## About the role

This is a hands-on architecture role: deep research, secure systems design, and prototyping, applied across product lines with minimal direction and broad latitude to set the technical agenda. You will set platform-wide direction for securing the AI development lifecycle, define the security architecture, agents, and models operating within it, and represent ServiceNow's AI security point of view externally. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor’s / Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, specialisation in Security or AI/ML or an exceptional, well-evidenced track record substituting for it
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, including a track record of owning the architecture of complex systems at enterprise scale
- A track record of setting technical direction beyond your own team - architecture or standards other teams adopted, senior engineers you've levelled up, and comfort operating where the problem isn't yet defined
- 7+ years in security engineering - network and systems security, security protocols, design reviews, and threat modeling - with a focus on AI-specific work in recent years
- Multiple demonstrated engagements threat modeling and/or securing LLM, GenAI, or agentic systems, with evidence of platform-level or cross-team impact
- Personal ownership of prompt injection / jailbreak defense, guardrail architecture, or AI red-teaming programs - ideally having built the program/methodology, not just executed within one
