AI Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and Develop Agentic AI Systems for Cybersecurity
• Architect and implement AI-powered systems that perform autonomous or semi-autonomous cybersecurity tasks, including vulnerability analysis, threat detection, alert triage, log analysis, and secure code review.
• Design multi-agent architectures capable of orchestrating specialized AI agents (e.g., vulnerability scanning agents, log analysis agents, exploit pattern detection agents).
• Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines to enable AI systems to securely query internal knowledge bases, threat intelligence feeds, CVE databases, and security documentation.
• AI-Assisted Secure Code Generation & Review
• Utilize large language models (LLMs) to generate secure software components, scripts, detection logic, and test cases.
• Review and refine AI-generated code to ensure compliance with secure coding standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, secure SDLC practices).
• Implement automated guardrails to detect insecure outputs, prompt injection vulnerabilities, model hallucinations, and data leakage risks.
• Design validation frameworks to benchmark AI-generated security outputs against known vulnerability patterns.
• Human-in-the-Loop AI Governance & Model Optimization
• Design and implement reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) workflows for cybersecurity use cases.
• Develop evaluation metrics for AI accuracy in threat detection, vulnerability identification, and remediation recommendations.
• Continuously refine prompt engineering strategies, model tuning parameters, and system architecture to improve security reliability and precision.
• Implement explainability mechanisms to support auditability and defensibility of AI-driven security decisions.
• Secure System Architecture & Integration
• Develop and maintain APIs and microservices to integrate AI-powered security tools into enterprise platforms.
• Architect scalable and fault-tolerant distributed systems to support real-time security event processing.
• Deploy AI-enabled services within secure cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) using containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Integrate AI systems with SIEM, SOAR, vulnerability management, and endpoint detection platforms.
• Security Engineering & Threat Modeling
• Conduct threat modeling for AI systems to identify adversarial risks, model exploitation vectors, and prompt injection vulnerabilities.
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, encryption, and data governance controls.
• Develop safeguards to prevent misuse of AI systems in exploit development or unintended security bypass scenarios.
• Perform security reviews and penetration testing of AI-driven software components.
• Testing, Validation & Performance Optimization
• Design automated test pipelines for AI-driven security workflows.
• Conduct adversarial testing to evaluate resilience against malicious inputs.
• Monitor system performance metrics (latency, false positive rates, detection accuracy).
• Optimize inference pipelines and distributed systems for reliability and scalability.
• Documentation & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Produce detailed architectural documentation for AI security systems.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity researchers, produc
