• Experience with AI/LLM platforms like Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, LangChain, AutoGen
• Understanding of AI and LLM application security risks including prompt injection and model governance
• Security certifications such as CSSLP, GWAPT, OSCP, CISSP, or AI-related certifications like AI-900, AI-102

• Embed security into the full software development lifecycle and drive shift-left and secure-by-design practices across engineering teams
• Perform and facilitate threat modeling, architecture security reviews, and design reviews for applications, services, and APIs
• Conduct secure code reviews (manual and AI-assisted) and advise developers on secure coding patterns and remediation
• Implement, configure, tune, and operate application security tooling, including SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC scanning, integrated into CI/CD pipelines
• Triage, validate, prioritize, and reduce false positives in security findings, and partner with development teams to track issues through to remediation
• Define, implement, and maintain security gates and policies in CI/CD pipelines balancing risk reduction with developer velocity
• Secure the software supply chain, including dependency and open-source risk management, SBOM generation, artifact integrity and signing, and build pipeline hardening
• Support and coordinate application penetration testing and validate fixes for identified vulnerabilities
• Drive secrets management, secure configuration, API security, container and image security, and microservice security practices
• Establish and run a security champions program, and develop and deliver secure-coding training, guidelines, and reusable security patterns for developers
• Define and maintain application security standards, baselines, and policy-as-code, and contribute to vulnerability management and risk-acceptance processes
• Build, deploy, and maintain AI-assisted automations and agentic workflows to reduce manual effort across daily application security activities
• Build and integrate AI agents and LLM-backed automations into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, connecting models to scanners, code hosts, ticketing, and security tooling via function calling, REST, and webhooks
• Develop, test, and maintain reusable prompts, structured-prompting patterns, and prompt templates for recurring AppSec tasks
• Implement retrieval over codebases, security standards, and remediation guidance to ensure AI assistants answer from current internal context
• Build evaluation, validation, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints into AI-assisted AppSec workflows, including output verification and approval gates
• Implement security and privacy controls for AppSec AI usage, including least-privilege access, prompt-injection resistance, and auditability of AI-driven actions
• Design, implement, and operate security controls for AI- and LLM-powered application features, including input/output validation, prompt-injection defenses, tool authorization, rate limiting, and governance aligned to OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications
• Define and enforce guardrails for secure adoption of AI in product engineering, covering prompt security, access control, data protection, auditability, and human-in-the-loop processes
