About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define reference architecture, technical standards, and reusable primitives for AI enablement services, the Security Operations Data Plane, and ecosystem integrations.
Establish standards for code quality, test-driven development, availability, and secure software engineering practices.
Engineer guardrails for AI-assisted and agentic workflows (bounded actions, least privilege, evidence logging, observability, auditability) and ensure secure-by-default configurations.
Ensure ingestion, transformation, schema discipline, enrichment, and analytics readiness are engineered for reliability, performance, and defensible operations.
When tooling operation is required, define integration contracts (APIs, schemas, telemetry, access controls), automate configuration, and ensure tooling adheres to ecosystem standards and monitoring.
Ensure platform services and operated tooling have runbooks, health signals, and repeatable remediation patterns.
Coach engineers, provide technical oversight, and serve as escalation point for complex design decisions and cross-product tradeoffs.

Requirements

What you’ll need
