Principal Architect GenAI Security

The Principal Architect in GenAI Security will lead the Advanced Technology cybersecurity architecture efforts with a focus on Generative AI (GenAI) systems and the integration of Secure Software Development Life Cycle (Secure SDLC) practices. This senior role requires a strategic visionary with a wealth of experience in designing robust security frameworks and implementing security best practices across complex AI-driven environments. The architect will ensure that all phases of software development are infused with security measures that align with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities:

Define and evolve the organization's security architecture strategy, with a focus on incorporating Secure SDLC methodologies into Generative AI and machine learning projects. Lead the development of security architectures that address the unique challenges of AI systems while aligning with the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software development, AI research, and operations, to embed security into all stages of the SDLC, from initial design to deployment and maintenance. Champion a culture of security by design, ensuring that security is an integral part of the software engineering process, including the adoption of security automation and orchestration tools. Drive the adoption of security best practices and patterns for AI development, such as threat modeling, code reviews, static and dynamic analysis, and penetration testing within the SDLC. Provide mentorship and leadership in the development of security standards, guidelines, and procedures that support Secure SDLC practices. Keep abreast of emerging security threats, especially those targeting AI technologies, and adjust the security architecture to mitigate these risks proactively. Oversee the integration of advanced security tools and techniques, such as AI-specific static analysis tools, to prevent vulnerabilities in machine learning code and configurations. Lead security reviews and architecture assessments for new and existing AI projects, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations. Develop comprehensive metrics and reporting frameworks to measure the effectiveness of Secure SDLC practices and the overall security posture of AI initiatives. Represent the organization in external forums, working groups, and conferences to share knowledge and stay informed about the latest trends in AI security and Secure SDLC.
