Job Description
Role Overview
- The Sr. Automation Engineer/
Senior Agentic AI Security Engineer serves as a senior technical authority
responsible for designing, building, and governing enterprise-scale
intelligent automation systems centered on agentic artificial intelligence.
- This
role sits at the intersection of advanced AI engineering, security
architecture, and organizational strategy — driving the adoption of
autonomous agent frameworks across complex, multi-team environments.
- The
position demands a practitioner who can operate at both the deep
technical layer and the executive advisory level, translating emerging AI
capabilities into resilient, production-grade systems that meet the most
rigorous security and compliance standards.
Your responsibilities will be:
- Deep hands-on experience building and deploying
agentic AI systems, including LLM APIs, RAG, prompt engineering, and
multi-agent architectures
- Strong security mindset with expertise in AI threat
modeling, prompt injection defense, zero-trust principles, and secure
handling of model inputs/outputs
- Solid software engineering foundation (Python +
compiled language) with experience in microservices, CI/CD, and
infrastructure-as-code
- Ability to design resilient AI systems with strong
observability, tracing, and understanding of non-deterministic failure
modes
- Proven ability to operate cross-functionally and lead
without authority across engineering, security, product, and operations
- Capable of translating complex technical concepts into clear roadmaps, architecture decisions, and executive-level communication
The ideal candidate has
- Proven track record building production-grade agentic
AI systems that operate reliably at scale
- Hands-on experience designing agent orchestration
patterns, debugging non-deterministic failures, and delivering observable,
auditable AI pipelines in regulated environments
- Strong applied security expertise, including
implementing defenses against prompt injection, jailbreaking, and tool
misuse, with experience in red-teaming or penetration testing AI systems
- Demonstrated ability to drive alignment across
security, legal, compliance, product, and engineering, turning competing
priorities into practical, well-documented outcomes
- Comfortable presenting architectural trade-offs and
risk decisions to senior leadership in high-stakes environments
- Experience in financial services or regulated industries, with exposure to AI governance, model risk management, or internal AI policy development preferred
