AI Engineering Safety Lead - Vice President
About The Position
This role leads the engineering design and scale‑out of AI‑enabled developer workflows with embedded safety, security, and quality controls. It is accountable for end‑to‑end AI engineering safety outcomes, including Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) engagement, definition of bank‑wide safety and agentic coding standards, and the security analysis and mitigations that govern tool introduction at scale. The role owns critical‑path security assessments and embeds governance and control requirements directly into delivery workflows and operating processes. It establishes continuous compliance, audit‑ready evidence, clear accountability, and strong observability through logging, metrics, dashboards, escalation paths, and incident playbooks. The role partners with senior stakeholders to balance innovation with stability, translating engineering and business needs into scalable solutions while tracking impact through data‑driven KPIs across delivery speed, quality, risk, and developer experience.
Requirements
- Strong engineering background with ability to engage hands-on when needed (architecture, code reviews, prototypes, production readiness)
- Proven experience leading delivery of complex engineering initiatives from prototype to scaled adoption across multiple teams/domains
- Experience driving adoption and standardization across teams (platform rollouts, workflow change, practice uplift)
- Experience leading outcomes with information security stakeholders and translating security requirements into enforceable engineering controls and standards.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across engineering leadership and control partners
- Experience working within enterprise constraints (security, compliance, risk), including governance and audit expectations.
- Ability to balance innovation with stability, safety, and quality, using clear boundaries and measurable criteria
Nice To Haves
- Track record of delivering measurable outcomes using telemetry and evidence (quality, vulnerabilities, reliability, adoption, DevEx)
- Strong interest in modern tools, with demonstrated experimentation and continuous learning
- Comfort operating with direct access to telemetry and analysis capabilities to drive evidence-based decisions on approvals, guardrails, and scaling
Responsibilities
- Lead design and build of AI-enabled developer workflows and platform capabilities, hands-on where needed
- Own end-to-end delivery from prototype and controlled evaluation to production rollout and scaled adoption across teams
- Drive consistent adoption and standardization of engineering practices across teams (patterns, templates, reusable components, runbooks)
- Ensure solutions are secure, safe, reliable, observable, and production-ready
- Own critical-path deliveries for security assessment of tools under evaluation, including analysis of security concerns and mitigation strategies that determine what and how we introduce tools at scale
- Lead CISO/ Chief Security Office (CSO) engagement from the engineering side, driving decisions and outcomes and translating security requirements into practical, enforceable engineering guardrails
- Lead bank-wide enablement of AI security standards as they apply to AI-enabled software engineering
- Lead bank-wide enablement of agentic coding standards (safe autonomy patterns, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, approvals, and operational safeguards)
- Own critical-path deliveries for security assessment of tools under evaluation, including analysis of security concerns and mitigation strategies that determine what and how we introduce tools at scale
Benefits
- A diverse and inclusive environment that embraces change, innovation, and collaboration
- A hybrid working model, allowing for in-office / work from home flexibility, generous vacation, personal and volunteer days
- Employee Resource Groups support an inclusive workplace for everyone and promote community engagement
