Responsibilities

Implement and operate AI security posture management (AISPM/DSPM) across model and inference infrastructure; identify misconfigurations, drift, and risk in AI workloads and drive remediation.
Design, build, and run model validation and evaluation harnesses to test AI models and pipelines for robustness, data leakage, and unexpected behavior before and after deployment.
Build and maintain inference-layer guardrails and controls (input/output filtering, rate and access controls) for GenAI and agentic applications.
Define and enforce PHI/PII and data-protection controls, and identity/access controls (least-privilege, agent-to-agent authentication) for AI systems.
Partner with Cloud Security to establish and validate guardrails in AWS and Azure for AI workloads.
Develop scripts, automation, and tooling (primarily Python) to integrate AI security controls and automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows.
Document secure architecture patterns, anti-patterns, and reference materials for model deployment and inference, and provide remediation guidance to engineering teams.
Research, test, and pilot AI security tools and utilities aligned to the NIST AI RMF and related standards.
Transition matured AI security monitoring to security operations teams.
