ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Lead Security Software Engineer to architect GenAI workflows and automation systems that translate manual cloud security adoption into AI-accelerated pipelines within a large-scale financial services environment. You will design RAG-based systems and LLM API integrations to automate secure cloud baseline generation, Rego policy creation, and Terraform module compliance, while leading a localized engineering pod and acting as the primary technical point of contact for cloud security tooling. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Architect Generative AI workflows (utilizing RAG, vector databases, and LLM APIs) to automate the creation of configuration requirements, Rego policies, and Terraform modules for new cloud services (e.g., AWS S3); - Oversee the development of automated drift detection, continuous discovery, and gap analysis capabilities to identify unmanaged AI assets and configuration anomalies; - Guide the engineering pod in generating and validating compliant Terraform modules, Rego policies (for Wiz Custom Configuration Rules), and Regula test cases for CI/CD pipelines; - Act as the primary technical point of contact for a Cloud Security Tooling (CST) team, leading a localized pod to ensure scalable, maintainable, and highly effective automation frameworks. MUST HAVES - 6+ years of software engineering experience with a strong architectural focus on Cloud infrastructure; - Advanced Python development and REST API design capabilities; - Practical experience integrating Gen AI APIs into software applications (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and a working understanding of developer-level concepts like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Vector databases. (Note: We need software builders, not Machine Learning researchers); - Deep Cloud Architecture experience (AWS preferred) and proven ability to design Infrastructure as Code (Terraform); - Proven capability to lead and mentor senior engineers in an autonomous, follow-the-sun model; - Upper-intermediate English level. NICE TO HAVES - Hands-on experience with modern AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph); - Experience building APIs with FastAPI; - Direct experience writing Rego policies (Open Policy Agent) or Regula test cases; - Familiarity with Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), particularly Wiz. PERKS AND BENEFITS - Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps. - Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets. - Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies. - Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
