Summary

A production-focused cybersecurity engineer embedded within client organizations to secure AI systems at scale. The role centers on threat modeling and hardening agentic AI deployments (LLMs, multi-agent pipelines, RAG, MLOps), using AI co-authoring tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as the primary development method rather than optional acceleration. Responsibilities span AI-specific threat surface management (OWASP LLM Top 10, prompt injection, model extraction), cloud security architecture across AWS/Azure/GCP, governance framework implementation (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF), and delivery of reusable security patterns across multiple engagements. Requires 3+ years of production cybersecurity depth (AppSec, SecOps, cloud security, IAM, or offensive security) and 1+ year of hands-on agentic AI deployment experience.
