Security Engineer (REMOTE)

POSITION SUMMARY

The Security Engineer serves as the technical bridge between the security policy team and development operations, ensuring that security principles are not only defined but effectively implemented. Embedded within development teams, this role writes code, configures systems, and operationalizes security controls across applications, databases, and AI systems. As a key contributor to the organization’s Agentic AI platform transformation, the Security Engineer will design and embed secure-by-design practices, enabling innovation while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and compliance.

THE JOB RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE

• Bridge security policy and technical execution by translating organizational security requirements into practical, deployable solutions across applications, data environments, and AI systems.
• Design, build, and deploy security controls across web applications, data pipelines, APIs, and Agentic AI systems to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
• Implement secure-by-design practices throughout the software development lifecycle, including code-level remediations, configuration hardening, and secure infrastructure deployment.
• Develop automation scripts and infrastructure-as-code to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous compliance, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and environment hardening.
• Implement and operationalize AI-specific security frameworks by building guardrails for agentic models, securing data flows, and integrating AI security tooling into development workflows.
• Perform hands-on technical security assessments, including penetration testing, threat modeling, and code reviews, and directly remediate identified vulnerabilities.
• Collaborate with cloud and DevOps teams to deploy monitoring and detection controls and ensure secure configuration baselines across environments.
• Provide practical security guidance and training to developers and engineers during architecture reviews, sprint planning, and project delivery.
• Continuously evaluate and improve the organization’s security posture through testing, feedback loops, and adoption of emerging best practices for AI and distributed systems.
• Document security architectures, configurations, and implementation patterns to support ongoing operations, compliance, and knowledge sharing.
• Other duties as required
