Additional Details for Role

Role Title

AI Security Architecture /Lead

Lead the end-to-end architecture and technical direction for the S&P Agentic AI Cybersecurity Flywheel across control plane, orchestration, processing, remediation sandbox, platform, and security domains.

• Define TypeScript/Vue/React control-plane architecture for real-time streams, dependency graphs, approval workflows, code diffs, and executive reporting.
• Define orchestration and connector patterns using Python, FastAPI, Go, LangGraph/custom agent loops, MCP, structured tool calling, LLM gateways, and Kafka/RabbitMQ/Redis.
• Provide credible design oversight for the Rust/Tokio processing engine, including bounded concurrency, backpressure, high-throughput parsing, state machines, dependency correlation, and agent-state validation.
• Define secure remediation execution using Rust, WebAssembly/Wasmtime, Firecracker or Kata microVMs, KVM, namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, OCI/containerd, default-deny egress, resource limits, and disposable environments.
• Lead integration architecture for SIEM, Wiz, Tenable/Qualys, Checkmarx, GitHub, Jira/ServiceNow, CI/CD, IAM, and cloud platforms.
• Establish AI security and governance controls covering prompt injection, least-privilege tools, data protection, adversarial testing, model evaluation, human approval, traceability, and production readiness.
• Lead design reviews, architectural decisions, security patterns, scalability planning, technical risk management, and alignment across delivery pods.

Candidate baseline

shipped distributed systems across multiple languages, strong security architecture, and ability to identify connector, processing, sandbox-capacity, and approval-backlog failure modes under load.
