The engineer will partner with Information Security, Technology, Cloud, and Development teams to test new capabilities and move successful use cases into secure, controlled operational use.\nAbout The Clearing House: The Clearing House Payments Company L.L.C. is a bank-owned industry utility that shapes the payments landscape and provides infrastructure for safe, reliable, and efficient payments. We see an economy where everyone is connected and a future where modern payments make life easier. The Clearing House operates four payment systems: a high-value wire-transfer system (the CHIPS® network), the country’s first and largest instant payments system (the RTP® network), an automated clearinghouse network (the EPN® network), and a check image exchange network (the Image Exchange Network). TCH also operates a bank account number tokenization service, runs a payments association known as the TCH Payments Authority, and maintains the rules for private-sector check image exchange through its ECCHO® business line.\nKey Responsibilities\nAI Engineering & Integration\nBuild and maintain AI harnesses and workflows that connect advanced AI models with security tools, data, source code, and cloud environments.\nDevelop integrations using APIs, Python, and other automation technologies to incorporate AI into existing security processes.\nBuild workflows that allow AI models to securely interact with approved tools and data while maintaining appropriate access controls and human oversight.\nTest and evaluate new AI models, tools, and techniques for potential cybersecurity applications.\nHelp transition successful AI prototypes into repeatable and supportable operational capabilities.\nSecurity Automation & Vulnerability Management\nDevelop AI-enabled workflows to identify, analyze, validate, prioritize, and support remediation of security vulnerabilities.\nUse AI to analyze infrastructure, application code, configurations, and security findings for potential vulnerabilities and attack paths.\nDevelop automation to accelerate vulnerability validation and remediation while maintaining appropriate human review.\nSupport repeated and continuous analysis of systems and code rather than relying solely on point-in-time security assessments.\nHelp measure improvements in vulnerability coverage, remediation speed, and operational efficiency.\nThreat Analysis & Security Operations\nDevelop AI-assisted capabilities supporting threat hunting, alert investigation, threat modeling, and security analysis.\nIntegrate AI capabilities with security telemetry and existing security platforms to help analysts investigate and understand security events.\nWork with security teams to identify manual or repetitive activities that can be safely automated or augmented using AI.\nDevelop testing and validation processes to measure the accuracy and effectiveness of AI-generated security findings.\nCloud, Development & DevSecOps Integration\nSupport integration of AI-enabled security capabilities into AWS environments and software development workflows.\nWork with Development and DevSecOps teams to incorporate AI-assisted security analysis into CI/CD pipelines.\nBuild integrations with source code repositories, vulnerability management platforms, cloud security tools, and other approved enterprise technologies.\nSupport secure deployment and operation of AI capabilities within controlled enterprise environments.\nAI Security & Governance\nImplement technical controls supporting secure AI use, including access controls, logging, data protection, tool permissions, testing, and validation.\nMaintain documentation of AI workflows, integrations, architectures, and operating procedures.\nSupport security, risk, audit, and governance reviews of AI-enabled capabilities.\nHelp ensure AI implementations operate within established enterprise security and AI governance requirements.\nQualifications Required\n1-5 years of experience in software engineering, cybersecurity engineering, cloud engineering, DevSecOps, AI/ML engineering, or a related technical field.\nHands-on programming or automation experience, preferably using Python.\nExperience working with APIs and integrating different technology platforms and data sources.\nExperience with cloud environments, preferably AWS.\nWorking knowledge of cybersecurity concepts, including vulnerabilities, access controls, secure development, logging, and security monitoring.\nStrong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to independently prototype and test new technical solutions.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nPreferred\nHands-on experience with large language models (LLMs), AI agents, model APIs, or AI orchestration/harness technologies.\nExperience with platforms such as Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI models, or comparable enterprise AI platforms.\nFamiliarity with agentic workflows, tool/function calling, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and model evaluation.\nExperience with security technologies such as vulnerability management platforms, SIEM/XDR, endpoint security, application security tools, or cloud security platforms.\nExperience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, Jenkins or similar automation platforms, containers, and infrastructure-as-code.\nFamiliarity with secure coding, vulnerability analysis, threat modeling, or attack-path analysis.\nFamiliarity with NIST and other cybersecurity or AI risk management frameworks.\nRole Characteristics\nIndividual contributor role with no people management responsibilities.\nHands-on engineering role with an expectation to build, test, and operate AI-enabled security capabilities.\nCombines AI/software engineering with practical cybersecurity problem solving.\nComfortable experimenting with emerging technologies while working within established security and governance controls.\nOperates with defined objectives and moderate autonomy.\nWorks closely across Information Security, Cloud, Infrastructure, and Application Development teams.\nPhysical Demands and Work Environment: The working
