* Demonstrated experience translating AI governance requirements into technical security controls and working with engineering teams to implement and scale them.
* Experience performing AI threat modeling across traditional ML and Generative AI systems, including agent-based architectures.
* Familiarity with agentic AI technologies and protocols, including AI agents and autonomous workflows, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication etc.
* Familiarity with AI governance standards and regulatory frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, EU AI Act, and others.
* Experience with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platforms and collaboration with privacy, legal, and security teams.
