About the job
As a Staff Enterprise Security Engineer, you will be a technical leader within the EntSec team, responsible for the foundational security posture of our organization.

Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll:
- Design and implement secure reference architectures for Enterprise AI platforms that secures every Twilion’s engagement with them, ensuring data integrity, regulatory compliance, and resilience against evolving AI threats.
- Establish a definitive framework for AI vetting, driving the cultural and policy shifts needed to institutionalize this strategic mindset across the organization.
- Collaborate with cross functional partners to develop and set the long term roadmap for agentic AI identity and posture management, ensuring cohesive strategies for reducing risk from agentic AI use.
- Maintain and improve our enterprise security posture through high-quality code (Python, Go, or similar) and automated infrastructure management via IAC.
- Act as a technical mentor to junior engineers and a strategic advisor to leadership on the evolving AI landscape.
