Agentic Detection & Response Engineering Define and own detection coverage strategy — establish detection standards, naming conventions, and quality criteria for the SOC and Product Security program. Map the threat landscape to MITRE ATT&CK TTP coverage; prioritize detection development against real adversary behaviors and threat intelligence; maintain ATT&CK coverage heatmaps and track MTTD and false positive rates as operational KPIs. Build and ship agentic detection and response — own the full lifecycle from threat use case through detections-as-code, automated triage, and production agentic response workflows. Design and govern AI agent identity and delegation — architect the end-to-end lifecycle for non-human identities operating in the security environment, including scoped delegation, audit logging, and kill-switch controls. Apply MITRE ATLAS adversarial ML techniques to threat-model all agent deployments; validate guardrails against OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI. Product Security & Cryptographic Infrastructure Support and enhance Solidigm's Product Security & Code Signing platform — the cryptographic foundation for firmware signing, device identity (EJBCA/PKI), attestation (COSE/CBOR, LMS, PQC/ML-DSA), and unlock (CRAM/ADU) across all product lines. Build and maintain automation for signing pipelines, HSM health monitoring, certificate lifecycle management, and access provisioning workflows integrated into CI/CD. Contribute to PQC adoption — ML-DSA, LMS/LMOD, CNSA 2.0+, and OCP 3.0+ readiness — by developing and shipping the automation and tooling that operationalizes these standards. Own and evolve the security data platform supporting cryptographic governance: signing telemetry, KPI dashboards, audit logging, and anomaly detection for signing infrastructure. Architect and govern AI agent integrations within the code signing and cryptographic operations environment — scoped identity, delegation controls, and human-oversight mechanisms for any automation touching signing or key operations. Application & Product Security Integration Embed across firmware engineering, CI/CD, and manufacturing teams — delivering security controls, pipeline integrations, and attestation automation directly in their environments. Integrate security requirements (SAST, SBOM generation and validation, attestation signing, supply-chain controls) across firmware build and release pipelines. Validate security controls through adversary emulation and purple team exercises; close coverage gaps identified through testing and operational feedback. Operate within and strengthen NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, NIST FIPS 140-3, NSA CNSA 2.0+, OCP 2.5 to 3.0+, and ISO 27001/SOX ITGC governance gates. Technical Leadership & Expectations Lead security program components and define detection, automation, and cryptographic governance standards — not just execute them. Shape the product and application security engineering roadmap through threat modeling, control design, and input to the Cryptographic Architecture Board and security roadmap. Serve as initial point of contact for cross-team security engineering projects; align technical outcomes with business requirements across firmware, manufacturing, and operations. Mentor MSP analysts, junior security engineers, and firmware engineers on agentic patterns, detection best practices, and cryptographic operational hygiene — multiplying team effectiveness. Champion good engineering habits (TDD, security-by-design, tech debt balance, agile) within and beyond the security team; uphold standards that set a benchmark for excellence. Work with Engineering Managers and the Product & App Security Lead to define priorities, roadmap, and resource allocation; be accountable for high quality in team output. Force-Multiply Managed Services & Operational Partners Build supervised automations that expand analyst and operator capacity under oversight — replacing L1 toil with agents and lowering cost-to-serve while maintaining Solidigm governance and visibility. Develop and maintain operational runbooks, training materials, and knowledge documentation to build resilient team capabilities and reduce single-person knowledge concentration risk. Participate in daily, weekly, and monthly governance rhythms: ops standups, KPI reporting, quarterly CISO reviews, and the Cryptographic Architecture Board. Qualifications B.S.
