    • Generate prioritized remediation strategies.
    • Automatically develop fixes, where feasible (e.g., patches, configuration updates, code changes).
    • Integrate findings into enterprise DevSecOps and SOC workflows.

Key Responsibilities:
  • AI-Driven Vulnerability Detection & Analysis
    • Design and deploy AI-powered vulnerability discovery pipelines across:
      • Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
      • On-prem infrastructure
      • Applications, APIs, and microservices
      • AI/LLM systems and data pipelines.
    • Leverage AI techniques for:
      • Pattern recognition in logs, telemetry, and attack signals
      • Behavioral anomaly detection
      • Identification of zero-day and emerging threats.
      • Perform AI-assisted attack simulation and adversarial testing to proactively identify weaknesses.
  • Intelligent Risk Prioritization
    • Leverage and build-on AI models and scoring mechanisms to:
      • Correlate vulnerabilities with threat intelligence, exploitability, and business impact
      • Reduce false positives and alert fatigue.
    • Implement contextual risk evaluation incorporating:
      • Asset criticality
      • Identity exposure (human and non-human identities)
      • Data sensitivity and regulatory impact.
    • Align prioritization with frameworks such as:
      • NIST CSF/AI RMF
      • MITRE Telecommunication&CK/ATLAS.
  • Automated & Assisted Remediation
    • Develop and maintain:

      • Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) remediation templates
      • Secure code transformation scripts (e.g., Python, Java, Terraform).
      • Build AI agents to perform repeatable, permissible tasks.
      • Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure safe deployment of automated remediation.
  • Secure AI & Application Ecosystem Engineering
    • Secure enterprise AI systems, including:
      • LLMs, RAG pipelines, AI agents, and copilots.
    • Implement protections against:
      • Prompt injection, data exfiltration, adversarial attacks, AI model integrity risk, and more.
    • Build and enforce:
      • AI guardrails and runtime controls
      • Secure model deployment pipelines
      • Data protection and practices.
  • DevSecOps & Continuous Security Integration

      • Continuous compliance monitoring.
    • Ensure vulnerabilities are automatically:
      • Detected pre-production and remediated (or blocked) before release.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
    • Work closely with:
      • AI Program teams
      • Cloud Platform and Cloud Engineering teams
      • Software engineering teams
      • Security operations and GRC teams
