Senior Security Engineer, AI Platform IT Engineering · Cyber Resiliency · Remote The role in a nutshell AI moves fast. Embarrassingly fast. And right now, most corporate IT teams are reacting to it, scrambling to figure out what employees are pasting into ChatGPT while the next model drop quietly changes the rules again. You're going to change that at Chainguard. This is a brand-new role sitting within the IT Engineering group inside Cyber Resiliency. You'll own our managed AI platform posture end-to-end: anticipating what's coming, governing how we use it, tracking what it costs us, building the tooling that keeps it safe, and making sure everyone from engineering to the exec team is using AI in ways that are fast, secure, and defensible. This is an individual contributor role. You won't be managing people but you'll be managing chaos. There's no playbook yet. You're writing it. What you'll do Stay ahead of the roadmap (literally, it's the job) Continuously monitor Claude and ChatGPT product roadmaps, release notes, and vendor communications to anticipate platform changes before they land Translate upcoming features into proactive configuration, policy, and enablement decisions not reactive scrambles Maintain active relationships with Anthropic and OpenAI account teams; flag ToS updates, data processing agreement changes, and acceptable use policy shifts before
