Principal Security Innovation Engineer

Ready to Shape the Future of AI Security?

We're not looking for someone who just talks tech—we need a builder, innovator, and customer champion who lives at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and enterprise security.

The Opportunity

Imagine this : You're in the room when a Fortune 500 CISO asks, "How do we stop AI from becoming our biggest security liability?" You don't just have the answer— you build it with them , right there, turning their pain into our product's next game-changing feature.

As our Field CTO , you'll be the technical heartbeat between our customers and our engineering DNA. This isn't a suit-and-tie evangelist role. This is hands-on, code-writing, architecture-designing, problem-solving leadership where your Python skills are as sharp as your executive presence.

What You'll Actually Do

Build & Ship — Lead proof-of-concept engagements that turn "what if" into "when can we deploy?" Write Python-based AI security solutions that customers can't live without.

Translate & Influence — Take real-world nightmares (data exfiltration, AI misuse, shadow AI) and transform them into features our engineering team ships within quarters, not years.

Drive Innovation — Host quarterly "Innovation Days" where customers, product teams, and engineers co-create detection logic, AI rule sets, and policy engines that define the category.

Be the Voice — You're the customer's advocate internally and our technical authority externally. Architecture reviews, compliance deep-dives, executive briefings—you command the room every time.

Create Impact — Deliver solution briefs, reference architectures, and demos that make our partners and field teams unstoppable.

Who You Are

The Technical Athlete :

• 15+ years in enterprise cybersecurity with battle scars from DLP, SIEM, SOAR, XDR implementations
• 5+ years customer-facing, where you've turned skeptics into believers
• 1+ year deep in AI / ML security (because GenAI isn't a buzzword for you—it's a threat vector you know how to secure)
• Python expert with production ML chops (pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow / PyTorch aren't just on your resume—they're in your GitHub)

The Security Architect :

The Customer Whisperer :

The Differentiator :

Why This Role is Different

This is NOT a sales support role

This is NOT a glorified demo monkey position

This is NOT PowerPoint engineering

This IS where customer needs become product reality

This IS where your code runs in production at enterprise scale

This IS where you define what AI security looks like in 2025 and beyond

The Impact You'll Make

What We Value

Customer Obsession — Their wins are your wins

Innovation Addiction — You pilot before others even notice the trend

Data-Driven Decisions — Gut instincts backed by metrics

Collaborative Spirit — Cross-functional isn't a buzzword, it's how we operate

Ready to Make Security Personal Again?

If you're tired of being disconnected from customers, if you want your technical expertise to directly shape products millions will use, and if you believe AI security is the defining challenge of this decade— let's talk .

This role reports directly to executive leadership. You'll have a seat at the strategy table, a direct line to engineering, and the autonomy to make things happen.

Location : Remote-friendly with strategic travel for customer engagements
