TL;DR · Principal Associate, Cyber Risk & Analysis

The Principal Associate, Cyber Risk & Analysis joins the Cyber organization to build, operate, and evolve tooling that maintains a current threat landscape for every enrolled asset in the enterprise portfolio. This role involves designing and implementing systems to produce threat intelligence rather than just consuming it. Key responsibilities include building a multi-agent AI profiling platform, maintaining persistent records of threat profiles, and developing portal and API capabilities for asset search and compliance gap exports. The position requires engineering depth in writing code and configuring pipelines, AI/ML fluency in multi-agent orchestration and prompt engineering, and threat intelligence expertise. Candidates should possess experience with Databricks, Spark, cloud-native environments like AWS, GCP, or Azure, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, and PCI DSS.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and maintain a multi-agent AI profiling platform including agent logic and prompt pipelines.
  • Maintain a persistent, queryable record of historical threat profiles while ensuring data integrity and audit compliance.
  • Build and evolve portal and API capabilities for asset search, compliance gap exports, and system integrations.
  • Monitor the operational health of coverage commitments and identify gaps to ensure SLA compliance.
  • Develop production-quality tooling and code to deploy security features at an enterprise scale.
  • Operate AI agent workflows including output validation and confidence-based QA gating.
  • Conduct human-in-the-loop reviews of platform and domain-level profiles using threat intelligence expertise.

What we're looking for

  • High School Diploma, GED, or equivalent certification.
  • At least 3 years of experience in cybersecurity or information technology.
  • At least 2 years of experience in a hands-on security engineering, threat analysis, or security tooling role.
  • At least 2 years of experience building or operating automated security assessment or threat intelligence pipelines.
  • Bachelor's degree (preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience in application security, cloud security, and/or threat intelligence engineering (preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience designing or operating AI/ML pipelines or multi-agent systems in a security context (preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience with Databricks, Spark, or similar for security analytics (preferred).
