Full Job Description

**Job Description** We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer with experience in cloud and AI security to help design, build, and scale security controls that protect our firm’s systems, applications, cloud environments, and data—while enabling developer velocity or end‑user productivity. This role is responsible for strengthening the firm’s security posture through automation, secure platform design, and proactive risk mitigation. A significant focus will be on securing AI/ML platforms and AI‑enabled applications across their full lifecycle, from development through deployment and runtime operations. **Responsibilities** * Design and build Identity and Access Management solutions to support AI agent identities, including secure agent authentication, authorization, delegation, credential management , workload identity, tool/API access control, least-privilege enforcement, auditability, and lifecycle management across Windows, Linux, on‑prem infrastructure, cloud, Kubernetes, application, and enterprise environments. * Define and operationalize a Non‑Human Identity (NHI) strategy for agentic workflows (agents, tools, service principals, service accounts, bots), including identity issuance and binding to code/runtime, credential rotation and revocation, secrets isolation, step‑up and delegated authorization, just‑in‑time access, and continuous verification to prevent identity sprawl and privilege drift. * Implement end‑to‑end identity context propagation for agent runs (who/what/why), ensuring every tool call and downstream action is attributable via signed requests, scoped tokens, tamper‑evident audit logs, and correlation IDs across orchestration layers, APIs, and cloud services. * Partner with Platform and Cloud Engineering teams to secure AI/ML systems end‑to‑end. * Develop secure execution environments for open‑source software, third‑party tools, and AI agents by leveraging OS‑level, network, IAM, and containerized controls. * Build monitoring, logging, and detec
