• Architect live interactive dashboards that consolidate decentralized security data and automate executive compliance reporting
• Implement secure AI pipelines using advanced RAG, chunking, and vector storage for complex, unstructured data parsing
• Deploy agentic workflows, evaluation frameworks, and guardrails to automate vendor risk reviews while mitigating LLM hallucinations

• Solid understanding of standard compliance frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA
• Proficiency in Python for developing AI/ML pipelines, API integrations, and continuous evidence-collection models
• Critical experiences navigating highly regulated compliance environments and securing cloud-native data pipelines

• Required Technical Skills: Must have at least 3 years of experience with:
