Agentic AI – Information Security Engineer

Preface

The rapid evolution of autonomous systems necessitates a paradigm shift in Information Security and Cybersecurity Engineering , moving beyond perimeter defense into the realm of Agentic AI Governance . This mandate requires an elite practitioner possessing an advanced academic background—ideally a Ph.D. or Master’s in Computer Science, Mathematical Engineering, or Cryptography—to apply first-principles thinking to the unique threat models inherent in LLM-driven agency.

The successful candidate will bridge the gap between theoretical vulnerability research and the deployment of resilient, self-healing security architectures. This is an invitation for a forensic intellectual to formalize the security protocols that will govern the next generation of intelligent, automated workflows within a high-stakes computational environment.

The Mission

StaffRight Associates is recruiting for a technical visionary to lead the architectural fortification of Agentic AI ecosystems. The mission is to decouple traditional security constraints from dynamic AI workflows, engineering a proactive defense-in-depth strategy that anticipates emergent threats. You will be responsible for the systemic integrity of autonomous agents, ensuring that as these systems gain agency, they remain anchored in a rigorous, automated security framework that minimizes the attack surface while maximizing operational velocity.

Core Technical Objectives

• Architect and iterate upon complex security protocols to ensure the systemic resilience of the organizational infrastructure.

• Formalize threat modeling and vulnerability assessment methodologies specifically tailored for Agentic AI systems and autonomous execution loops.

• Engineer sophisticated automation engines to programmatically detect, isolate, and neutralize common and emergent security vectors.

• Orchestrate the deployment of high-fidelity endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions across a distributed Linux-based environment.

• Validate the integrity of AI-driven workflows through continuous red-teaming, penetration testing, and cryptographic verification.

• Optimize the DevSecOps lifecycle by integrating automated security gates into the continuous deployment pipeline for intelligent systems.

Candidate DNA

• Architectural Philosophy: A deep-seated belief in Security as Code and the ability to design systems that are secure by design rather than by perimeter.

• Technical Versatility: Mastery of Linux systems internals and a profound understanding of low-level security fundamentals (memory safety, network protocols, and process isolation).

• Programming Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in systems programming and scripting (e.g., Python, Rust, or Go) to build custom tooling and automate complex mitigation logic.

• AI/ML Literacy: A nuanced understanding of the unique vulnerabilities associated with LLM agency, including prompt injection, data poisoning, and unauthorized tool-use escalation.

• Communication Synthesis: The ability to translate forensic technical findings into strategic security policies that align with broader organizational goals.

Academic & Research Pedigree

• Advanced Degree: A Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, or a related STEM field is highly preferred.

• Foundational Rigor: A background characterized by a strong mathematical foundation and a proven track record of solving non-linear security challenges.

• Experience Tier: While the search is open to various levels of seniority, candidates must demonstrate a level of technical depth consistent with the high-caliber compensation and the complexity of securing autonomous agents.
