External Title Senior Cybersecurity Architect – Agentic Engineering

The Senior Cybersecurity Architect – Agentic Engineering defines and advances cybersecurity approaches and architectures for Agentic Engineering. The role establishes practical security architectures, controls and guardrails for AI agents and agent-enabled software development, applying them across the software development lifecycle and runtime.

The role works across Cybersecurity, Architecture and Engineering to translate security principles into usable engineering patterns, influence adoption and demonstrate progress through implementation and adoption outcomes. It combines strategic security architecture with practical engagement in the design and delivery of secure agentic capabilities.

• Define and apply cybersecurity architectures, controls and guardrails for AI agents and agent-enabled software development.
• Assess and address security risks associated with agentic systems across design, development, deployment and runtime.
• Apply security approaches across the software development lifecycle, including development tools, agent integrations, identities and permissions, data access, software supply chain, testing, deployment, monitoring and incident response.
• Translate security principles and requirements into practical, reusable engineering patterns, reference architectures, standards and guidance.
• Influence Cybersecurity, Architecture and Engineering stakeholders to align on and adopt secure approaches for Agentic Engineering.
• Partner with engineering teams to integrate security controls into agentic workflows and development platforms in ways that are effective and usable.
• Identify adoption barriers and work with stakeholders to address them.
• Establish or contribute to implementation plans and adoption milestones; monitor progress and communicate outcomes, risks and lessons learned.
• Evaluate emerging threats, technologies and practices relevant to AI agents and agent-enabled software development, and recommend appropriate architectural responses.
• Advise stakeholders on security risks, trade-offs and control options, supporting informed decisions that balance risk, business needs and engineering usability.
• Collaborate with relevant teams to ensure that security approaches are consistent with enterprise architecture, cybersecurity policies and applicable standards.
• Coach and advise cybersecurity and engineering practitioners, and share knowledge to build secure Agentic Engineering capability.
