• Leading the design of a multi-layered defense strategy, you protect against jailbreaks, prompt injection, data exfiltration, and tool misuse through advanced input/output scanners, safety filters, and autonomous agents.
• You establish and continuously improve the security lifecycle for LLMs/Agents: threat modeling, attack simulations, red teaming, LLM-specific pentests, automated security assessments, and incident response frameworks.
• Acting as a trusted advisor, you collaborate with legal, compliance, and data protection teams to shape governance and regulatory alignment for AI security.
• You drive operational excellence: define KPIs, implement canary rollouts, optimize cost/performance, scale to additional data sources, and ensure 24/7 reliability.
• Mentoring and guiding an agile team of engineers and data scientists, you foster best practices in architecture, security, and platform engineering.
• Ensuring enterprise-grade quality, you oversee platform services in terms of architecture, code, IT security, compliance, documentation, and operational KPIs.

• Proven leadership in security lifecycle and compliance: threat modeling, red teaming, LLM-specific pentests, automated security assessments in CI/CD, telemetry, alerting, and incident response.
• Strong engineering background with architectural decision-making: Python, C# or TypeScript, REST and event-driven systems, observability practices, and experience with agile methods.
