Senior AI Security Engineer
Position Overview
We are seeking a senior-level Security Engineer to support a strategic initiative integrating agentic AI capabilities into a modern eCommerce platform. This platform includes guest-facing autonomous capabilities (search, personalization, booking assistance) and internal agentic services (content, knowledge, analytics). This role sits at the intersection of agentic AI security, identity and access management, and large-scale eCommerce application security. The engineer will help design and operationalize runtime guardrails, identity-aware authorization, and policy enforcement across both guest-facing and internal systems. This is not a traditional application security role. The ideal candidate is comfortable securing non-deterministic systems, tool-calling agents, and identity-driven control planes, while grounding solutions in proven web, API, and edge-security principles.

- Identity and Access Management: Basic authentication, knowledge of where memories are stored, ability to assess systems and determine how to extract logs
