• Assist in threat modeling, design reviews, and architectural assessments for new and existing systems.
• Contribute to internal security documentation, best practices, and developer guidance.
• Participate in security incident response when engineering expertise or automation support is needed.
• AI-Driven Innovation: Research, architect, and safely embed cutting-edge AI utilities and Large Language Model (LLM) agents directly into our secure infrastructure.
