Your Impact

You will build the technical engine that helps ITRM respond to risk at machine speed. You will use Circuit My Agent, and sub-agents to turn signals from security exposure, lifecycle and technical debt, SOX, resilience, identity and AI security, GRC, and portfolio ownership into real-time risk insights and closed-loop action. You will help move the organization from retrospective reporting to risk reduction that is tested, verified, and improved.
  • Design, build, and operate Circuit My Agent and sub-agent workflows that sense signals, map exposure, prioritize risk by business impact, and deliver real-time insights.
  • Integrate enterprise sources such as ServiceNow, ESP, CMDB, AppSec and vulnerability tooling, SOX evidence, resilience tests, and audit or MAP actions into trusted risk intelligence.
  • Implement rules, guardrails, and automated controls that detect drift or unsafe change across systems, models, data, and dependencies, with human review for exceptions.
  • Test resilience, control effectiveness, and AI lifecycle safeguards before disruption and as systems evolve, using telemetry and evidence to identify gaps.
  • Build closed-loop workflows that track action, verify risk reduction, and develop lessons back into design.
  • Partner with the Risk Lead, domain owners, Security Primes, PSAs, and engineers to productionize the capability.


Minimum Qualifications
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience building production applications, integrations, or automation.
  • AI-first attitude with demonstrated ability to experiment with emerging models, developer tools, and agentic workflows; knows the latest model capabilities and challenges established ways of working.
  • Experience building APIs, event-driven services, or automated workflows using Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or a comparable language.
  • Experience integrating signals or telemetry from multiple enterprise systems into risk intelligence, alerts, dashboards, or operational reporting.
  • Experience with source control, CI/CD, and automated testing for services running in production.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience applying AI models, agents, or sub-agents to improve engineering productivity, quality, or risk reduction; evaluates emerging tools and trends and turns useful experiments into production capabilities.
  • Experience with IT risk, security, compliance, resilience, or control data, such as SOX evidence, vulnerabilities, CMDB, ServiceNow, or GRC platforms.
  • Experience implementing rules, telemetry, automated controls, or resilience and control-effectiveness testing for production systems.
  • Experience designing dashboards or measures for real-time risk insight, signal-to-action time, verified closure, automation coverage, or repeat-risk reduction.
  • Constructive communication and active listening. Identifies obstacles early, follows through to reliable outcomes, and influences through peer networking.
