Cybersecurity AI Forward Deployed Engineer - Atlanta

Salary: $54,400 - 235,100 per year Requirements:

• We need at least 3 years of engineering experience in production environments, with depth in one cybersecurity area such as AppSec, SecOps or detection engineering, cloud security, IAM, offensive security or penetration testing, or GRC.
• We require at least 1 year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production setting; theoretical familiarity is not enough.
• We need at least 3 years of experience with cloud security fundamentals on at least one platform, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, including IAM, network security, secrets management, and AI service security configurations.
• We require a bachelors degree or equivalent experience, defined as at least 12 years of work experience.
• If you hold an associates degree, we require at least 6 years of work experience.
• We need proven ability to communicate security risk in business language and translate threat exposure into investment rationale that a CISO or CFO would act on.

• We support AI security architecture and threat modeling for production agentic deployments across complex, multi-stakeholder environments, covering LLM systems, multi-agent pipelines, RAG architectures, and MLOps infrastructure.
• We deliver hands-on security engineering using agentic coding tools as our primary build environment, creating AI-powered detection systems, automated threat response tooling, security assessment frameworks, and governance automation.
• We manage AI-specific threat surfaces at programme scale, including OWASP LLM Top 10 controls, prompt injection hardening, model extraction prevention, adversarial input defenses, and AI supply chain security.
• We architect and govern AI security controls across the enterprise stack, including identity and access for AI systems, data pipeline security, model serving security, and multi-system integration risk across cloud platforms.
• We help implement AI governance frameworks such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and model risk management in live production environments.
• We shape AI reinvention security strategy for client CISO and CTO stakeholders by building risk-adjusted investment cases, security architecture roadmaps, and AI governance operating models.
• We define and publish reusable security patterns, playbooks, and accelerators that can scale across multiple client engagements and support the growth of the Secure AI practice.
• We contribute to architecture design sessions, threat modeling workshops, and code-with sessions with client engineering and security leadership teams.
