Cisco's AI Defense team is looking to solve challenges related to AI Security Posture Management (SPM) by building innovative products and platforms at a world-wide scale.
Requirements
- 15+ years designing large-scale, distributed cloud platforms, with emphasis on secure, event-driven, high-throughput systems.
- Proficient in Go, Python, AWS (EKS, EC2, IAM, etc.), and cloud-native development with microservices, APIs, and real-time pipelines.
- Built and hardened security features, implemented zero-trust, and architected multi-account AWS solutions.
- Designed data architectures for high-volume telemetry and analytics using both streaming and batch patterns.
- Drove reliability, autoscaling, observability, and incident response in SaaS environments.
- Mentored engineers, led reviews, and collaborated across teams to drive integration and compliance.
- Experience with agentic AI and model security (guardrails, model evaluation/observability, prompt/tool abuse prevention, policy enforcement for MCP/A2A).
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and own a secure, scalable, multi-tenant cloud-native AI SPM platform, driving development, data architecture, and system hardening.
- Ensure platform reliability, performance, and operational quality through best practices in resiliency, observability, and incident response.
- Mentor engineering teams, set high technical standards, and collaborate across Cisco to integrate with key platforms and drive business alignment.
- Architect and Build: Design, implement, and own a secure, scalable, multi-tenant cloud-native AI SPM platform, driving development, data architecture, and system hardening.
- Drive Reliability and Operational Excellence: Ensure platform reliability, performance, and operational quality through best practices in resiliency, observability, and incident response.
- Mentor and Collaborate: Mentor engineering teams, set high technical standards, and collaborate across Cisco to integrate with key platforms and drive business alignment.
Other
- Partner with product management, security researchers, data/ML teams, and platform engineers across Cisco to define the end-to-end technical vision, drive architectural decisions, and ship secure, scalable services that our customers trust.
- Mentor engineering teams, set high technical standards, and collaborate across Cisco to integrate with key platforms and drive business alignment.
- Prior experience leading platform migrations or greenfield 0→1 initiatives at scale.
- WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone.
- We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together.
