Job Description

About the role
A senior, self-directed architect in a lean airline security team. You work without day-to-day supervision: you find where the team spends effort on repeatable work, decide what to automate, build it and measure the result. You own the security architecture for the AI systems we build and buy, and you take a lead role in strategic security initiatives across on-prem and multicloud (AWS, GCP, Azure). You still build: automation, policy-as-code and proofs of concept, not only documents.
How you'll work: find → design → build → verify → evolve
- Find. Independently map how the security team works detection, incident response, vulnerability management, pentesting, IAM, compliance and spot repeatable manual work, weak controls and gaps; threat-model new AI systems and initiatives (MITRE ATLAS, MITRE ATT&CK;, OWASP).
- Design. Automation and architecture patterns with explicit trade-offs: data boundaries, identity for humans and agents, least-privilege tool access, guardrails, human-in-the-loop for decisions.
- Build.



Ship it yourself or alongside engineers: agentic workflows, integrations, IaC and policy-as-code, proofs of concept.
- Verify. Validate with the pentest and detection teams; measure hours removed, error rates and coverage.
- Evolve. Keep a roadmap and metrics; update patterns as the AI and threat landscape shifts.

What you'll do
Automate the security team
- Build agentic and scripted automation for alert enrichment and triage, incident timeline assembly, vulnerability-to-owner routing and remediation tracking, pentest recon and reporting, access reviews and joiner/mover/leaver checks, audit evidence collection, threat-intel ingestion, log-source onboarding and policy-as-code checks.
- Integrate security tooling via APIs and MCP; keep humans in the loop for decisions; track toil removed.
- Make LLM assistants and agentic coding tools (Claude Code, OpenCode) productive and governed for the team: safe-use standards, data-handling
