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. The role requires 6+ years of software engineering experience with advanced Python, AWS architecture, and GenAI API integration expertise.

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 GenAI APIs into software applications (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and a working understanding of developer-level concepts such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and vector databases.

- Deep AWS cloud architecture experience and proven ability to design Infrastructure as Code using 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 such as LangChain and 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.
