Job description

Why this role?

Build the security and testing strategy for Purple Fabric , the enterprise multi-agent AI platform powering mission-critical workflows for leading BFSI institutions. You'll own the vision, orchestrate execution across squads , and pioneer what "testing" means for Agentic AI , where the secure path is the fastest path to production .

The mission

  • Own the strategy : security, privacy, and EvalOps (safety / reliability testing for agents, tools, and models)
  • Drive integrated delivery : embed security & evaluations into everyday development and CI / CD.
  • Lead without silos : partner with Product, Engineering, QA, Platform, Data Privacy, Compliance, and Customer teams
  • Be the voice : represent Purple Fabric's security vision to clients, regulators, and the industry through thought leadership

What you'll do?

Strategy & Governance

  • Set the target operating model , policies / standards (policy-as-code), and paved-road patterns
  • Chair risk / evaluation councils;

    • maintain strategic riskregister and security roadmap

  • Lead ISO / IEC 42001 readiness for AI systems alongside SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 maintenance
  • Define success metrics and implement evidence-first dashboards

    • Agentic AI & LLM Security (learn and build with us)

  • Build the EvalOps framework : offline / online safety & reliability evaluations, operational design domains (ODDs), risk-weighted gates
  • Develop defenses against emerging LLM threats : prompt injection, jailbreaking, indirect attacks, adversarial prompts
  • Secure RAG architectures, vector stores, agent memory, and multi-agent orchestration patterns
  • Establish guardrails, content filtering, and output validation for LLM responses
  • Deploy monitoring for AI agent behavior, anomaly detection, and DLP for LLM inputs / outputs
  • Run red-team / purple-team exercises adapted for Agentic AI attack vectors
  • You'll shape this practice, we're building it together as the field evolves

    • Security in Development

  • Embed automated CI / CD gates : SAST / DAST / SCA / SBOM, IaC / Kubernetes security, AI / LLM safety checks
  • Deploy runtime canaries and security testing in production
  • Drive adoption of secure coding standards and threat modeling practices
  • Orchestrate cloud / runtime posture (Zero Trust, CNAPP, secrets / KMS, mTLS) via Platform teams

    • Client Trust & Thought Leadership

  • Stand up customer trust artifacts : security scorecards, compliance portals, and audit-ready documentation
  • Lead client security reviews, assessments, and due diligence processes
  • Drive 95% win rate on security sections of RFPs and vendor assessments
  • Author white papers and present at conferences on Agentic AI security and responsible AI
  • Build Purple Fabric's reputation as a pioneer in secure AI agent deployment

  • Grow a high-performance security organization
  • Build Security & Testing Champions network across squads
  • Foster security-first culture through training and enablement

    • Ownership model :

  • Direct (Accountable) : Strategy / roadmap, standards, assurance & eval frameworks, risk register, metrics & gates, thought leadership
  • Indirect (Orchestrate) : Squad-level implementation, SecOps & IR, cloud posture, privacy controls, certification delivery

    • You'll thrive here if you have

    Experience & Foundation

  • 15+ years in Security with 5+ years leading cross-functional programs in regulated SaaS / BFSI environments
  • Strong application security background with experience securing APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms
  • Track record of building security practices in emerging technology areas

    • What we're looking for in AI Security?

  • Curiosity and learning agility around LLM and Agentic AI technologies
  • Understanding of application security fundamentals that translate to AI systems (input validation, output sanitization, access controls)
  • Willingness to become a domain expert as the field evolves, we'll invest in your growth
  • No formal AI security certification required , the field is too new. We value :
  • Security engineering mindset applied to novel problems
  • Ability to threat-model unfamiliar systems
  • Experience adapting security practices to emerging technologies
  • Interest in researching and staying current with AI security developments

    • Technical & Strategic Expertise

  • Understanding of NIST CSF , with interest in NIST AI RMF , OWASP LLM Top 10 , MITRE ATLAS (we'll help you get there)
  • Strong DevSecOps background with CI / CD security automation and cloud security (AWS / Azure / GCP)
  • Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture, CNAPP, secrets management, Kubernetes security
  • Familiarity with security frameworks and compliance requirements

    • Leadership & Communication

  • Exceptional ability to influence without authority and orchestrate across decentralized teams
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication for executives, clients, regulators, and technical audiences
  • Strong technical writing skills for white papers, thought leadership, and compliance documentation.
  • Proven client trust-building and comfort with public speaking
  • Strategic thinking balanced with hands-on execution capability

    • What we offer?

  • Pioneer a new discipline : Be among the first to define Agentic AI security at scale
  • Opportunity to contribute to industry standards and shape best practices
  • Collaborative environment with direct access to executive leadership and global BFSI clients
  • Evidence-first culture with shared OKRs across Product / Eng / QA
  • Direct exposure to global banks, auditors, and regulators
