the best solutions for the future state architecture.
• Experience effectively communicating with senior business leaders

Responsibilities

• Leverages enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate cybersecurity architecture analysis and decisioning (e.g., risk identification and documentation), validating outputs and handling data according to sensitivity and security requirements.

• Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall cybersecurity of software applications and systems
• Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of cybersecurity designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and cybersecurity architecture
• Leads communities of practice to drive awareness and use of new and leading-edge cybersecurity technologies
• Drives reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted security validation within SDLC/toolchain routines, improving control testing and remediation quality with traceability/auditability and resiliency expectations.
• Conduct risk analysis on the key drivers behind the metrics (e.g., exposure, likelihood, impact, control gaps, and threat trends), including root-cause analysis and explanations.
• Develop analytics tools and products such as dashboards, metric pipelines, reporting applications, and self-service datasets—using modern engineering practices and agentic coding approaches to translate cybersecurity risk data into decision-ready insights for executives (BISO organizations, CIO/CTO leaders, business stakeholders, and risk committees).
• Design data models and pipelines that integrate multiple sources (security tooling, GRC platforms, asset inventories/CMDB, IAM, ticketing systems, cloud logs, and findings repositories), with strong controls for data quality, lineage, and repeatability.
• Establish and run an analytics operating cadence (weekly, monthly, and quarterly) to support risk reviews, including metric definitions, refresh schedules, exception management, and stakeholder sign-offs.
• Automate insight generation where feasible (anomaly detection, threshold-based alerts, auto-generated narratives, and drill-down workflows) to reduce manual reporting effort.
