This role demands a hands-on breaker-builder who can balance deep technical expertise with practical risk management, while collaborating with AI, product, and Dev Ops teams.

Key Responsibilities

Security Engineering & Automation

- Design and implement security automation frameworks for threat detection, remediation and compliance validation across cloud and application layers.
- Develop tools and scripts to enhance security visibility in AI model pipelines, APIs and data integrations.
- Integrate security controls into CI/CD workflows (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scanning).
- Worked on XDR/SIEM for automated detection and response.

Application & API Security

- Perform secure code reviews and threat modeling for AI microservices, REST APIs and agent frameworks.
- Collaborate with developers to remediate vulnerabilities and enforce secure SDLC practices.
- Lead periodic VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) for web, mobile apps, Agentic AI platform and connected services.
- Identified and mitigated vulnerabilities such as OTP bypass, data leaks in public GCS buckets and source code exposure.

Cloud & Infrastructure Security

- Secure multi-cloud (GCP/AWS) environments using native and third-party tools.
- Build and maintain IaC security baselines and automated configuration drift detection.
- Configure and manage WAF for custom DDoS and bot protection.
- Manage secrets, IAM and container security best practices across production workloads.
- Fix misconfigurations, default credentials, and public exposures across systems like Grafana, Zookeeper, and Prometheus.

AI & Data Security

- Continuously monitor for compromised datasets, credentials, and model theft attempts in deep/dark web spaces.
- Implement data protection mechanisms for AI training pipelines, model storage and inference endpoints.
- Evaluate and mitigate prompt injection, model leakage and data exfiltration risks in AI agents.

Monitoring & Incident Response

- Collaborate with internal teams to improve threat detection, alert triage and response automation.
- Monitor dark web and forums like Telegram/Russian marketplaces for leaked data, compromised credentials, and fake breach claims.
- Build dashboards and reports for proactive risk visibility.

Security Awareness & Leadership

- Conduct internal security training and phishing simulations.
- Mentor interns and engineers on VAPT, incident response, and secure coding.
- Advocate for organization-wide adoption of DMARC, SPF, and DKIM for email protection.

Compliance & Governance

- Contribute to ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA security controls implementation.
- Document policies, run internal audits and support external assessments.
- Manage security communications with third-party vendors (Google Security, Visit Health, Ping Safe, etc.) and ethical disclosures.

Key Requirements

- Experience:

2-6 years in application, cloud or product security engineering.
- Strong programming/scripting in Python, Go or Node.js (for automation).
- Deep understanding of web and mobile security, OWASP Top 10, and secure SDLC practices.
- Hands-on experience with:
- Cloud security (IAM, key management, configuration monitoring, threat detection and security monitoring using tools like CSPM, CASB, SIEM, etc.)
- IaC tools (Terraform, Cloud Formation)
- CI/CD tools (Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, Git Lab CI)
- Strong understanding of containers (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/GKE)
- Familiar with AI model security and data privacy principles (preferred).
- Knowledge of compliance frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST or GDPR.
- Certifications (Good to have): OSCP, GCP/AWS Security Specialty, CEH, CISSP or CKS.

Soft Skills

- Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration.
- Passion for innovation, automation and continuous learning.
