## About the role

You'll own how Sysdig proves its security claims — to auditors, to enterprise customers, and to regulators — and you'll rebuild that function as engineering rather than paperwork. You'll also build one program from nothing: AI assurance, covering both our own AI systems and the AI questions now arriving in every enterprise deal.

## What they're looking for

- Drive down the cost of proof. Labor per audit cycle should fall year over year. That number shows the engineering work is real, and it is the one we will hold you to
- Own AI third-party risk. Most new vendor risk now arrives wearing an AI label. Decide what we accept, and be able to show why
- Write the specifications that settle hard questions. Access paths, separation of duties, administrative transparency, tenant isolation. In writing, and defensible under audit rather than persuasive on a call
- Enable the field. Sales engineers and account teams should answer most security questions without you in the room. Build for that, then measure whether it happened
- Push risk into engineering. Turn findings into commitments with owners and dates, or into a formal management response when the answer is to accept the risk. Escalate when the answer should be no
- Use agents to scale the function itself. Evidence generation, questionnaire drafting, control validation, gap analysis. If an assurance task is repeatable, it should run without you
