Responsibilities

Allocate dedicated capacity to agent builds — contributing directly to the development of AI agents that support security programs, including certifications, risk, and compliance.
Build and maintain infrastructure to support agent workflows, including retrieval, context delivery, and agent-to-agent coordination patterns.
Partner with team members to translate business needs into data-driven, agent-ready solutions that reduce manual effort and improve decision velocity.
Architect and implement MCP pattern integrations that enable security agents to interact with data systems, tools, and APIs in a structured, scalable way.
Own the design, deployment, and maintenance of ETL and agentic data pipelines to ingest, transform, and serve data from multiple sources into our data lakehouse and downstream agent consumers.
Ensure data security, privacy, and governance are implemented across all pipelines and agent-accessible data surfaces.
Continuously monitor, optimize, and resolve issues with data infrastructure, pipelines, and agents for efficiency, accuracy, speed, and scalability in support of real-time agent workloads.
Mentor other engineers on data engineering, MCP patterns, and agent-native design principles.
