The role requires strong technical ownership, collaboration, and the ability to translate security findings into actionable improvements.

• Design, build, and operate an AI-augmented red teaming harness using advanced LLM APIs to support autonomous and semi-autonomous vulnerability discovery.
• Develop control loop architectures that enable AI-driven security workflows based on planning, action, observation, and adjustment.
• Integrate security tooling, vulnerability intelligence sources, software composition analysis, and CI/CD security controls into the red teaming ecosystem.
• Conduct adversarial testing across multiple perspectives, including external attackers, internal users, authenticated users, and privileged environments.
• Identify, chain, validate, and prioritize vulnerabilities using risk-based frameworks such as CVSS, EPSS, and KEV scoring.
• Support and operate internal bug bounty activities, including reviewing findings and coordinating remediation efforts.
• Own security stage gates within CI/CD workflows and ensure security checks are integrated into software delivery processes.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps, SOC, and engineering teams to improve vulnerability detection, response workflows, and security automation.
