Ideal candidates have a background in financial services or regulated industries, where they can apply their expertise in AI governance and model risk management.

What you'll do

  • Design and build enterprise-scale intelligent automation systems using agentic AI.
  • Ensure secure handling of model inputs/outputs to prevent prompt injection attacks.
  • Develop resilient AI systems with strong observability and tracing capabilities.
  • Lead cross-functional teams in designing agent orchestration patterns and pipelines.
  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear roadmaps for executive communication.
  • Drive alignment between security, legal, compliance, product, and engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Deep hands-on experience in building and deploying agentic AI systems including LLM APIs and multi-agent architectures.
  • Expertise in AI security, threat modeling, prompt injection defense, and zero-trust principles for secure system handling.
  • Solid foundation in software engineering with proficiency in Python, microservices, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
  • Proven ability to design resilient AI systems with strong observability and tracing capabilities for non-deterministic failure modes.
  • Demonstrated cross-functional leadership experience across engineering, security, product, and operations teams.
  • Strong communication skills to translate complex technical concepts into clear roadmaps and executive-level presentations.
