Develop and maintain platforms end to end using React, Python FastAPI, Celery, Postgres, Redis, and Kubernetes with Argo.
Evaluate LLM and retrieval outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability for internal users.
Address AI-specific risks like prompt injection, data exposure, and output manipulation.
Make architecture decisions for new security capabilities, balancing performance, scalability, maintainability, and responsible AI use.
Identify security gaps with internal users and propose features to close them.
Partner with security and product teams to translate their needs into scalable features.
Use AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to move faster without compromising code quality.
Share knowledge with peers, support teammates, and contribute to Adobe’s security community.
