About the job

Join our team as a Senior Staff Platform and Product Security AI Engineer, leading the charge in securing AI-enabled products at scale. Drive security strategy, architect guardrails, and influence product teams with your expertise in AI security, DevSecOps, and large-scale engineering. Shape the future of secure AI at Adobe.

Responsibilities

Architect secure-by-default guardrails for AI-assisted development.

Design and scale security guardrails for modern engineering workflows: CI/CD pipelines, policy-as-code, developer tooling, PR feedback, and secure-by-default platform patterns.

Define and enforce security controls for AI coding assistants and tools, including safer permissions, sandboxing, credential protections, across various surfaces including web, desktop, mobile and backend infrastructure.

Drive DevSecOps and automation across the SDLC, including PR feedback, SAST/SCA, secrets scanning, infrastructure-as-code review, container security, and SBOM intelligence.

Establish reusable security standards, security skills, secure coding rules, and paved-road patterns that product teams can adopt without inventing their own approach.

Lead production agent security including runtime prompt-injection defense, tool-use sandboxing, multi-tenant data isolation, agent output handling, and setting trust boundaries across services.

Lead security incident response. Drive post-incident architecture changes to improve security posture of the application and the platform.

Partner with Product, Engineering, AI platform teams including Privacy, Legal, Trust and Safety to align security strategy with business priorities and customer outcomes.

Track adoption, coverage, remediation speed, developer friction, and residual risk. Use those metrics to influence roadmap decisions, and security culture programs.

Qualifications

Minimum

Practical expertise in one or more languages such as Python, Java, TypeScript, Go, or similar. Experience with AI/agent frameworks.

Experience maturing security ideas from prototype into production grade.

Outstanding communication skills, strong planning skills, and high attention to detail.

Strong judgment in balancing security, business, customer, and developer productivity needs.

Demonstrated technology leadership through strategy documents, technical talks, and conference submissions.
