Build and deliver customer-facing demos, workshops, proofs of concept, and reference architectures for AI-enabled security workflows.
Scope pilots with clear success criteria, data requirements, integrations, evaluation methods, safety boundaries, and human approval points.
Advise customers on safe implementation patterns, including tool/function calling, structured outputs, sandboxing, data handling, guardrails, auditability, and approval-gated side effects.
Translate between executive buyers and hands-on security practitioners, helping each audience understand value, risk, and practical next steps.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Have deep practitioner credibility across cybersecurity domains such as application security, cloud security, identity, vulnerability management, secure SDLC, incident response, detection engineering, or attacker tradecraft.
Have worked in a customer-facing, advisory, consulting, solutions engineering, security architecture, or technical field role.
Can build credible demos or prototypes using APIs, Codex, agents, scripts, CLIs, GitHub workflows, CI/CD systems, logs, tickets, scanners, or other common security tooling.
Understand how to design AI workflows with retrieval, structured outputs, tool use, evals, guardrails, telemetry, and human-in-the-loop review.
Are comfortable scoping pilots from ambiguous customer pain, including success metrics, required data, workflow integrations, evaluation criteria, deployment assumptions, and decision gates.
Communicate clearly with both CISOs and hands-on practitioners.
Have strong evidence-first judgment: you validate findings, separate true positives from noise, document assumptions, and avoid overstating claims.
Are excited to build leverage for the broader field by turning one-off customer work into repeatable assets and product feedback loops.
